Brave lady

Hi ladies-to raise awareness of infertility issues for national fertility awareness week this lady has recorded this clip.

More needs to be done to raise awareness but I for one find it so hard to talk about. In fact I’ve hardly told anyone and bottle it all up. It’s such a stigma and no-one understands unless they find themselves in this unfortunate club we’ve all become members of...

I definitely don't speak with people about it. Just can't stand the looks or lack of understanding. I can easily talk about the mechanics of the process but not the feelings and emotional impact. Xx

I’m with you there. If and hopefully when this works for me and I have my previous baby then I will happily tell anyone and everyone about the struggle but until then I just can’t cope with the pity, the not knowing what to say or saying something completely inappropriate. Congrats again on your bfp today. You must be on cloud 9.xx

My Brother told me about a clip about ivf on the BBC last night but I just missed it. Then he asks us tonight if we’d caught it? I sad no, what was it about and he said, and I quote “I don’t know. I didn’t watch it because it doesn’t effect me” I have to laugh at it!! 😂 if I didn’t I’d cry lol xx

Aw-it’s awful isn’t it! It’s true though-unless you’ve been through it people just don’t get it and don’t realise how all consuming it is.xx

Oh wow. He was obviously trying to show that he cares. But... x
