At first I didn't think much of it but when I was really low I just had this urge to click on some of the ttc hashtags to see how others were getting on and it was here that I discovered a whole community dedicated to infertility.
What amazed me was how many women there were connected on it from all over the world, from all different walks of life and yet it was like they were all best friends brought together by the one thing .....INFERTILITY!
I began posting about this subject too and started talking with others about treatments, then I noticed that others kept in touch by post and send eachother little messages and care packages as pick me ups.
I began to write to others too, some in this country and some abroad.
I have recieve the most amazing letters and gifts over the past few months and I am so so incredibly
thankful.

The Nail Polish Exchange
Chelsea also arranged a nail polish exchange recently which involved something like 80 ladies around the world (on IG) who are trying to concieve, going through treatment, etc.Everyone had a secret person to send a box of goodies to and by a certain date.
I recieved this amazing package (left) from Sally in Australia.
It was full to the brim with the most amazing items....and she had got my personilty spot on with all of the scrapbooking items.
She even managed to sneak in the nail polish! :)
Incredible woman and again another person I am thankful to have crossed paths with on IG.
I know that social networking can cause lots of problems but in this case I think it shows how good it can be too.
Like my mum said to me.. when she was going through this situation 30 years ago, it was like you were on your own with no-one for support and something as simple as knowing that others are going through the same helps.
