The F Chat
Nobody talks about fertility. Until they have to.
Fertility affects more Australians than ever, yet many of us reach adulthood without understanding the basics of reproductive health, fertility timelines or when to seek support. New research [1], commissioned by TasIVF, reveals 81% of Aussies feel the pressure of their biological clock, but only 33% have spoken to their partner about fertility.
The F Chat is a video series bringing together fertility specialists and everyday Australians for honest conversations about fertility, reproductive health and the questions many people are thinking about but not always asking.
From understanding what's normal and recognising early signs of reproductive health conditions, to navigating fertility timelines, emotions and modern family building, these are the conversations we should be having sooner.
Watch the episodes, explore expert insights and start The F Chat.
Because the best time to have the conversation is before you need it.

The F Gap
We've all had sex ed. So why do so many of us still feel uninformed about fertility? Join fertility specialists Dr Yousif Alyousif and Dr Kokum Jayasinghe alongside Klarissa and Jess as they unpack the gaps between what we're taught, what we assume and what we wish we'd known earlier.
F is for everyone
Who gets left out of fertility conversations? Fertility specialist Dr Daniel Lantsberg joins Andrew, who shares his experience with IVF, and Nina, who reflects on her recent PMOS diagnosis, for a conversation about the people, experiences and perspectives too often missing from the fertility discussion.
What do symptoms mean for F?
That symptom you've been ignoring? It might be worth another look. Join fertility specialist Dr Marina Demyanenko, Madalaene and Courtney, two female Melbournians who share their own fertility experiences as we unpack the signs, symptoms and questions many of us have about reproductive health.
Own your F Timeline
What if the timeline you imagined isn't the one life had planned? Hear from fertility specialist Dr Violet Kieu, Erin and Courtney who share their experience with navigating their own fertility journeys as we explore how timing, expectations and what the future means for your fertility.
