Great response from work

[Hands2015]

I just wanted to share a good news story from someone who is still waiting to get that miracle line on the test

I had been feeling really low nearly depressed recently crying irritable moping about I could feel the despair sucking me in and when my husband pointed it out I realised I could not keep goingLike that with a heavy heavy stone weighing me down. I felt ashamed and like I was keeping a secret cos inside I was hurting ( and still am a bit) and felt I couldn't tell anyone

I decided to try and channel his negative energy into something positive and joined up here but all decided to try and raise the £100 for #100fertilityfaces to do this I decided to make 50 twiddle muffs ( sensory wool things given to people with dementia to help soothe them) as dementia is another issue close to my heart and ask people to sponsor me £2 to make one

I would honor them by stitching their initial into it donate the muff to the dementia team who work down the office from me and put the money to the fertility cause

Today I went into all the offices at work and told them what I was doing and I was overwhelmed by the response people started immeadeatly donating and they were interested about my fertility journey and started talking about their own or other people they know who have struggled I really felt like it went a long way in raising awareness and getting people taking about it

I just wanted to share and good luck to you all on your journey 😍

Well done you!! It's amazing when you can turn something so painful into a positive.

Last year I ran a huge bake off at work in aid of Tommys and called it The Bun In The Oven Bakeoff. It turned out to be a huge event, I had so much support off males as well as females and managed to raise over £6k which completely overwhelmed me (I work in a huge place!) but it just showed how many people are effected by fertility issues/miscarriages and stillbirths. It really made me feel so proud and gave me the much needed boost as had had my tubes removed 2 weeks before the event as was at an all time low.

So well done to you 👏👏xx

Well done you what a positive thing to do. Ivf is such a heart wrenching roller coaster of a journey it is so easy to get bogged down in negative emotions I know I have at times. How amazing of you to do something so positive. I have told some people at work myself because I have been struggling and the reaction has been hugely positive too wishing you all the luck in your journey xxx

Congratulation on working through your pain. AND then you're giving back to people who need someone to show they care.

Good on you. 👏🙌🎈

This actually brought a tear to my eye, so lovely. I work with service users with dementia and these little twiddle muffs sound fantastic.

So pleased lots of people donated as well as taking an interest in your fertility journey. Well done 👍 xxx
