It's nearly that time of year again... I've just been sent posters and flyers for The Fertility Show, which this year runs over the weekend of November 3 and 4 at London's Olympia. Promising to be a bigger event than ever before, there's an impressive range of speakers lined up covering pretty much everything you could want to know about fertility from the absolute basics to the latest new techniques in IVF. The seminars also take in many related issues including complementary therapies, surrogacy, treatment for single women and lesbian couples, the male perspective, adoption, fostering, treatment abroad and help and support too.
This year there are around 100 exhibitors too, giving you a chance to talk to staff from fertility clinics around the world as well as complementary therapists, legal firms and support networks. The Fertility Show gathers together leading experts in the field along with a wide range of specialists all under one roof for one weekend - and provides an ideal opportunity to learn more in a supportive environment.
I know it's not always easy to get your head around going to a "show" about fertility when it can be hard to talk about the subject to your closest friends and family, but one of the real benefits of the weekend is being in one place with so many other people who know exactly how you're feeling - although infertility affects one in six of the population, it doesn't always feel that way when you're in the middle of it all.
Take a look at the website - www.fertilityshow.co.uk- and see what you think. I'll be there on the Saturday, talking about how to choose a fertility clinic and chairing a question session with overseas clinics - so come along and say hello1
