General Support/Chat/Vent

[Sukhbir25]

Hi,

I am based in Berkshire and keen to chat and vent and gain some support from peers going through a similar journey like me and my wife who have struggled with fertility. We can't figure out the next step with over thinking it as such. While my work is supportive, I am leading a group around fertility and it is slow going to get participation and engagement. I am keen to be part of something that leads to better dialogue and feel like I am making an impact whilst also seeing if something can break our own personal deadlock.

Hi Sukh, great that you're keen to start a dialogue, I think it's really important to have support going through infertility. This forum in normally a great place to get opinions, others stories and info on different treatment/options that might be relevant to you.

Hello. Welcome. This is a good place to start for sure. Lots of support found on this forum and I generally find there's someone going through a similar journey to me or same stage of treatment which really helps and makes you feel less alone. Feel free to share more about your journey x

Welcome to the group, it's wonderful to hear you're speaking up at work and trying to help others. My husband and I had a long infertility journey, we have one son through IVF and are expecting a second baby later this year also through IVF. I also joined a group at work advocating for better support for employees going through this experience but progress has been slow and we have been really fortunate that my husband's new company offered a specific infertility benefit and have funded all our treatment this time around which is life-changing for us having had to privately fund 10s of 1000s of treatment for our first baby ourselves. This is a very knowledgeable and supportive group who I hope will give you help on your journey.
