COMMUNITY SUPPORT GROUP

Our forum has connected patients for years, and now we're taking that support somewhere new. We're launching a Facebook community where 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

We've made the decision to close the Care Fertility Forum. We're moving our community support to a new home, the official Care Fertility Facebook 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. Moving there 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.

Key dates

The forum will stay open until 25 August 2026. After this date, it will close permanently and you won't be able to access it or your previous posts, so do save anything you'd like to keep before then.

We're busy building the new Care Fertility Community now. For updates on the launch, keep an eye on this page, where we'll be sharing more over the coming weeks.

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. After being diagnosed with endometriosis, I went through IVF, donor conception, failed cycles and pregnancy loss, so I know 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.

Become a founding community moderator

We're looking for a small group of patients to help us get the new community off to a good start, welcoming new members and helping keep it a safe, supportive space. If this sounds like you, email us at Community@carefertility.com to find out more. 

Frequently asked questions

Why is the forum closing?

More of our patients are already connecting on social media, so we're moving our community support there too. This lets us offer a more accessible and engaging space, with easier access via mobile and social platforms.

When will the forum close?

The forum will remain available until 25 August 2026. After this date, it will be permanently closed and you'll no longer be able to access it.

Will I be able to access my old posts after the forum closes?

No. Once the forum closes on 25 August 2026, it won't be accessible, so please save anything important before then.

When will the new Facebook Community launch?

 We're preparing it now and will share more details, including the launch date, over the coming weeks. 
Will the new community be moderated?

Yes. It will be professionally moderated, with support from our team and a group of founding community moderators, to keep it a safe and supportive space. 
How do I find out when the new community is live?
