Fertility Network Scotland can offer digital support via our WhatsApp Groups and Closed Groups on social media.
Our online fertility support groups also offer a chance to meet up online, chat and share experiences with others who are also trying 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. There is no pressure to share if you prefer not to.
The groups in Scotland are made up of staff as well as volunteers, everyone in the group understands the struggles in trying to conceive.
We also try and organise the groups by area, where there are enough members, so some of you will share the same services or stay in a similar location.
If you have any queries about how we can support you in Scotland, please don’t hesitate to contact Sarah Lindores-Williams, Scotland Branch Coordinator, on 07849712967 or email sarah@fertilitynetworkscotland.org
