Dr Divpreet Sacha

As a GP, I've sat across from patients who were exhausted, overwhelmed, and trying to hold down a job while their body was going through something the system barely acknowledges.

And as someone who has lived it, I know how invisible that feels.

I self-diagnosed my own PCOS. I pushed for investigations and discovered I had silent endometriosis.

I went through IVF: moderate OHSS, a failed cycle, and the kind of emotional and mental toll that eventually meant I had to go off sick.

And then, finally, a successful frozen embryo transfer.

As a South Asian woman going through this, I understand that navigating this system can carry a particular kind of weight.

I'm a UK GP with over 10 years of clinical experience and a diploma in occupational medicine.

That means I'm trained in exactly the intersection this platform lives in: health, work, and functional capacity.

More than half of people who see a GP before fertility treatment leave that appointment unsatisfied.

I know. I have been that patient, and I have been that GP.

This platform exists because I couldn't find anything that bridged those gaps. It is the thing I wish had existed when I needed it.

I told this story in full, including what I believe employers should change, in HeyFlow's Unspoken series.
