As part of Fertility Awareness Week we are discussing-

Why are we taught so much about how NOT to get pregnant, but so little about how fertility actually works?

In this episode, Hannah is joined by Louise Johnson, founder of the Fertility Futures Project, to discuss why fertility education in the UK is falling short and why so many people reach their 30s and 40s without understanding some of the most basic facts about their fertility.

Louise founded the charity following her own seven-year experience of fertility treatment, including multiple rounds of IVF and two miscarriages. Her experience left her questioning why she hadn't been given the information she needed much earlier in life.

The charity's research, involving more than 5,000 people aged 16 and over, revealed a significant gap between how informed people think they are and what they actually know. Although 91% of adults said they felt informed about how pregnancy happens, the average score when tested on key fertility facts was just 2.8 out of 10.

Together, Hannah and Louise explore what this tells us about fertility education, the misconceptions surrounding IVF and egg freezing, the importance of male fertility awareness and why we need to start talking about fertility much earlier.
