Dr Sascha Edelstein (Thrive Fertility): How to choose a fertility clinic

Meet Dr Sascha Edelstein, Thrive Fertility

Dr Edelstein is a renowned Fertility Specialist at Thrive Fertility, a new fertility clinic in Melbourne. At the Melbourne Fertility Expo, you’ll have the opportunity to meet Dr Edelstein and talk to him about your fertility journey. He will also be speaking on the topic: What really matters when choosing a fertility clinic.

Dr Edelstein, can you tell us about Thrive Fertility?

Thrive Fertility is a new clinic in Melbourne’s north, offering comprehensive and premium fertility care. At Thrive Fertility, we’ve invested in a state-of-the-art lab, but that’s only one piece of the puzzle. Just as important are personalised treatment plans, a team who treat people with compassion, and a transparent approach to costs and outcomes.

What is your mission and your approach to care?

Our mission at Thrive Fertility is simple: To combine science with humanity. The best technology means little if patients don’t feel supported or understood. Every person’s infertility journey is different, so we tailor treatment to the individual. At Thrive Fertility, we also put a huge emphasis on being transparent about treatment options, results, and costs, with the goal to enable our patients to make informed decisions with confidence.

Can you share your personal journey to parenthood?

My wife and I went through our own fertility challenges, so I know how tough and isolating infertility can feel. My infertility experience shaped my vision for Thrive Fertility: To provide a clinic where patients feel seen, supported, and empowered, not just processed. We built Thrive Fertility to provide premium care that encompasses holistic treatment while still being accessible.

Dr Edelstein, what’s one thing you wish more people understood about infertility?

One of the biggest misconceptions is that infertility is always a woman’s issue, when in fact male factors account for around a third of infertility cases. Another misconception is that IVF always works the first time. Unfortunately, the reality is more complex, and IVF outcomes depend on age, egg and sperm quality, and other health factors. Patients often blame themselves unnecessarily, when infertility is rarely anyone’s “fault.”

What are the top things you wish people knew before starting IVF?

IVF isn’t a one-size-fits-all. IVF success depends on many factors, and no two infertility journeys look the same. It’s important to know that results aren’t guaranteed, and it can take time and persistence. What makes the biggest difference is having the right pieces in place: A high-quality lab, a treatment plan tailored to you, a compassionate team to walk beside you, and a clinic that is transparent about results and costs. At Thrive Fertility, we pride ourselves on these fundamental components.

What are you most excited about at the Melbourne Fertility Expo?

I’m excited to connect with people, answer their questions, and hopefully make their fertility journey feel a little less daunting. It’s also a great chance to share what we’re building at Thrive Fertility and to be part of a wider conversation about how fertility care in Australia can keep improving. At Thrive Fertility, we’re here to make advanced fertility care accessible, transparent, and compassionate and we would love to walk your fertility journey with you.

At the Melbourne Fertility Expo, you’re speaking about ‘What really matters when choosing a fertility clinic’. Can you please give us a brief overview of your presentation?

Many people think IVF success is only about the doctor. The truth is, it’s a team effort and the lab is a critical part of that. Not all labs are equal. The technology, environment, and expertise of the embryology team can have a big impact on IVF success rates. Patients should be empowered to ask questions about their fertility clinic including proximity of the operating theatre to the lab, clean room conditions, access to time-lapse technology, AI optimisation, and radio-frequency identity traceability. These are just a few of the features that should be standard of care when choosing a fertility clinic. During my presentation, I’ll talk about these fundamentals and what each one means.

While the lab is important, premium care should also recognise the patient experience, providing individualised care, a supportive and compassionate team, and clinicians that are transparent about fertility treatment options, results and costs. My talk is about giving people the tools to look past the glossy marketing and focus on these fundamentals.

How can people get in touch with you?

CycleGuide: Your fertility treatment planning app

Introducing CycleGuide: Your fertility treatment planning app

Dr Caroline Fiddler is a Doctor and the Founder of the CycleGuide app. At The Melbourne Fertility Expo, you’ll have the opportunity to meet Dr Fiddler and talk to her about how CycleGuide can help you with your fertility treatment planning.

Can you tell us about CycleGuide?

CycleGuide is an innovative, simple and intuitive app to help you organise your fertility treatment instructions.

It’s purpose-built with a pre-cycle checklist to help you prepare for your Day 1 and your IVF cycle (e.g. appointments, ultrasounds, medication). There are several helpful features, including:
• A calendar and a ‘to do list’, so you know exactly what you need to do for each day of your cycle.
• Colour-coded tasks for easy identification and visibility on the calendar.
• Notifications, which can be especially helpful with medication timing.
• Editing function so tasks can easily be deleted or edited (e.g. the duration of medication can be modified).
• Free text. Medication names and directions are entered by you, so that you can enter instructions in a manner that makes sense to you.

CycleGuide is also available for fertility clinics. You can simply enter your fertility instructions from your clinic, or the clinic can send instructions directly to the app on your phone.

Why develop CycleGuide?

I was convinced there had to be a better way to organise my fertility treatment instructions in a more modern, simple and portable manner. I also thought there should be a more direct method for fertility nurses to communicate vital, and sometimes complex, fertility treatment instructions to their patients.

What is CycleGuide’s mission?

There are so many unknowns during IVF. We want to help reduce the anxiety of IVF and help you be organised. CycleGuide helps you take ownership of the aspects of IVF you can control, e.g. following your treatment instructions correctly.

I also want to help fertility staff. As I doctor, I have often been frustrated by the inflexibility and clunkiness of hospital systems. CycleGuide can be integrated into existing clinic systems without the need for new software or upgrades. Treatment instructions can be sent directly from the clinic software to the app on patient’s phones without nurses having to re-enter information. This gives nurses certainty that patients have received the correct information in a timely manner.

Our aim is also to reduce delayed, incorrect or missed injections that may cause a cycle to be cancelled, or modified, leaving guilt or uncertainty for the patient, especially if the cycle is unsuccessful.

Can you share your journey to parenthood?

I never met Mr Right, and I moved around a lot due to medical rotations which is why I didn’t think about children until later on. I saw a fertility specialist when I was 38 to discuss egg freezing but I couldn’t face fertility preservation. In retrospect, it wasn’t explained to me properly. At 40, I saw another fertility doctor and started egg freezing. I asked a friend to donate sperm, and he very kindly agreed.

I had a growing concern however that my doctor wasn’t really invested in my results and that we were just doing the same, or similar protocols, with little direction. I changed fertility doctors to one recommended by a fertility psychologist and I have continued to see this doctor in Victoria. After 2.5 years of IVF, I am now fortunate to be the mother of my daughter Alice who is 20 months old.

I am now going through the process of egg donation from overseas because I have exhausted all of my frozen eggs and embryos. The use of overseas eggs is banned in Victoria, unlike the rest of Australia where it is legal. As such, my IVF team is liaising with a clinic in Albury, NSW.

What are the top things you wish people knew before starting IVF?

I wish all young women, especially those with demanding university degrees and careers, would consider freezing their eggs or visit a fertility doctor to discuss their fertility options.

Also, I encourage you to get a second opinion if you feel your doctor doesn’t have a plan for both short and longer term. It can be hard to tell why things aren’t working or are taking many months/cycles/years to work.

Finally, it can be very difficult to keep hearing pregnancy and birth announcements. There seem to be baby reminders everywhere. I just kept telling myself that I had started the process and to hang in there. It can be very tough though and I encourage you to chat to your fertility clinic for support.

What are you most looking forward to at the Melbourne Fertility Expo?

I’m really looking forward to meeting anyone considering fertility treatment and explaining how CycleGuide can help you with your fertility treatment planning. I’m also excited about being surrounded by enthusiastic fertility professionals and meeting my fellow exhibitors.

As the founder of CycleGuide, can you give us an overview of your role?

My role was to come up with the idea and to have the courage to pursue the app. I then collaborated with Appetiser Apps project managers and designers to create CycleGuide – Your fertility treatment planning app

I recall spreading all my IVF medications, paper instructions from various egg collections and embryo transfers (from different clinics and doctors), over a large table with Appetiser apps staff Jarrod, Sharon and Tovah. We met regularly to discuss the best way to design a simple, clear and flexible app.

For example, one key decision was whether to add a pre-populated list of IVF medications, with a drop-down list to choose from. But my concern was that medications change their name and branding, doctors have different preferences, and medications vary between countries. I liked the idea that patients could add their medications by a name or description that resonated with them. We decided to make it free text and free of medical lingo. Typing in the information also reinforces your treatment instructions to help you follow them correctly.

Where can people learn more about CycleGuide: Your fertility treatment planning app?

You can visit my website CycleGuide or follow us on Instragram @cycleguide ivf app. We’re also on Facebook, Pinterest and LinkedIn.

To download the app, visit CycleGuide: IVF Treatment Mobile App | Appetiser or the Apple store. It’s available in Australia and New Zealand: 7-day free trial, AUD $8.99/month and NZD $9.99/month. For clinics, there’s bulk discounts for 3, 6 and 12-month subscriptions per patient. CycleGuide is currently in progress for the UK, and our aim is to expand globally.

What every woman considering solo motherhood wants her support network to know

When a woman starts considering solo motherhood, it’s one of the most courageous and confronting decisions she’ll ever make. It’s not a backup plan, and it’s definitely not giving up on love. It’s choosing not to let time, circumstance, or the absence of a partner stand in the way of becoming a mum.
But while this path is empowering, it’s also filled with emotions that can be hard to put into words, especially in the early stages. That’s where her support network comes in.
Whether you’re a friend, family member, or colleague, here’s what women on this journey wish you knew:

1. She’s not “giving up”.

One of the most common misconceptions is that women are “giving up on love.” Nothing could be further from the truth.
She’s choosing to honour her biological timeline, her emotional wellbeing, and her desire for motherhood, without waiting for the perfect partner, or perfect moment. Even better, she isn’t rushing into a relationship just to have children, which might end up in co-parenting if she doesn’t take the time to ensure she has found the right person for her.
She’s not giving up; she’s stepping up.
If you want to support her, recognise the strength it takes to make this decision. A simple “I’m proud of you for doing what feels right for you” goes a long way.

2. Don’t say “just have a one-night stand”

This is one of the most common and insulting comments women hear when they open up about considering solo motherhood. It might be said jokingly, but it dismisses everything thoughtful, ethical, and deeply personal about this decision.
Suggesting she “just have a one-night stand” implies she should deceive a man into conceiving a baby – something no woman on this path would ever do. It’s not only unethical, but if she knowingly conceives with a man, he is the child’s father and therefore financially liable and legally entitled to custody, regardless of her intentions.
If she doesn’t know who the man is, that creates lifelong consequences for the child, who would grow up never able to access half of their genetic history or medical background.
Choosing to conceive using a donor is an act of responsibility, transparency, and love – for herself and her child. It ensures her child’s right to know where they come from one day and protects everyone involved legally and emotionally.

3. The early stages are the hardest.

The early stages of solo motherhood can be the loneliest. She might be processing grief for the life she imagined, fear about doing it alone, or anxiety about what others will think.
Don’t push for updates or ask how treatment is going – that pressure can feel enormous. Instead, make it clear that you’re there, judgment-free, whenever she’s ready to talk.
Try saying: “You don’t have to share anything before you’re ready. I won’t ask for updates, just know I’m here whenever you want to chat or a distraction.”
That small act of understanding can make her feel safe enough to keep going.

4. Don’t try to fix it.

Most women considering solo motherhood have already spent months (if not years) researching, questioning, and soul-searching. They don’t need advice; they need support.
What she needs are small, tangible gestures:
Drop off dinner during a treatment cycle.
Offer to pick her up from her egg collection.
Ask if she wants company for a scan or appointment.
She’ll tell you what she needs if she feels safe enough to do so, and offering ways you can help her will make it easier for her to ask.

5. Everyone needs a village.

When you become a solo mum, there’s no default co-parent. That’s why finding a like-minded community is so important — other women who get it, without explanation.
The right support network can make all the difference, and it doesn’t have to come from family alone. Online and in-person communities, like the Solo Mum Society Facebook Group, or the Bump membership, provide connection, laughter, support and reassurance that she’s not the only one walking this path.
Encourage her to find her village. Because when she connects with other solo mums, she discovers a world where she finally feels safe to express how she’s feeling without having to explain or justify it.

The bottom line

Solo motherhood isn’t a plan B — it’s a bold, beautiful choice to create life on your own terms.
If someone in your life is walking this path, the best thing you can do is stand beside her, listen without judgment, and remind her she’s not alone.
And if she hasn’t yet found her village, send her to Solo Mum Society — where empowered women become mothers, and mothers become unstoppable.

Over 40 and Trying to Get Pregnant? Your 5 Step Plan Backed by Science

Have you been told your eggs are “too old”? That IVF is your only hope — and even then, your chances are super slim?

You’re not alone.

I’ve worked with so many women who’ve been given this same bleak outlook — and yet, they’ve gone on to create healthy pregnancies and beautiful babies well into their 40s. You can too.
Because here’s the truth:

Your eggs are NOT old.
In fact, they’re not even eggs yet! At this stage, they’re tiny primordial follicles, and it takes around 90 days for these follicles to mature into the eggs that may be released at ovulation.
This is great news — because during that 90-day window, you have the power to shape the environment in which your eggs are developing. You can directly influence their quality and their potential to become your future baby.

IVF will NOT improve your fertility.
That’s right.
I work with some absolutely amazing IVF specialists and I’m grateful for the technology — but let’s be clear: IVF doesn’t make your eggs healthier. It simply helps retrieve more of them. Whether those eggs are capable of becoming a baby still comes down to you — and the health of the egg and sperm you’re working with.

Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or through IVF, the journey to a healthy pregnancy starts long before you even see that positive test. And that journey starts today.

 The Critical 90 Days Before Conception

The 90 days before conception is your window of opportunity. During this time, the choices you make — around food, lifestyle, and supplementation — have the power to:

  •  Improve egg (and sperm!) quality
  •  Reduce your risk of miscarriage
  •  Increase your chances of a successful pregnancy
  •  Set the stage for your baby’s long-term health

And the best part?
There are evidence-based, practical, doable steps you can take starting today.
Let’s dive into 5 powerful things you can start doing right now to boost your fertility over 40.

  1. Boost Your Omega-3 Intake

Omega-3s are a game-changer for fertility over 40.

These essential fats help reduce inflammation, improve ovarian function, enhance egg quality and help reverse the impact of aging on egg health. Studies show that women with higher omega-3 levels have:

  •  Better blood flow to the ovaries
  •  Improved egg maturation
  •  Higher chances of conception
  •  Lower rates of miscarriage

And the improvements can happen quickly. Even short-term dietary changes can boost egg quality — yes, even if you’re already over 40

How to boost Omega-3s:

  • Eat 2–3 servings of fatty fish (like wild salmon or sardines) per week
  • Add flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and hemp seeds to your meals
  • Consider a high-quality fish oil supplement with 300–500mg EPA and 200–300mg DHA per 1000mg capsule
  • Daily dose: 1000–6000mg (check with your healthcare practitioner)

TIP: I cover this in detail in the Your Fertile Pantry Program — it’s one of the first steps I recommend for egg health over 40.

  1. Prioritise Quality Sleep

Sleep is your body’s time to repair, reset hormones, and protect your eggs.

Melatonin, your sleep hormone, also acts as a powerful antioxidant for egg cells — shielding them from the oxidative stress that accelerates with age. This is why Melatonin is also often prescribed as a supplement by Fertility Specialists to promote better outcomes.

Sleep deprivation disrupts reproductive hormones and can lower your chances of conception.

Your fertility sleep checklist:

  • Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep
  • Create a calming bedtime routine
  • Reduce screen time in the evenings
  • Consider melatonin supplements if advised (especially during IVF)

A well-rested body is a fertile body. Never underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep.

  1. Quit Smoking (and Support Him to Quit Too!)

If you smoke, I say this with all the love in the world: please stop.

Smoking accelerates the decline of egg quality and quantity, increases DNA damage, and raises your miscarriage risk (even if you stop if you fall pregnant!). For men, it damages sperm DNA, lowers count and motility, and increases abnormalities. In fact smoking has been shown to have as much impact on egg quality as 10 extra years!

But there’s good news:
Your body begins to repair the moment you quit. And sperm regenerates every 72–90 days, so your partner’s sperm quality can improve significantly in just a few months.

Need support to quit? Look into nicotine-free tools, behavioural therapy, and support groups — it’s worth it for you and your future baby.

  1. Support His Sperm Health

Let’s talk about your partner for a moment.

Did you know that the egg can actually “fix” issues within the sperm to help create a healthy embryo? But after 40, our eggs have less energy to do that. That’s why healthy sperm matters more than ever.
Yet you’ll be told sperm is “normal” even when 90–96% of those swimmers are abnormal!

What to do:

  • Request a copy of his semen analysis (and don’t just accept “it’s fine”)
  • Add antioxidants like zinc, selenium and CoQ10
  • Reduce heat exposure (no hot tubs or lycra cycling!)
  • Eat a clean, nutrient-dense diet
  • Minimise alcohol and stress

My Your Fertile Pantry Program goes deeper into ideal sperm ranges and what to look for.
Remember, it takes two to make a baby — and you both deserve to feel empowered.

  1. Fuel Your Fertility Through Food

Food is fuel for your fertility. It’s information for your cells.
The nutrients you put on your plate directly impact the DNA of your eggs and sperm. In fact, one study found that gene expression began to change within just 6 days of dietary changes.
Here are some fertility-friendly favourites to start with:

  •  Leafy greens (folate, antioxidants)
  •  Avocados (healthy fats, hormone balance)
  •  Berries (reduce oxidative stress)
  •  Eggs (choline and protein)
  •  Wild-caught salmon (omega-3)
  •  Seeds (minerals, fibre, omega-3s)
  •  Plenty of filtered or spring water (cellular hydration)

And of course — avoid the fertility-zappers:

  •  Trans fats
  •  Alcohol
  •  Highly processed foods
  •  Artificial sweeteners
  •  Soft drinks

 Want a Step-by-Step Fertility Plan?
If you’re over 40 and trying to conceive, you don’t have time to waste on guesswork.

That’s exactly why I created Your Fertile Pantry. A 6-week online program packed with the specific foods, supplements, and lifestyle tools you need to boost your fertility naturally — whether you’re trying naturally or through IVF.

 Final Thoughts
Your fertility story is not over at 40.

It’s just beginning a new chapter — one you can help write.
Take these next steps with intention, support, and the knowledge that you’re doing everything you can to create your healthy pregnancy… and your healthy baby.

With love and belief in your journey,
