When you are struggling with fertility, it can be really difficult to talk to family and friends about how you are feeling.
It is so hard to find the right words to help them understand what you are going through, physically and emotionally.
We also recognise, from talking to family and friends of people struggling with fertility, that they too find it tough to know what to say.
So let us start the conversation for you!!
Invite your loved ones to join us on Saturday November 7th at 10am for an online fertility education event.
We will be joined by fertility health care professionals to help your family & friends understand more about what you go through during fertility investigations and an IVF cycle. We will explain how you may physically feel during a round of IVF - bloated, tired, headaches; as well as provide an understanding of the egg collection and embryo transfer process.
We will also talk about the emotional impact of fertility. We will explain the roller-coaster of emotions, how social gatherings can be so tough and how the sight of a pregnant woman can impact your mood in an instant, de-railing your emotions for the rest of the day!
We will also chat around what not to say, and how best to support you.
We really hope that this event will help you to start crucial conversations with your loved ones, because talking to people you trust really can support you through this difficult journey.
To register, please email emma.rees@fertilitynetworkuk.org with your full name and location by Thursday 5th November.
