Looking for medics going through infertility

[Stillnotyet]

This forum has been a great source of emotional support, thank you all for sharing your stories.

I hope this is allowed, but I wonder if there are any medics in this group who would be happy to connect? I am a doctor with an interest in women's health, which is very useful at times to understand all the science, but also means I see a lot of pregnant patients and lots of mums with young children. Most of the time I can keep that professional barrier, but it still triggers those painful 'why not me?' thoughts...

If anyone is in a similar position, it would be great to share our experiences for mutual support. Please DM me.

Thank you.

hi, I’m a doctor as well with a specialty that definitely can challenge you going through infertility. Happy to connect if you want😊

Hi lovely, although I’m not a medic, I am in a very similar position to you as a healthcare professional specialised in Women’s and Children’s medicine. Happy to connect if you wanted to send me a DM 🙂

Not a medic but am a Community Nurse. I deal mainly with elderly patients but all my colleagues are female and either have kids or are having kids. I’ve been very open with them about the fertility struggles and they have all been very supportive.

Hi there, not a medic but I work as a research nurse. I find it is both helpful and not at the same time knowing what you will have to go through! Happy to connect as well!
