Welcome to my blog! After two yeas of debating and worrying about what people would think and the possible gossip, I took the bold step in March 2016 to document my fertility journey.  After a few months of writing, I realised that there were so many women experiencing the same emotional and painful journey that I was on. I concluded that there is so much more to life than allowing the opinions of others dictate your actions…

After three fresh cycles and one frozen transfer, my dream became a reality and my husband and I welcomed our baby boy in November 2016. I have continued to write because I am a firm believer in supporting others and the thought of just bringing everything to a stop because I have given birth would be selfish (in my eyes). I continue to carry out research on fertility treatments and advancements and, to be honest, I still have so much more to say!

In 2020, the narrative is changed slightly because… I  beat Breast Cancer! I now find myself navigating the thoughts and possibilities of motherhood for a second time through the lenses of a cancer survivor. Oncofertility is new to me and I’m once again open to sharing my journey regardless of the outcome. 

9MonthsandWaiting is my journey to motherhood and beyond  – a place where others can hopefully find support, information and encouragement. Feel free to comment, share and ask me questions on my Faith, the Fertility Journey and Beyond.
