Do you know the #HiddenFaces of fertility? It’s just two weeks till National Fertility Awareness Week 31 Oct – 6 Nov 2016, when Fertility Network UK is revealing the true picture of fertility struggles – fertility’s #HiddenFaces.
Fertility Network UK’s #HiddenFaces campaign uncovers the real people behind fertility struggles – shining a spotlight on untold fertility stories and overturning commonly-held fertility myths.

Their #fertilityin5 campaign highlights the unseen, intimate and day-to-day reality of living with fertility issues. 5 words to show how you’re feeling, or the fertility issue you’re facing that day.
‘Your eggs are not viable’
Failing, terrified, exhausted, lonely, losing’
‘Sorry, there is no heartbeat’
‘Empty, lonely, bitter, heartbroken, failure’
‘Losing me, day by day’
