The 30th of October to 5th of November 2017 is National Fertility Awareness Week. Run by Fertility Network UK, this week aims to raise awareness, change perceptions and break the taboo of fertility issues. With 1 in 6 couples in the UK experiencing some form of fertility problem, this charity is key to providing much needed support to couples.

As many of you may know, myself and my husband are going through our own infertility journey. So far we have had 2 IVF cycles, one failure, one positive resulting in a miscarriage at 7 weeks in September. Despite our heartbreak, we felt it was our duty to try and do all we can to help this fantastic charity raise funds to continue to help couples exactly like us. The feelings of isolation and loneliness are very real and this charity is a beacon of hope for people looking to find some answers and just have someone to listen to them. I therefore signed up to become one of their #100fertilityfaces where the aim is to try and raise £100 for this amazing charity!

Any donation you can give is much appreciated and we are so thankful to you for taking the time to read our story.
