Issue #58 Winter 2020 the Magazine from Fertility
FREE ISSUE #58 WINTER 2020 AFFINITY THE MAGAZINE FROM FERTILITY NETWORK UK fertilitynetworkuk fertilitynetworkUK fertilitynetworkuk.org @fertilityNUK Hello and welcome to the Winter edition of Affinity, Fertility Network’s magazine. This issue coincides with the charity’s annual National Fertility Week, this year 2nd November – 5th November. The aims of the week are threefold: it’s about changing perceptions and raising awareness of fertility issues; it’s also about providing vital support and finally it’s about raising much needed funds to continue the charity’s work. #YouAreNotAlone is our core message. Here’s what we did during Fertility Week: Monday 2nd November #FertilityInequalities To kick-start this important week, we spotlighted inequalities to fair access to fertility treatment for all. We want to see fair and equitable access to NHS fertility treatment regardless of where you live, your race or your sexuality. We highlighted the unacceptable rationing of treatment throughout the UK, the difference in provision between each of the four nations and the postcode lottery in England. We also raised awareness of inequalities in access based on ethnicity and sexuality, of the differences in outcomes for some ethnic groups, and called for fairness for everyone who needs treatment. Tuesday 3rd November #MentalHealthMatters Infertility is not only about physical health, but can take a toll on mental health too. The impact of COVID-19 with clinic closures and reduced capacity on reopening has increased distress for many patients, making our #MentalHealthMatters day more important than ever. We shared testimonials from our community as well as tips from mental health experts about how best to look after yourself.

A Demographic and Sociological Analysis of Assisted Reproductive Technologies in the United States
A DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN THE UNITED STATES Katherine I. Tierney A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Sociology in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Kathleen Mullen Harris Yong Cai Lisa Pearce John Thorp Julia McQuilla © 2020 Katherine I. Tierney ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Katherine I. Tierney: A Demographic and Sociological Analysis of Assisted Reproductive Technologies in the United States (Under the direction of Kathleen Mullan Harris) Use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has increased rapidly in the United States and other countries amid continued fertility postponement and record low fertility rates. ARTs can enable people to overcome biological barriers to having children and may be the only option to have biological children for some. Given the current U.S. social and demographic context of increasing investments in education and career development by women and the associated postponement of marriage and first births as well as the increasing acceptance of same-sex and single-parent headed households, demand for and use of ART is likely to continue to increase. In the U.S., however, use and outcomes of ARTs are strongly patterned by race and socioeconomic status. The goal of this dissertation is to provide a demographic and sociological analysis of the racial inequalities observed in ART. Chapter 1 uses demographic projections and shows that ART will continue to play a small and racially and socioeconomically patterned role in total fertility if current trends continue.

Heidi Van Ranst (BE) Traditionally, ESHRE has always given its first Veljko Vlaisavljevic (SL) priority to education, but this year we have made even Ex-officio members extra efforts in this direction.

Fertility Health Summit
Fertility Health Summit: Choice not Chance: An overview of the meeting The Fertility Health Task Force (FHTF) is a group of senior professionals from health, education and government who want to improve young people’s knowledge of fertility and reproductive health in the UK. FHWP is led by Adam Balen, a consultant in reproductive medicine and Chair of the British Fertility Society. It is a special interest group of the British Fertility Society and was developed in partnership with the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (FSRH) and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG). A working party was convened in January 2016 and includes a number of key stakeholders who together agreed Terms of Reference together with Goals and Objectives (Appendix 1). The initial aim was to hold a Fertility Health Summit: Choice not Chance in order to raise awareness, bring all interested parties together and set the scene for improving Sex and Relationship Education for young people and to include key information about natural fertility and the factors that affect it. The Aim of the Summit was to bring together a broad range of fertility health specialists and lay people to: ‘inspire debate and action on how to improve young people’s knowledge of fertility and reproductive health’. The topic was addressed in a series of 13 lectures and question and answer sessions, followed by a Panel discussion. The meeting was notable for the high quality and inspirational nature of the presentations and the high level of audience participation. The vital issue of Fertility Health is sadly neglected in the UK.
