As a women's health nutritionist, I am deeply invested in empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their reproductive health.Â
Today, I thought I would discuss the intricacies of NHS-funded IVF eligibility and introduce a valuable tool, Fertility Mapper's NHS IVF Eligibility Calculator, that simplifies this often daunting process.
Just for transparency, I have no affiliation. I just thought it can be a very useful and relative tool to my clients, the many people that follow my social media channels and blog.
Understanding NHS IVF Eligibility Criteria
Accessing NHS-funded IVF or IUI treatment is not a straightforward path; it's a multifaceted process influenced by various factors. Clinical considerations such as age, underlying medical conditions, and fertility history play a pivotal role in determining eligibility. Lifestyle factors like smoking history and body mass index (BMI) also come into play, highlighting the interconnectedness of health and fertility. In addition to this, individuals must navigate questions about their fertility journey to date and family history, factors that can further shape eligibility criteria.
The Role of Nutrition in Fertility and Women's Health
Nutrition can support overall health and fertility optimisation. By addressing nutritional factors alongside fertility treatments, individuals can enhance their chances of success. A balanced mediterranean style diet rich in nutrients essential for reproductive health; such as nutrients like folate, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, can support hormone balance, egg quality, and overall fertility. Check out other blogs I have written to find out more on this.
Although nutrition is important, it is just one piece of the puzzle and important that we recognise this.
