It is estimated that 90% of these women are childless not by choice, for a whole variety of reasons, with only 10% choosing to be childfree.

Meet some of the childless not by choice community from around the globe as they answer the same seven questions.

My name is Lucy, I am childless not by choice after infertility and IVF.

I set up this project after searching a London bookshop looking for childless not by choice inspiration and seeing nothing at all on the subject. I want to give childless women like me somewhere they can share who they are and can really be seen by others in the community and in the wider world too. I also want this to be a resource for women who do not wish to contribute but would like to read about women like themselves.

It takes courage to take participate, as lots of us still have our vulnerable sides, so I thank all who have contributed so far.
