Wow! What a beautiful story about the scientific discovery of IVF ๐ฅน
Even more emotional after donating 30 eggs to @LondonEggBank this week, hoping they help someone find their own #Joy ๐ถ
Forever grateful for my own baby conceived using IVF techniques @LWCFertility ๐ซ๐
@emmacschneider @PreconceptionUK @PregnancyActive Thanks @emmacschneider! A lot of women choose to keep their fertility treatment journey private, making them difficult to reach! So thinking from a patient perspective enabled me to better understand where they might be willing to speak about it and/or look for information.
Had a great time presenting some key findings from my PhD research and highlighting the lack of physical activity advice and guidance available to women undergoing fertility treatment ๐ฌ
Excited to see our paper on tackling inequalities in preconception health and care now published @jdohad1
Findings and co-developed recommendations from our workshop at the 2023 UK Preconception EMCR Network Conference.

The science behind fertility treatment is something I will forever be grateful for! ๐ฌ
As a PhD student in this field, I've loved learning about many different experiences. It's clear the journey to conception is intense, and every step a deeply personal experience ๐ซ๐ #IVFDay
Women should not be made to overthink every decision regarding their physical activity behaviour during IVF cycle(s). This advice severely overlooks any potential psychological and physical consequences! ๐ซฃ
The Active Pregnancy Foundation (APF) recently released a pivotal report "MOMentum Lost: Unpicking Maternal Physical Activity Patterns in 2022," authored by Dr Marlize De Vivo, Dr Hayley Mills, & Dr Kathryn Hesketh. To read the report see our website here https://t.co/sjEorHamoB
Reflecting on the last couple of days and feeling super grateful for this award ๐คฉ @wiseconf@PregnancyActive
Thank you to everyone who spoke with me! So many insightful and raw conversations, provoked by our research findings, further support the need for more work in this area
Fabulous, well done for winning this award Stacey. Everyone was blown away by your research and itโs interesting findings @MScExerciseCCCU@SpExSci_CCCU
