- [Donor Egg IVF: Abroad](https://thefertilitypsychologist.co.uk/uncategorized/donor-egg-ivf-is-an-increasingly-available-and-popular-option-for-family-building/): Donor Egg IVF is an increasingly available and popular option for family building (see HFEA trends reports). Whether it be the use of donated eggs, sperm or embryos, more people than ever before have the opportunity to create a family. I think this is a wonderful thing, bringing a much wanted and loved child into the world is joyful in my mind. However, as well as the joy and opportunities there are some challenges too. Therefore, I want you to feel aware of the reality of some parts of the industry, so you don’t have any surprises in the future. This […]
- [Internal Family Systems](https://thefertilitypsychologist.co.uk/blogs/internal-family-systems/): Hello, I am Joe, I work alongside Marie, The Fertility Psychologist and just happen to be her husband. The way we work therapeutically, sits well together. Marie’s work often focuses on processing the trauma you can access, feel and verbalise, whilst my work is great for helping you understand and heal the blocks that may be under the surface. When you know something is stuck, holding you back but cant quite understand what it is or why. To do this I use therapy and coaching with a model called Internal Family Systems. I can also use a more spiritual framework […]
- [Tolerating Uncertainty on your Fertility Journey](https://thefertilitypsychologist.co.uk/blogs/tolerating-uncertainty-on-your-fertility-journey/): How did you feel when you started fertility treatment? Sometimes people feel hopeful that this is the answer they need. For others it may be a time of frustration and anxiety. Either way, one of the things that many people struggle with is all of the uncertainty. The lack of control. The just not knowing. The process can be ambiguous, inconsistent, and unpredictable. Not knowing what the future holds is a normal part of life, yet it can lead to feelings of worry, fear, and vulnerability. When we are uncertain and anxious we have a tendency to overestimate threat and […]
- [Cope with Christmas on your Fertility Journey](https://thefertilitypsychologist.co.uk/blogs/christmas-fertility/): Coping with Christmas whilst trying to navigate a fertility journey can feel so tricky. It is never too early or too late to think about how you want to approach Christmas. I want to provide you with some tools and support to get you through it, not only in one piece but hopefully with some joy and relaxation too. For a whole bunch of ideas to help you Cope with Christmas, read my Ribbon Box article here. If you prefer to listen, you will find the link to an interview too.

- [Donor Conception: need to know resources](https://thefertilitypsychologist.co.uk/blogs/donor-conception-is-a-growing-area-of-fertility-treatment-giving-people-more-options-to-build-their-family-for-me-this-is-ultimately-a-good-thing/): Donor conception is a growing area of fertility treatment, giving people more options to build their family, for me this is ultimately a good thing. The HFEA tells us that more people than ever before are using donor eggs, donor sperm or donor embryos in their fertility treatment. Certainly in my clinics I spend a lot of time supporting people through the complex range of decisions to be made, such as having treatment in the UK vs abroad or using an anonymous vs a known donor or using a licensed clinic vs at home insemination. These questions often prompt a wide range […]
- [Free Fertility Support](https://thefertilitypsychologist.co.uk/blogs/free-fertility-support/): Are you wading through a fertility journey? Are you struggling with stress and anxiety? Are you feeling disconnected from your own life, body and relationships? If you are, then you are not alone. However accessing good quality and free support can feel difficult. My name is Dr Marie Prince and I am The Fertility Psychologist. It is part of my mission to ensure that everyone on a fertility journey gets really good quality support to manage their well-being and mental health. The reality is that for some people, a fertility journey ends up being a real financial burden. Therefore I […]
- [Coping with Father’s Day on your Fertility Journey](https://thefertilitypsychologist.co.uk/blogs/coping-with-fathers-day-on-your-fertility-journey/): Navigating any fertility journey can be daunting, with emotional, social, physical and financial pressures. However, these pressures can feel more acute as you approach significant dates such as Father’s Day. If this feels like a struggle for you then read on to build your own Essential Fertility Toolkit. What Feel’s Tricky? When feeling overwhelmed it is easy to fall into the trap of fearing everything, with the assumption that we will not cope well. However, if we step back we may notice there are some aspects that feel ok or tolerable for us and other’s that are really hard. Maybe the […]
- [Men's Mental Health Week: Fertility Focus](https://thefertilitypsychologist.co.uk/blogs/next-week-is-mens-mental-health-week-and-i-want-to-focus-on-fertility/): Hello, I’m Dr. Marie Prince, The Fertility Psychologist. June always marks Men’s Mental Health Week and of course, I want to focus on Fertility. I am delighted to see more men seeking therapy to navigate their often challenging fertility journey. I hope that this trend indicates a shift in how men approach their mental health, particularly in relation their fertility: an issue that has long been considered a female issue. Breaking the Silence around Men’s Fertility Discussions about fertility predominantly focus on women, often sidelining the significant emotional impact on men. Men face their own unique set of challenges when […]
- [Getting Ready for the Fertility Rollercoaster Ride](https://thefertilitypsychologist.co.uk/blogs/fertility-rollercoaster/): I love collaborating with TFP Fertility & IVF Babble to produce guides to help you navigate your fertility journey. A fertility journey is often described as a rollercoaster with so much to navigate, highs and lows and once you are on it, it is hard to get off. In this article I outline how to navigate the emotional changes that accompany a fertility journey and the medication side effects too. You will also hear from Dr Chantal Simonis, consultant gynaecologist and obstetrician at TFP Fertility who outlines the common side effects of IVF medication. This article will give you clear […]
- [The Power of Sleep on your Fertility Journey](https://thefertilitypsychologist.co.uk/blogs/the-power-of-sleep-on-your-fertility-journey/): Over recent months, lots of people have told me they are taking maca root to support their hormone balance, menstrual regularity and ovulation. It is not a supplement I know anything about so I plan to educate myself. However, I don’t yet have a clinical opinion on maca root, so I am not expressing a view on its efficacy in this blog. But, when I think about hormone balance and fertility, one of the first things I think of is the importance of sleep and our routines around sleep. Sleep & Fertility For me one of the key pillars of […]
- [Black Maternal Health Week 2025](https://thefertilitypsychologist.co.uk/blogs/black-maternal-mental-health-awareness-week-2024/): It has long been known that health outcomes for black women are significantly worse that for their white counterparts, for both physical and mental health. Just look at the recent Covid 19 pandemic. It had a disproportionate impact on black people. There were higher rates of infection and mortality compared to other communities. This extends to fertility treatment for black people too. Structural Racism The reasons underlying health inequalities are complex and go back for generations. However, it remains that if you are part of the Black community you are more likely to be impacted by socio-economic deprivation, have poorer […]
- [Why Journal on your Fertility Journey?](https://thefertilitypsychologist.co.uk/blogs/why-journal-on-your-fertility-journey/): Journaling on your fertility journey will help you manage stress and express emotion.
- [Coping with infertility on Mother’s Day - Approved mental health toolkit](https://thefertilitypsychologist.co.uk/blogs/infertility-on-mothers-day/): This article was originally published on the Ribbon Box Website. You can read it below or here and watch a video about Mother’s Day after miscarriage here. No matter where we are on our fertility journey, Mother’s Day can bring up some really difficult emotions. Not everyone around us will truly ‘get it’ – and it can feel like a lot to handle. Dr Prince and the teams at TFP Fertility UK, understand how real this struggle is, read on for practical and science backed support. Your Mother’s Day mental health toolkit Wondering how on earth you’re going to get through […]
- [Stress Awareness Month 2025: Fertility](https://thefertilitypsychologist.co.uk/blogs/stress-awareness-month-2024-trying-to-conceive/): April is Stress Awareness month. If you are on a fertility journey then you probably do not need to be made any more aware of stress. I would prefer it was called stress reduction month, it might make it more appealing. Will stress stop me getting pregnant? Trying to conceive (TTC) can be stressful and that is OK, you cannot get away from this. Yet it is one of the major concerns people bring to therapy: will stress stop me getting pregnant? My simple answer is NO. This is based on my 20 years of clinical experience and the current […]
