Some time ago, I wrote a post titled 'We're expecting' and received messages of congratulations from people who saw the title but had not read the post. I guess it was kinda misleading but I promise it wasn't my intention.😊 So, for most of you, you know that we are actually expecting- finally! I've had … Continue reading We’re Expecting pt2
A date for the diary … whether you’re in London, Lagos or Rio De Janerio! Mrs Busari founded Prayer & Share earlier in the year - a time where ladies get together to pray, fellowship and share their favourite food dish. The event had to be cancelled due to the birth of Baby Josiah, but … Continue reading PRAYER & SHARE: MORNING TRIUMPHS LAUNCH
The harsh reality of accessing fertility treatment is unfortunately linked to your postcode. Just after we experienced our first failed cycle, we were told that our local borough were no longer offering funding for 3 cycles. Thank God our funding had already been secured and the changes did not affect us. IVF may not be the … Continue reading What’s on offer?
Day 3 of National Fertility Awareness Week! My godsister (mrsbusari.com) said something so key yesterday. Â She said she never thought she would be in the category of someone who struggled with fertility... It's the same for me!

In the Nigerian and many other African, Caribbean and Asian cultures, you do not call someone who is older than (like … Continue reading Conversations with my Nigerian aunties
Thinking back over my journey, I've definitely had many dark days- sometimes weeks! I've shut myself away from the people who love me the most, all in the hope of having "space and time to think." Gosh, thinking can be dangerous! I mean when there's no end to your negative thinking, it can take you … Continue reading Imole ninu okunkun aye -The light in darknessÂ
As old as you are, you remain the same! Last week, I had so many names of God going through my head and thought I'd do a little sharing! Also gives you all an opportunity to learn a little Yoruba 😊 When I reflect on my journey, one major factor I'm grateful for is my … Continue reading Arugbo ojo – Ancient of days
FET I thought I'd get this next post out quickly rather than pondering and procrastinating over where to start. So, Cycle 1= failed, Cycle 2= failed, I'm not sure whether to classify this as cycle 3 hence the title of the post. The three month wait seemed like the longest of my life!
