Fertility Treatment Costs and Quality at Thérapie Fertility

Welcome to episode 1 of Fertility Talks, the Thérapie Fertility podcast. Bringing you honest conversation about infertility, trying to conceive and accessing fertility treatment in Ireland and the UK.

Welcome back to Fertility Talks, where your host, Ranae Von Meding, bring you another insightful session, this time with our Medical Director, Dr. John Kennedy. Join us as we unpack the truth behind fertility treatment costs and quality at Thérapie Fertility. Dr. Kennedy shatters the common belief that lower prices signal inferior service, explaining how our clinic offers top-tier care without the hefty price tag. He emphasises our commitment to evidence-based treatments, even in the face of industry trends pushing for expensive, unproven tests. Plus, we delve into the empowering trend of social egg freezing and the importance of considering fertility preservation.
