Why we created Gynae & Me

Two NHS gynaecologists and close friends on why they started Gynae & Me: the honest, specialist guidance they give their own friends and family.

The advice we give our own friends and family. Now we give it to you.

Is this normal? Should I be worried? What do these results actually mean? Do I really need IVF?

Sound familiar?

We're Liz and Neera. Two Gynaecologists and Specialists in Reproductive Medicine, NHS colleagues, and great friends.

Over the years, we've answered more reproductive health questions over coffee, dinner and WhatsApp than we can count.

And we thought… why stop at friends and family?

Because let's face it. Reproductive health can be a minefield. Google has a million answers. Everyone has an opinion. And sometimes you just want someone with the expertise to help you make sense of it all.

So we created Gynae & Me.

A place to ask the questions you've been sitting on, make sense of your options, navigate NHS or private care and work out what comes next.

No treatments to sell. No hidden agenda. Just the conversations we wish everyone could have.

Two friends. Two specialists. One shared idea.
