Independent guidance for solo women over 40 — wherever you are in the world

You're doing the research. You're overwhelmed. That's exactly where I was.

I started IVF at 43 — two cycles, two countries, a lot of expensive lessons. The more I spoke to other solo women over 40, the more I recognised the same pitfalls. The same gaps. The same avoidable costly mistakes. I built Solo Fertility 40s to close that gap.

Why this exists

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

The global fertility industry is worth $46 billion (IMARC Group, 2024). Understanding that means understanding the commercial pressures that shape the advice you receive — and why going in informed is essential.

Get started

The 5-Step Get Started Roadmap

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

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 even 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 now aims to support other solo women over 40.

The 6-Week Programme

Walk into your first consultation knowing what to ask, what to look for, and what to say no to.

Most women arrive at their first fertility consultation with questions from Google and a vague sense of the costs. Six weeks later, women who have completed the programme walk in prepared — with a clinic shortlist, a financial strategy, and the questions their doctor won't think to answer unless asked.

Independent expert sessions: embryologist, fertility doctor, nutritionist, therapist
Completely independent — no clinic affiliations, no commercial arrangements

What women like you are saying.

"I wish I'd had this before my first consultation. I went in completely unprepared and left with a treatment plan I didn't fully understand and a bill I wasn't expecting."

— Emma, 43
