Silent Symptoms: Navigating IVF + Miscarriages
Welcome to our new webinar series from Nexus on silent symptoms where we discuss conditions, experiences and health battles that women go through which you can't see and / or we don't speak about openly enough with the goal of creating a community, support and education on these crucial issues to women, in turn making them not so silent!
This webinar will be led by Dr Frances who is a Obstetrics and Gynaecology registrar, PhD fellow and about to start her egg freezing journey.
The panelists have all experienced miscarriages or been through IVF whilst also navigating career and business goals or objectives
We'll discuss
Suggest solutions for employers on how to support women (and men) around all aspects of fertility
For example should employment contracts have a HR clause offer protection and parental leave for IVF treatments and miscarriage.
To educate employers on the physical and mental toll of miscarriage and fertility treatments
To challenge stigma - the assumption that women don’t want to talk about ‘private matters’ in the workplace
