Breaking Down the Barriers: A Closer Look at the Interview

As we navigate the complex journey of fertility, it’s clear that access to IVF treatments is not a level playing field. In my dialogue with Pink News, we shed light on the stark disparities that exist within IVF funding, especially for lesbian couples. Here, I’ve highlighted some thoughtful excerpts from the article:

“The fertility landscape is marred by inequities, with lesbian couples often shouldering a disproportionate financial burden. It’s essential to recognize and rectify these disparities to create an inclusive system that caters to all who yearn for parenthood.”

In the blog post, I delve deeper, discussing the often unspoken hurdles and providing practical advice for overcoming them.
