Are you trying to conceive? Are you feeling frustrated, angry, worried, sad? When all we want is to be become a mum, each month can feel like it lasts an eternity and each stage of our menstrual cycles can bring a multitude of emotions. Lay on top of that the unwanted and unasked for suggestions and advice offered by friends and family and you’ve got a cocktail of emotion and stress. Trying can feel a lonely place as we become more isolated from those around us in a bid to protect our broken hearts and dreams.
We are relaunching our Fertility Support Meet Ups. These are open to anyone trying for a baby, whether that be naturally, with interventions such as IVF, with surrogacy or adoption and open to those who are childless or whom already have one child and are struggling to conceive another. This is an informal gathering, in a private and confidential setting, when we can share our thoughts, feelings and experiences. It is a space to share with others who have insight and compassion and empathy. There will be no set agenda and as a drop in session, no necessity for a long term commitment.
If you would like to join us, we will meet on Saturday 18th July, 2026, between 10.30-11.30am at Heart in Headingley, Leeds. Do drop me a text or email so I can ensure our meeting fiancé can accommodate us all and I can give parking tips!
