Everyone’s fertility path is different; along the way there will be moments when it’s all-go and the appointments and tests feel non-stop, and other times when the pace slows as you wait for results and next steps. For these moments, you might like to do some further reading (in our guides), hear the stories of others (in our clinic reviews), or find connection with people in the same position as you.
It’s sometimes easy to lose sight of the fact that there are many of us on this path together. However, we know how important it is to connect with people who not only share similar clinical and personal backgrounds, but are at the same stage in their fertility treatment – as well as those who have been through it and are now ready to share what they’ve learned.
When you feel like you need a shift in mood or perspective, these communities can be a really helpful resource. You’ll also find a wealth of lived experience and learnings, as well as plenty of willing listeners when you need to sound out decisions or share your own frustrations, highs and lows.

Everything we do is powered by and for our community, including the co-creation of this list. It will continue to be updated, but if the type of group you’re looking for isn’t here, or on the other hand you have a really great one to recommend, please do let us know by emailing hello@fertilitymapper.com.
