In this powerful episode of Workplace Benefits Unwrapped, Charlotte Gentry shares her lived experience of navigating fertility over 40, including IVF treatment, emotional resilience, and the realities of trying to conceive in later reproductive years.

We explore the emotional impact of fertility treatment, the pressure of repeated IVF cycles, decision-making around timing and age, and the mental health challenges that often sit behind the statistics. Charlotte also reflects on why fertility conversations at work matter, and how silence can intensify feelings of isolation during treatment.

This episode reframes fertility over 40 as both a personal and workplace issue, highlighting why employers need to better understand reproductive health journeys in order to support retention, well being, and employee experience.

Whether you’re an HR leader, manager, or someone navigating fertility decisions yourself, this episode offers honest insight into the lived reality behind fertility treatment and reproductive health at work.
