This is filmed in Scotland. Will see how good it is!!xxx
Are you Scottish? X
I’m sure someone posted on this forum recently to say she’s on it?? X
Yes I am! Its filmed in one of the units where I had my NHS cycles. I've good and bad feelings about them!xx
Yes you're correct, mentioned about a week ago!xx
You’re in it are you?! X
No, not me!! Fair play, I wouldnt have had the guts to do that back then 4 years ago. I so would now....I'd love to let everyone all over the world know that IVF isnt the immediate cure. I appreciate our NHS cycles so much but it's very much a one size fits all!🤷🏼♀️😕xx
Well I’ll be reading your messages with a Scottish accent in my head from now on 😉 x
Ha ha ha so funny how we do that!😂 I'm exactly the same when I know where someone is from!xx
This partly explains why you’re so nice, friendly and helpful I believe! I’m from Reading then moved to Kent so have a normal boring southern accent 🤪
Awww thank you, you must have a good experience of the Scots! I think we pride ourselves on this! My husband is southern English ....you are just as kind!!😊😘xx
Hey, hope you are both well. I hope the show is realistic showing how hard and heartbreaking a cycle can be but also showing how much of a postcode lottery ivf on the nhs is as well. I always found it pretty crazy how where you live dictates the rules and number of cycles. This forum is amazing for bringing people together isn’t it, I’m going to throw another accent into the mix now as I am Welsh haha. My hubby is English but he is a northerner from Bradford 😁. Xx
Ahhh my mum, dad and sister have all moved to wales and I love visiting...again, the welsh are so friendly!!! And yes I hope they show the hardship of ivf too xxx
We're quite lucky in Scotland, everyone now gets 3 cycles (used to be 2) so long as you fit the criteria. It's so unfair in the rest of the UK!xx
Where I live it was 2 now 1 x

I went to reading years ago and was pleasantly surprised with the oracle shopping centre there and I have been to Dover and folkestone in Kent as well and Canterbury and we had kittens when we saw how much they wanted us to pay to go into Canterbury cathedral same as in Exeter and we had been like cheeky sods! Folkestone was a bar break where it was a free bar in the evenings and a day out in Canterbury which is a similar town to Lincoln.

I live in Canterbury and I love it x
I spent 4 years at university of Kent in Canterbury 😁 loved it! Xx
in reply to Scarlett13
It's a nice city is Canterbury from what I saw of it.
Ooh thanks for this Scarlett13. I've set to record now too 👍🏻😘
Ooh I’ll definitely record it, I just don’t know if I’m in the headspace to watch it right now. It’s maybe too close to the bone. @cinderella5 I’m Scottish too!! From Glasgow hence the name!!
Xx
I don’t think I have bbc Scotland?! 😟 how do you find it if you are down south?! xxx
What about the BBC iplayer for getting bbc scotland. I can get it through sky but I'm in scotland anyway.xx
I’m down south - it’s on bbc I player
I did look on iPlayer and didn’t see it, but will check again! 🤓
Hiya,did you find it?it doesn't seem to come up when I try and search xx
It comes up when I ask for it on Sky x
ok thanks will try that xx
In google I put bbc Scotland and the title, I hope this link will work after It’s been on on Tuesday 😊 Xx
It comes up when I ask for it on Sky x
Merci Scarlett !
Looking forward to watching it.
I agree, my nhs clinic keeps on mentioning stats instead of tailoring the treatment to my own body ( endometriosis)
My hospital has now stopped using burselin and is using mycrogenon instead! Didn't know that was possible! I'm worried...
Silly question may be but will this be showing in England too?
Have you got sky? I’ve set it to record, just did a search for it and it came up. Xx
I’ve found it on Sky
Ok beill. Ill try that too
I've got it set to record too! 👍 have you watched one shot on netflix? I havent yet, and wondered what to expect from it? Xx
Oh yes that’s really good but be prepared that you’ll be crying!!! X
Its really good but Scarlett is right, get those tissues at the ready!xx
Finally just watched this 😭 I was too scared of my emotions to watch for a while, but it’s amazing and uplifting and gives me hope 😊 might watch it again with my husband! Xx
I’ve set it to record too. I’ve got Alex Jones’ Fertility and me to watch too... I wait until I’m off work and watch on my own as my oh finds it too difficult. Next appointment on Wednesday, first at our new private clinic. No bleed so far in October and negative pregnancy test this month. X
Good luck with your new clinic xxx
Have you watched it ladies? I cried the whole way through. So brave of those couples to lay it bare like that, shows the reality of how bloody hard it is. Extra grateful for my gorgeous bump today ❤️x
Will be watching it this week at some point xxx
I watched it and it defo brought back all the emotions even tho my first ivf was in 2015... total 4 cycles..2 beautiful children for which I will forever be greatful to God for.....and now done with it all... it still makes you feel a certain way!!! Good luck to all the ladies on this journey. Your time will come!!!
