Anyone in Shropshire / West mids areas?

[hannahi]

Title says it all really! Just wanting to see if there's anyone that goes to any support groups in these areas that they'd recommend? Finding myself feeling quite lonely as even though those closest to me know what we're going through they just don't understand the emotional impact of it...& why would they? Could do with having ppl who understand to chat to...even if it's not really about fertility treatment, but just somewhere where I don't feel I have to pretend to be happy all the time 😕

As you know I'm relatively local and really understand how you feel. I feel like I want to get a little further with treatment before joining a group, although a little part of me does get lots of comfort and reassurance just in speaking to someone who knows how I feel. I'm happy if you want to privately message me you can have my number or Facebook so you can let off steam if you need to. I'm regularly back in Telford where much of my family is based. I hope you are ok, remember having a down day is all part and parcel of this experience and you'll come out stronger tomorrow. 😘 xxx

Thanks so much Sarah, that's really lovely of you and just what I needed to hear. I've emailed the lady who runs the support group that I mentioned in Shrewsbury/telford but not heard anything back so don't know if it still exists - will let you know if I hear anything. I'll PM you to get ur Facebook details & maybe create a group on Facebook for ppl in this area (not sure if you can create a group on here?) X

Hello, when I created the closed Shropshire group I created a page instead of a closed group. I have requested that the page be deleted but it takes 14 days. Please do join the new Shropshire closed facebook group - facebook.com/groups/1527091...

Sorry for any confusion. You can also email: [e-mail]

Am I ok to join this group - I live in Wolverhampton?

[HannahTramaseur Partner Fertility Network UK in reply to Shanks_21]

Yes please do - I can see on the map it's not too far away - meetings will take place in Shropshire but I think anyone who can attend the face to face groups should be able to join. Thanks, Hannah
