Do you have fertility anxiety? Do you worry you may not be able to conceive naturally?

The NHS says 1 in 7 couples may have difficulty conceiving but that 84% of couples will conceive naturally within a year if they have regular unprotected sex.

However, journalist Sophie Gallagher says that the feeling among her and her friends is that it won’t be easy for them to conceive, despite having no known health issues.

Sophie joined us on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour alongside Dr Ellie Cannon, an NHS GP and author, to discuss why so many are experiencing fertility anxiety, and the impact that social media and the fertility industry can have on us.

Sophie and Ellie also shared their advice for those worrying about this. You can listen to the full discussion on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds – it’s the Woman’s Hour episode from 9 August.
