This week is #FertilityWeek & today is #MentalMatters day. Here are some nuggets I've received from anonymous responses to my questionnaire about the emotional experience of infertility, to the Q 'What advice would you give to anyone suffering infertility?'

#YouAreNotAlone
"Find people you confide in. Look for fertility support groups - local or online. There are more people out there going through this than you think. You don’t need to go through it alone."

"Don't judge yourself. There is no shame in taking care of your mental health. I had an assessment with a mental health team for depression and this opened the doors to a lot of help."

"Access all the help out there and work out what is useful for you: counselling, groups, psychiatry, antidepressants, fitness, hobbies, standing on a mountain top & screaming at everything: try them and see. Some will help."

"Whatever you are feeling... it's normal. The good, the bad, and the ugly. It's normal. Talking to people is critical: the more you share, the more you will find others who've experienced the same thing"
