Fertility is a challenging industry

The Evewell is led by some of the UK’s most respected fertility consultants and offers a genuinely best-in-class patient experience. But when I joined, they were the newest clinic in a competitive Harley Street market, where reputation, trust and word-of-mouth matter most.

We needed to build the brand, drive consultations and turn the website into a credible first port-of-call for women and couples making one of the most important decisions of their lives.

What I did

Built and led the marketing strategy from scratch
Took the Instagram channel from zero to a thriving community with consistent monthly follower growth and high engagement
Developed a content strategy designed for SEO, lead generation and patient education
Managed the CRM and patient journey, with a focus on enquiry-to-consultation conversion
Briefed and managed PPC, SEO and PR agencies
Oversaw website redesigns, brand campaigns and patient communications
Balanced the commercial pressure of the clinic with the empathy this audience needs

Why it works

The trying-to-conceive (TTC) audience is one of the most insular and emotionally bruised online. You can’t sell to them. You have to show up, listen, and earn the right to be considered.

That meant building a marketing approach grounded in trust, empathy and authority, a balance that is rare in fertility marketing and that has driven real, measurable commercial growth for the clinic.

The results speak for themselves. The Evewell is now amongst the top 3 fertility clinics in the UK.

The most important part of your IVF cycle happens in a room you'll probably never see.⁠
⁠
While you're going to bed after egg collection, your eggs are being assessed, fertilised, and watched over by people you've never met. While you're at work in the days that follow, your embryos are growing under the daily care of embryologists, making meticulous decisions about their development.⁠
⁠
They're trained scientists. They're some of the most important people in fertility medicine. And they get a fraction of the recognition clinicians do.⁠

"Will doing IVF mess with my hormones forever?"⁠
⁠
It's one of the most common questions we hear in consultation, and one of the most under-discussed online. The fear that fertility treatment is doing something lasting and invisible to your endocrine system is real, and worth a proper answer.⁠
⁠
The short version: No, IVF doesn't cause long-term hormonal disruption. ⁠
⁠
The longer version, the data, what stims actually do, and what can affect your long-term hormones (it's not IVF), is in the full piece, linked in our bio.⁠
⁠
If you've ever worried about this, you're not alone. ⁠

IVF and egg freezing don't look the same for everyone, and not every cycle reaches every stage. We spoke with Mr George Bakolas at The Evewell West London about how he supports patients through the uncertainty that can come with treatment.⁠
⁠
This is what George shared about setting expectations, learning from each step of the journey, and guiding patients with clarity and reassurance from the first consultation through to their ultimate goal.

The unsolicited advice award goes to: “just relax and it’ll happen.”

A close runner-up: “have you tried not thinking about it?”, closely followed by “why don’t you just adopt?”

Infertility is a medical condition. Relaxation doesn’t cure blocked tubes, low AMH, sperm DNA fragmentation, endometriosis, or PCOS. And telling someone in the middle of treatment to “just relax” is the conversational equivalent of telling someone with a broken leg to walk it off.

Tell us in the comments; what’s the worst piece of “just relax” advice you’ve received? 🙋‍♀️

The pineapple core won’t help. Neither will the McDonalds fries.

(Or maybe they will. We have no idea, because we don’t know your bloods, your cycle, or your history.)

The internet treats fertility like a recipe, same ingredients, same outcome. Bodies don’t work like that. What gave your friend her baby might do nothing for you. What worked in someone’s success story might be the thing working against you.

We’re not saying don’t read the forums. We’re saying don’t take advice from people who’ve never seen your bloods.

Sperm regenerates every ~74 days. Which means three months of intentional eating can meaningfully change the quality of what’s in the sample on the day. We see it every single day in the lab; sperm where the men have made the effort and sperm where they clearly haven’t

Alcohol, smoking, vaping and recreational drugs out. Whole foods in. Ultra-processed out. Choose nuts, oily fish, leafy greens, every single time. 🥑🥕🥦🥜🍏🥩🫐🫑🥬🐟

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about giving the next cycle the best possible raw material.

Male fertility is half the equation and gets a fraction of the airtime.

Five myths we keep meeting in clinic, and what’s actually true. Send this to anyone who has shrugged off the suggestion of a deeper test.

"I never planned to become a solo mother. Now I am one, at 45."⁠
⁠
When Sarah began exploring motherhood on her own in her 40s, she found very little guidance that reflected her reality. Fertility information was often geared towards couples or younger women, leaving her feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start.⁠
⁠
Today, as the founder of @solofertility40s, she's helping other women navigate the practical and emotional aspects of solo motherhood later in life with greater confidence and clarity.⁠
⁠
In our latest guest article, Sarah shares her personal journey to becoming a solo mum at 45, the lessons she learned along the way, and why she's passionate about supporting other women considering this path.⁠

Understanding your fertility earlier can change the choices available to you later. We spoke with Dr Raj Jaspal at The Evewell West London about what every woman should know.⁠
⁠
This is what Raj shared, shaped by both her medical expertise and her own IVF journey, about fertility awareness, age, and the options that can help protect future choices.

The mental gymnastics of trying to conceive deserve their own Olympics.

- “I won’t book that holiday because I’ll be pregnant by then.”
- “If we start in January, we’ll have a baby by Christmas.”
- “I’ll book the flights but get the refundable ones, just in case.”
- “I can’t say yes to being her bridesmaid, I’ll be 8 months pregnant.”

Every single one of us has done the maths. And one thing you realise when you start TTC is that the maths never maths.

Drop a 🙋‍♀️ if you’ve done this exact calculation (because we have…)

Every twinge after embryo transfer feels like a sign.

Cramping? Sore boobs? A bit of spotting? You’ll Google it. We all Google it. The two-week wait turns most of us into amateur diagnosticians, parsing every symptom for meaning.

Here’s the cruel bit: progesterone, the hormone you’re taking to support the transfer, mimics almost every early pregnancy symptom. Which is why we wrote a full guide to what’s actually normal after transfer, what’s worth calling the clinic about, and how to survive the in-between.

Full guide in our bio.

Tell us in the comments; what was the symptom you Googled most?

The embryo transfer itself is, surprisingly, one of the least dramatic moments of an IVF cycle.

It’s a 30-minute procedure with no anaesthetic, similar setup to a smear, and you walk out of the room the same day. The big stuff has already happened: the stims, the trigger, the egg collection, the embryology lab quietly growing your embryos for days.

Here’s what to actually expect on the day - featuring photos from my own transfer at The Evewell back in April 2021 (hence the facemasks! not necessary any more, thankfully…)

Save it if you’ve got a transfer coming up, or send it to someone who does.
