Cassandra's prophecy: education, education, education.

Abstract:

:This is a commentary on the personal account of Jane Everywoman. It reflects on her experiences and thoughts. The author adds context from her own work with the Progress Educational Trust, the Daisy Network Premature Menopause Support Group and the National Infertility Awareness Campaign. Examples of the mixed messages and the confusion surrounding fertility, infertility and the possible solutions which appear in the media have been included to further illustrate many of the issues raised by Jane. The updated NICE fertility guideline is discussed together with its implementation.
