Why this exists

Navigating fertility treatment alone over 40 is harder than it needs to be.

The global fertility industry is worth $46 billion*. That shapes everything — which treatment you're offered, how urgently you're advised to start, and whether you're ever encouraged to get a second opinion. Going in without a framework doesn't just feel overwhelming. It costs women thousands.

For solo women over 40

The IVF preparation clinics don't give you.

Start fertility treatment already knowing what to do — before you step into a clinic, spend thousands, or make decisions you didn't know enough to question.

1

Preparing to Start

Organising your fertility tests, self-advocacy and understanding the business of fertility.

2

Creating Your Financial Plan

Don't blow your budget on one attempt.

3

Choosing the Right Clinic

Not just the closest. Clinics vary hugely in ethics, success rates and patient care.

4

Managing Consultations

Walk in prepared. Walk out with answers the doctor didn't volunteer.

5

Creating your constellation of care

Build the support team that means you never have to figure this out completely alone.

About Solo Fertility 40s

I started where you are. Overwhelmed, alone, and not sure who to trust.

At 43, I threw myself into IVF with no clear plan. I wasted evenings on Google, left consultations more confused than when I arrived, and had no idea what a treatment strategy was. Then I wasted €11,000 on an IVF cycle in Spain that I wasn't prepared for — at a clinic where I experienced a catalogue of mistakes and sub-standard care.

Solo Fertility 40s exists because the resource I needed at the start didn't. It's an independent voice with no clinic affiliations — from a woman who went through it, documented it honestly, and supports other solo women over 40.
