Hello everyone! My name is Julia. I'm new here. I just wanted to give a little introduction. I'm in my late thirties. I'm from Leeds. I was told that I'm infertile a decade ago. It was a heartbreaking moment. I'll try to save you the story of my struggle. Most of you can relate. You know how it goes. I'm actually hopeful now, though. I have my options open. I might go for IVF. I might check out IUIs. I also haven't exactly ruled out surrogacy!

Welcome to the forum... I haven’t been on this for long but already feel so much support and my sense of loneliness in this journey has changed... it’s an amazing place to share your thoughts and feelings that sometimes are hard to express in person ..

It’s nice to see your positive spin and sending you lots of hope x

Hi there. Hope you are doing well. I know you are going through a tough time. But don't worry. There are good solutions for it. IVF is a great process. You will surely get the benefit. But it will be more appropriate to discuss with an expert. You seem to be hopeful. It is the best thing. Everything will be fine keep us updated. Let's hope for the best. Wish you luck. God bless you.
