Discover Circle

An honest guide to fertility and IVF, written by someone who's been through it and reviewed by a specialist.

Understanding fertility and IVF, one step at a time.

Emma Lawson

IVF Patient & Founder

We tried to conceive for nearly four years, and went through three rounds of IVF, before our daughter arrived. Somewhere in the middle of all of it, the injections, the two-week waits, a failed cycle, the appointments where everyone used words I had to go home and look up, I realised how lost I felt despite all the information out there.

The clinical facts existed, but they were scattered and cold. What I couldn’t find was someone a step ahead explaining, honestly and in plain language, what the process is actually like, what the numbers really mean, and how to keep yourself together through it.

So I built Discover Circle, the resource I wish I’d had. I write from my own experience and from years of talking with others on the same road, and every article is medically reviewed by a consultant in reproductive medicine, so the facts stay accurate. I’m not a clinician; I’m someone who has been through it and wants the next person to feel less alone, better informed, and kinder to themselves.
