In plain terms
What you get
Twelve audio chapters, 8+ hours, in the order you will meet them: your body and your cycle, the tests and what they mean, the evidence on supplements and add-ons, NHS and private routes, IVF, and your rights at work.
Recorded by Dr Divpreet Sacha, UK GP, who has navigated PCOS, endometriosis and IVF herself. One payment of £39. Delivered as a private podcast feed you keep.
It is education, not medical advice, and it does not replace your GP or your clinic.
What is at stake
Before you commit thousands, hear a GP first
It will not replace a consultation. It makes the consultation you do pay for worth more, because you arrive knowing the system, the questions, and what the evidence says about the extras you will be offered.

Questions
Common questions
Who is The UK Fertility Navigation Framework for?
Anyone in the UK trying to make sense of fertility: trying to conceive, waiting on tests or a referral, reading results, comparing NHS and private routes, preparing for IVF, or managing treatment alongside work. It is education, not medical advice, and it does not replace your GP or your clinic.
How do I listen?
Through a private podcast feed (Hello Audio), in the podcast app already on your phone. Your link arrives by email straight after payment. No expiry.
Who made it?
Dr Divpreet Sacha, a UK GP (MBChB MRCGP DOccMed) who has been through PCOS, endometriosis and IVF herself.
Is it a subscription?
No. £39, one payment. There is no tier above it and nothing you need to buy afterwards. The IVF hour sold separately is already inside it.
Do I have to be doing IVF to benefit?
No. IVF is one chapter of twelve. Most of the programme is about understanding your body, the tests, the evidence on supplements and add-ons, and how the UK system works, which is where most people are when they find it.
Is IVF: Before You Begin included?
Yes. IVF: Before You Begin is chapter eleven of this programme, sold separately for people who only want the IVF hour. If you buy the full programme you do not need both.
Just need the IVF hour? IVF: Before You Begin, £14.99. It is chapter eleven of this programme, so you do not need both.
