Ever wondered what really makes the difference in fertility treatment success? Lucy Lines pulls back the curtain on the fertility industry with unparalleled insider knowledge from her 25 years as a clinical embryologist and fertility educator.
The conversation shatters common misconceptions, particularly the myth of "the best" fertility specialist. Lucy explains why personal connection with your doctor, laboratory quality, clinic accessibility, and staff responsiveness collectively impact your fertility outcomes more than a specialist's reputation alone. Her apple cake analogy brilliantly illustrates how the fertility process relies on multiple factors working in harmony—from the quality of your eggs and sperm to the skill of laboratory scientists handling your precious embryos.
Lucy helps to fill critical knowledge gaps, empowering individuals to understand their bodies, ask informed questions, and advocate for themselves throughout treatment.

Lucy Lines Bio:
Over Lucy’s first 17 years in the fertility ‘industry’ (12 of those as a clinical embryologist and global customer support embryologist and 5 in GP education) Lucy became increasingly frustrated over the ‘business’ aspect that was creeping in to much of the decision making within large IVF companies and the huge gaps that was creating for patients accessing those services. Making patients feel like a ‘number’ on a conveyer belt of fertility treatment. After a redundancy rather late in a rainbow pregnancy, (at 44 years old) she saw an opportunity to fill those gaps - with education, care, support, guidance and space for women and couples experiencing difficulties with their fertility - totally independent of the big businesses! As a fully qualified and experienced embryologist, Lucy now offers her services through Two Lines Fertility - with her website, blog, courses and, of course, her 1:1 support, Lucy now helps women and couples feel empowered, and more importantly EDUCATED and in control of their fertility, whether they are right at the beginning of considering growing their families, or in the depths of IVF treatment.
