\u2018Fertility Circle\u2019 Offers Confidential, Judgement-Free Guidance to Individuals and Couples<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bengaluru:<\/strong>\u00a0In a pioneering move to address the emotional and psychological challenges surrounding fertility struggles, Birla Fertility & IVF has launched\u00a0Fertility Circle<\/em>\u2014India\u2019s first toll-free, confidential helpline for individuals and couples seeking guidance on reproductive health. Accessible at\u00a01800 123 1515<\/strong>, the service operates weekdays from\u00a09 AM to 6 PM<\/strong>\u00a0in English and Hindi, with plans to expand to regional languages soon.<\/p>\n

Fertility challenges remain shrouded in stigma, often leaving those affected feeling isolated and hesitant to seek help. An internal study by Birla Fertility & IVF revealed that\u00a0over 90% of individuals facing infertility experience emotional exhaustion<\/strong>, yet only\u00a029% seek timely professional support<\/strong>. Many delay consultations for\u00a0more than two years<\/strong>, deterred by societal taboos, confusion, or simply not knowing where to begin.<\/p>\n

Fertility Circle<\/em>\u00a0aims to break these barriers by offering\u00a0free, unbiased, and confidential counselling<\/strong>\u00a0from trained experts. Whether individuals are planning for parenthood, struggling to conceive, or simply exploring fertility-related questions, the service provides a\u00a0safe, stigma-free space<\/strong>\u00a0to seek clarity.<\/p>\n

The Silent Struggle: Emotional Toll of Infertility<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Global research highlights the profound psychological impact of infertility, with\u00a0one in three individuals<\/strong>\u00a0reporting elevated stress, anxiety, or depression. In India, those undergoing fertility treatments are\u00a0six to seven times more likely<\/strong>\u00a0to experience high stress compared to those conceiving naturally. The burden extends beyond emotional strain\u2014more than 50%<\/strong>\u00a0report a decline in quality of life, while\u00a038%<\/strong>\u00a0have considered quitting their jobs due to the demands of treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe launched\u00a0Fertility Circle<\/em>\u00a0to make it easier for people to start the conversation\u2014without fear, without pressure, and without cost<\/strong>,\u201d said\u00a0Abhishek Aggrawal, CEO, Birla Fertility & IVF<\/strong>. \u201cWhether someone needs answers, reassurance, or just a listening ear, this service ensures they don\u2019t have to navigate these challenges alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
