Fertility Network Scotland offers face to face support as well as digital support via our WhatsApp Groups and Closed Groups on social media.
Our online fertility support groups offer a chance to chat and share experiences with others who are also struggling to conceive. It is a space to share your journey and listen to others’ experiences and provide mutual peer support and an opportunity to learn from others. You can participate as much, or as little, as you wish.
The groups in Scotland are made up of staff as well as volunteers, everyone in the group understands the struggles in trying to conceive.
WALK AND TALK GROUPS
Our new Walk and Talks in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee are an ideal way to connect face-to-face with others on a fertility journey to find companionship and support, whilst getting out in nature. These are accompanied by a Fertility Network volunteer and always close to a coffee shop for shelter and a cuppa.
For details of the next Walk and Talk or for information on available online support groups, and how to join, please email scotland@fertilitynetworkuk.org
