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

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
