Agora open day & LGBT Mummies speaking
So today @lgbt_mummies & our besties @twodads.u.k @officialmysurrogacyjourney were invited to come to the amazing @agorafertility Clinic in Brighton to visit their new building, meet those looking to start their fertility journey & talk about our own journeys, things to consider & what LGBTQ+ TTC may consist of.
.
It was a day of different topics with lots of people attending looking to start their journey
.
BUT…. I was sneaky!
I went on a little tour of their new building &-WOW
.
They have thought of EVERYTHING.
Just a few amazing things I saw today;
.
They have beautiful embryo paintings in their reception waiting area
LGBTQ+ staff-nothing better than seeing yourself reflected in the staff, who understand your needs!
Every floor was a different colour for the different parts of your journey with inclusive signs
Bright, airy it was an inspiring & positive space
Staff are personable, passionate & know all their patients well & have LGBTQ+ competency training
Clear representation for the LGBTQ+ community in their posters, banners & spaces to make our community feel safe & realize it’s a inclusive space to enter
All the rooms are named after different fertility Gods, stones or themes etc
They even had Trans/Non Binary named rooms, including safe spaces for those to provide gamete/sperm samples comfortably
Their state of the art lab opens so that as you’re about to have a transfer, you can see them preparing it!
Calm rest rooms before & after your treatment
Main circular light above the stairs changes to the Pride flag colours!
The “Ice Suite” for where sperm & eggs are kept has windows built in to see inside where yours are kept ready & waiting-tall enough for your family to see too!
.
They have thought of everything down to the last detail to ensure our community feel it’s a calming, safe & inclusive space to start their family & the passion of their staff shines through
