A fertility journey can feel overwhelming and lonely but it doesn’t have to be.

Here, Sophie from The Fertility Show runs us through five reasons why attending the Show can help your TTC efforts so you can get pregnant faster.

Over to Sophie
Hi, it’s Sophie from The Fertility Show, and with less than a month to go until we all meet again at this year’s Fertility Show LIVE, I am here to tell you why you need to be there!
After a COVID-19 enforced hiatus of two whole years, our 12th annual Fertility Show will take place at London Olympia on 7th and 8th May 2022. The renowned Show is the only live event that introduces you to so many top fertility experts, clinics and doctors all in one place, at one time, in a safe and discreet environment.
However, you may still feel apprehensive about attending a live event after a few years of events moving online. It is understandable; we get it. But if you can pass through the anxiety and purchase your ticket, you won’t regret it.
If you still need help deciding whether or not to attend The Fertility Show, I’m here to give you five fantastic reasons why meeting our world-leading fertility experts face to face would be so beneficial for your fertility situation…
FHH readers can save an exclusive 20%* off The Fertility Show ticket by quoting FHH at checkout here.
1) Human Contact is Still Important
Digital communication has now become part of our everyday lives; sitting alone and problem-solving is now the norm. However, it has been proven that human contact calms our nerves, lowers our cortisol (stress hormone) and triggers the release of oxytocin (our happy hormone).
Now I’m not suggesting you wander around the Show holding and hugging our fertility experts, but the very fact that you are there, in a safe community, feeling the support around you will go miles in helping your mental health and well-being and will combat those feelings of being alone which so often accompany a fertility struggle.
2) Building Trust
Having face to face meetings is essential for building strong relationships. It allows us to read a person’s mannerisms better, be that through body language, facial expressions or dynamics – these are all important factors when establishing a bond with someone.
So when it comes to something as important as choosing a fertility clinic and your doctor, you need to discover who you connect with. The Fertility Show brings together almost 100 clinics, experts and organisations from the field of fertility, in one place, under one roof. This is the only place that gives you the chance to meet and speak to this fertility cross-section face to face, in one go, then take this information home with you where you can suss out your feelings and go with your instincts about fertility treatment.

3) Clarity
When meeting a person face to face, conversation flows more naturally. This enables us to be clearer and explain our situation coherently, something that is so important when discussing fertility treatment options and deciding which is right for us.
Face to face conversations with people helps us to focus, digest and understand. So when we need the answers to important questions, such as “which fertility treatment would work better for my situation?” or “what would the best fertility protocol be for me?” asking these questions in person allows us to better understand the responses.
This also applies in the seminars, where our world-leading fertility experts will share their knowledge concisely and answer your questions while you can take notes and digest the expert tips and advice.
4) Your Fertility Questions Answered
Another benefit of attending The Fertility Show is having your chance to ask your questions on a variety of important fertility-related topics.
Over the two days, we’ll be hosting 36 live seminars with leading experts and ambassadors in the world of fertility with topics such as female and male fertility testing and diagnosis, egg and sperm donation, how to choose a fertility clinic, optimising IVF success and much, much more.
By attending The Fertility Show seminars, you will gain the most up-to-date information for your journey, whilst also having the chance to ask the fertility experts your important questions based on your own situation. There is nowhere else you would be able to meet and talk to these top experts from the field of fertility, all on the same day.
5) Support and Community
Finally, the need for support and community when having fertility difficulties is vital. Infertility is a mental health condition as well as a physical one. To feel isolated and alone is the worst possible headspace to be in when embarking on fertility treatment.
So, find your people. Those who understand what you are going through and who will be there to listen.
The Fertility Show at London’s Olympia is the place to find these people. Not only does every single fertility expert understand what you are going through and want to help, but we also have the best ambassadors in the world of fertility coming to give support.
Our “Let’s all Talk Fertility” Hub will be a warm friendly environment for you to sit, have a coffee and meet patients who have been where you are standing and want to offer their help and support. Plus the team behind The Fertility Show know what you’re going through, too. We have all been there, lived the pain and want to help. We are here for you.
