Cradle
CRADLE is a registered Scottish Charity that provides support to individuals and couples experiencing infertility. Our organisation is run for patients by patients. The aim of Cradle is to provide education and support to those with infertility issues or who may be currently going through fertility treatment.
Cradle group members are couples and individuals who have had fertility treatment regardless of whether this has been successful or unsuccessful. As a group we recognise the need for continued support from a subfertility diagnosis, through treatment and coming to terms with childlessness.
Couples who have been successful in treatment may find themselves, once again, on the emotional roller coaster of fertility treatment should they wish to have another child or even those who have previously had a child naturally, but are having difficulty in subsequent pregnancies. This can be equally if not more stressful than previous treatment cycles as the reality of ‘knowing what your are losing’ can be difficult to deal with and there can often be high expectations involved.

Our group focus on providing;
- emotional support to individuals and couples,
- up to date information on ‘patients rights’ and
- education in the field of fertility problems and treatment from a wide range of staff from the medical, pharmaceutical and science professions.
These topics shall be on request from the group members.
CRADLE provides online support to individuals and couples dealing with infertility issues. We endeavour to reply to any questions within 24 hours. If you have any questions about diagnosis or treatment or just need to talk about how you are feeling then please get in touch. The support is provided by patients for patients but if your question requires a more detailed medical or scientific response then we may request a professional response from one of our hospital contacts.
We have a wide range of books which may be borrowed on a lending basis, and a small
budget for new books should there be ones which you wish to order.
