Limerick Fertility, one of Ireland’s leading fertility and IVF clinics, is to host a free information seminar on Friday, May 19th at 6pm. The event will be held at its clinic at Park Manor, Upper Mallow Street.

Limerick Fertility, one of Waterstone Clinic’s four centres nationwide, has seen a 66% increase in the number of couples in Limerick availing of fertility services.

A team of consultant gynaecologists, scientists, and fertility nurse specialists will talk at the seminar about maximising chances of conception and explain different treatment options available.

Dr Tim Dineen, Head of Laboratory Services, will focus on male fertility factors and talk on the latest scientific developments.

Dr Moya McMenamin, Consultant in Reproductive Medicine, will give an overview of diagnostic tests and treatment options. Speaking ahead of the free seminar, Dr McMenamin said: “We understand how intimidating it can be to seek fertility advice. Our hope is that through this informal fertility seminar, men and women will have better information and will feel more comfortable about taking the next step.

“Sometimes difficulties with conceiving can relate to something as simple as lifestyle, which can be addressed and resolved easily. Other couples may need IVF and we will explain the treatment options and processes, and answer any questions couples may have.”

Dr McMenamin added: “Treatments and techniques are continually improving and evolving, and these scientific innovations, combined with excellent medical and patient care, can result in successful and happy outcomes for people.”
