Trying for a baby

Hello from Gurgle! Fertility Issues - You're not the Only One!

If you are struggling to conceive, it can be difficult to talk about even with your closest friends and family so it can be a comfort to read about other people's experiences and even those with the seemingly most glamorous lives can experience fertility problems. Brigid Moss is Health Director at Red Magazine but she has also written a book describing her journey to motherhood and her experiences with IVF. Brigid takes us with her on a rollercoaster of emotions - elated, depressed, emotionally raw and ultimately accepting in this very honest account.
