How should women be thinking about investing in their fertility? In this week’s episode of Raising the Curve, Soph sits down with Deirdre O'Neill O’Neill, co-founder of Hertility, for a candid conversation about what “investing in your fertility” actually means, medically and financially. We unpack: • Why testing one number (AMH) is not the full picture • The gap between “just freeze your eggs” and truly understanding your hormone profile • The rising cost of IVF and whether we are funding treatment instead of prevention • Egg freezing as a workplace benefit and the bigger question that sits underneath it • Biological clocks, career timelines and the pressure to “do it all” One stat that stopped us in our tracks: if every woman currently on a UK gynaecology waitlist stood shoulder to shoulder, it would span 191 miles. This episode is not about fear. It’s about autonomy. Because the scariest position to be in is not knowing your options. Whether you are actively thinking about children, unsure, or simply want a clearer picture of your health, this is a nuanced discussion about trade-offs, timing and why information is often the most powerful investment you can make. 🎧 Watch the trailer below and listen to the full episode: Listen on Spotify https://lnkd.in/dn4vX_J3 Listen on Apple https://lnkd.in/dmhMvgNX Watch on YouTube https://lnkd.in/dHsJkqCD
