The importance of not feeling alone.

[heather-moretolife]

Hi, I am Heather and currently new to my role in coordinating this MTL community. This peer to peer support community is so important as it is vital to know that you are not alone. You may have tried fertility treatment with no success, or considered other family building options but decided they weren't right for you. Maybe your partner doesn’t want to have children or perhaps you just didn’t find the right person to have a baby with. Whatever your circumstance, if you are no longer actively pursuing treatment or alternative options our More To Life community is a place where you can come to share peer to peer support. MTL aims to to help you enjoy your life without children.

Hi, I think I'm going to have to leave this site. Too many people moaning about ongoing fertility treatment. People who still have a chance of being parents. It hurts too much.

So sorry to hear this but we understand. I urge you to reconsider as we have just reposted (and pinned) an explanation of who this site is aimed at and try to make this clear. Please do access other support we offer at More to Life, if you think it may be useful to you and remember you are always welcome to rejoin our community at any time. Best wishes.

Hi, thanks for replying! I'll stay, thank-you, despite the insensitive people who clearly can't read! I need to try to focus on why I'm here in the first place: it's too early to tell if reading other peoples' stories will help, but I strongly suspect that not feeling so alone can only be a positive step, even if I still feel awful! Thanks Heather, much appreciated!

So glad you will stay.
