This. Is. The. Best. News. Ever! I saw this on Insta..... I wept. Then later today, my mum called me to say that Matt Hancock started the daily press briefing with news about fertility clinics. She sent me the video. I'm not one to get emotional over politics, but I wept through this too. This … Continue reading Fertility Clinics are allowed to reopen!

Battling the grief :(
To grieve or to mourn is always something that I have associated with death and the loss of a loved one. This is absolutely what it is. But I didn't realise you can grieve and mourn in with other 'losses'. After our recent disappointing appointment, I struggled quietly a lot inside and I expressed some … Continue reading Battling the grief 😦
“It will be worth the wait…”
Something so often said to us but something I don't want to hear. I don't want to wait. I don't know why I have to wait and most other couples (7 out 8) don't have to wait. Why me? Why us? Why did God choose us as the couple amoungst our friends who have to … Continue reading “It will be worth the wait…”
Today is another bad day
Just when I thought I was beginning to feel better, a little brighter in myself, to the point that I was happy and excited to go to a baby shower tomorrow, I have fallen apart again. And had to pull out of the baby shower to celebrate my soon-to-be-here niece. Since we had our appointment … Continue reading Today is another bad day
Just hopping on another roller coaster…

Life in the last 6/12/18 etc months has just been really, really hard. Feb half term holidays were coming up … Continue reading Just hopping on another roller coaster…
As Ronan Keating once sang, “Life is a rollercoaster…” Bad news and good news.
What. A. Week. I am totally overwhelmed, exhausted, broken, desperate, hopeful, excited, terrified... Let me tell you about our week. Last Friday: We both get home from school and there is a letter waiting for us. It tells us that our appointment at Addenbrookes has been cancelled and that we are to contact the surgery … Continue reading As Ronan Keating once sang, “Life is a rollercoaster…” Bad news and good news.
Female infertility? Male infertility?
In a recent post, I explained that my results have all come back clear but my husband's came back showing low morphology (the shape, size and overall quality of the sperm). Our GP explained he'd need the test repeated again and she reassured us that it would probably come back as all clear which would … Continue reading Female infertility? Male infertility?
Am I less of a woman?
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmqhulwg_n3/?igshid=d4bcwzhobf36 I guess in my journey, this is less of a question and more of a statement; I am less of a woman. When I see a woman walking around with her beautiful bump, or carrying her newborn baby, or pushing a precious little one in their pram, or holding the hands of someone who … Continue reading Am I less of a woman?
Why have I started this blog?
Photo credit: http://www.amateurnester.com Infertility is real. It is so real. And it is real in a way that I never, ever wanted to experience. It's also real in a way that I never expected either. Hopefully, and I am saying this through a heart and mind that is struggling to hold onto any hope at … Continue reading Why have I started this blog?
