IVF fairy

[Smithfield23]

hi warriors, I know not everyone is like this, but I haven’t told any of my friends about our ivf journey as they all have children and I just think no one truly knows what we go through in this process, unless they’ve walked this path too.

I recently listened to an old episode of Emma Barnett on the happy place podcast. She said so many things that were relatable - how “hope gets you back in the casino” each round - boy how true is that?? But she mentioned having an ivf fairy; someone who can walk alongside you and pick you back up with each hurdle.

With this in mind, I thought I’d put it out there - any south Manchester women interested in being each other’s fairies? Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday. Xx

I think it’s a wonderful idea 😊 I’m not in Manchester, but if i was id jump at the chance of having/being an IVF fairy ☺️

I’m also not in Manchester but think this is a lovely idea. It’s such a lonely experience and you need people who get it and get you! X

I’m from Greater Manchester originally but live down South now. Always looking for support and keen to give to others. Take care, it’s not an easy journey this xx

I picked up a few IVF fairies on here, ladies that I clicked with and kept in touch on WhatsApp as didn't have anyone in my area. It's a great way to support and get support going through cycles and general life challenges when you're in between treatments. We have kept in touch since too. Good luck.xxx
