2021 Out Leadership Summit
The desire to have children is independent of sex, sexuality or gender identity and there are many different paths to parenthood. Yet there remain many barriers for LGBTI+ people at work.
This Thursday, 4 November, City Fertility and Rainbow Fertility partners with Out Leadership for a conversation at the Out Leadership 7th Australian Summit to explore real changes businesses can make to support LGBTI+ employees and their families.
Why is the menstrual cycle so important to fertility?
Essentially, the human menstrual cycle is a pattern of changes that occur within the ovary and uterus for the purposes of reproduction. These changes involve a complex interaction of hormones that allow for follicles to mature and eggs to be released (ovulation) before hormones are produced to nourish an embryo should fertilisation have occurred. If fertilisation hasn’t occurred, the uterine lining is shed through menstruation.

Dr Dean Conrad, obstetrician, gynaecologist and specialist with City Fertility said he usually only sees patients after they have had two or three miscarriages and are often very anxious by this stage.
