COMMUNITY SUPPORT GROUP

Our forum has connected patients for years, and now we've taken that support somewhere new. Our Facebook community is live, so you can share your journey, connect with others going through the same thing, and get trusted guidance from our team. 

An update on the Care Fertility Forum

The Care Fertility Forum is now closed, and our community support has moved to a new home on Facebook. It's now live, and you're welcome to join us there today.

Click here to join our community.

The forum has given patients a place to connect and support one another for many years, and we don't take that lightly. But more and more of our patients are already talking, sharing and supporting each other on social media, so the move means we can offer something more accessible, more engaging and, we hope, more useful to you.

We would like to say thank you for being part of the Care Fertility Forum. The support you've shown one another over the years has made a real difference, and that's something we want to carry forward into our new community.

Meet our community manager

Lauren Barker - Community Manager - Quote

Hi, I’m Lauren, Community Manager at Care Fertility.

I’ve been part of Care Fertility for almost 10 years, working in patient-facing roles focused on improving support and making sure patients feel heard.

I also understand fertility treatment personally. My own journey included an endometriosis diagnosis, five cycles of IVF, failed and cancelled cycles, and pregnancy loss, before I finally completed my family with the help of a wonderful egg donor — some of that treatment right here at Care Fertility.  I know first-hand how overwhelming and isolating it can feel.

Finding an online fertility community made a real difference to me, offering reassurance, hope and friendships that continue to this day. It also showed me how powerful peer support can be.

My aim for the Care Fertility Community is to create a safe, welcoming space where current and former patients can connect, share experiences and support one another beyond the clinic.

Whether you’re starting treatment, facing difficult decisions or supporting others, I hope this community helps you feel understood, respected and never alone.
