You’ve heard it before: “There’s an app for that!”
Well, now it seems there is an app for infertility too!
The LifeForce fertility app launched from the UK earlier this year in the UK. The first-of-its-kind application provides users with 24 hour access to fertility-related information directly on their iPhones, such as which fertility treatments to try and, if need be, the cheapest drugs to inquire with their doctors about to help conceive, by offering individually targeted fertility consultations with a UK clinician Dr Laurence Shaw, a leading consultant with over 30 years of reproductive medicine and surgery experience.
Through the application, Dr Shaw helps patients identify any fertility issues they may have and offers treatment options at the touch of the iPhone screen.
Such issues that Dr Shaw and the LifeForce fertility application address are tubal, ovulatory and sperm issues. Dr Shaw and the LifeForce fertility application discusses these issues prior to recommending IUI, IVF, as well as egg and sperm surrogacy. These discussions are delivered via video consultations for free through the iPhone and when you take into consideration how expensive a consultation appointment is at a local fertility doctor’s office, such as the Reproductive Care Center in Sandy, this app will more than pay for itself over time.
In addition to possible biological reasons, the LifeForce app also considers psychological factors that could be hampering a patient’s infertility. Renown UK counselor, Jules Williams, also has video’s on the iPhone in an effort to offer help to would-be parents who want to overcome any underlying mental blocks that they may have.

Our iPhone application video was featured in the article ‘Buy, buy, baby’ in The Sunday Times Online this Sunday.
Article from The Sunday Times
“We know it can be difficult to find that special someone…” reads the blurb on the American website Heart to Heart. They have hundreds of profiles on there — gorgeous, talented individuals who list their vital statistics, educational background, everything down to their favourite food and their favourite song. But these women aren’t looking for love. Despite the obvious similarities with online dating, they are part of another booming internet industry — matchmaking for would-be parents and egg donors.
With some clinics advertising success rates of 50% compared with only 21% for IVF (a figure that declines further for women over 35), more and more women are opting for egg donation, yet because the waiting lists for donors in the UK are between two and five years, many are seeking eggs abroad. A new study from the Economic & Social Research Council found that the most popular destination for these “fertility tourists” is Spain, where donor anonymity is allowed, and donors receive generous compensation (in the UK they cannot be paid and the limit on their expenses is £250).
