Thank you for writing this, Gemma. The rules really ARE confusing - let alone for those whose language is an added barrier, and those who may be concerned about being out of work due to not completing a job - especially if they are supporting their entire family. There is a lot of pressure on people and there’s a lot of finger pointing going on - I’m glad there are stories like this out there. Thank you. 

Well-written article, on a topic that’s obviously very difficult to talk about and deeply personal. Infertility is not that widely discussed anyway (though I feel it’s changing slowly), so for someone to put themselves and their personal experience out to the public in the hope of reaching out to other people with similar experiences is courageous and generous. Keep the conversation going.
