Personal stories are often the best way to highlight the impact which fertility problems have on the 3.5 million people who experience difficulties conceiving. Single women, as well as same sex couples, often face different but equally difficult issues when trying to conceive. For those who are not successful in having their family, facing the challenges of childlessness is often vastly misunderstood. Sharing your story can help bring better understanding of the physical, emotional and psychological impact of fertility problems and it is an invaluable way to help us raise awareness of fertility issues.
