Patient Day of Action 25/03/2017 When I found out about this campaign, I was so happy, yet quite upset. I cannot imagine how much money hubby and I would have spent had it not been for our access to NHS Funding. To find out that there have and will continue to be cuts to this … Continue reading Patient Day of Action

What about the men?
I recently came across an Instagram page @carrythequiver after the owner liked one of my posts. After sharing my testimony at church on New Year's Eve, I began thinking about my IVF journey, infertility and how the men were coping. I had never before taken the time to really think about men going through the … Continue reading What about the men?

30/11/16, my mums birthday, my world changed for the better. We became three- a family, a unit, our testimony was birthed! As we made our way to the routine appointment scheduled with the consultant on the Monday, we discussed our excitement at seeing our boy on the screen again. You see, we had become … Continue reading 33+4=301116
We’re Expecting pt2

Even with PCOS, I definitely had the African mindset of "that won't happen to me, it's not my … Continue reading Fertility Myths
Cycle 3
This is a different type of post as I have included some videos too! During the process, I decided to video some of my thoughts. I wasn't quite sure what I'd do with the content but, it felt right at the time. I didn't get a chance to do any editing as … Continue reading Cycle 3
Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)
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! I mean, … Continue reading Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)
Will I meet you someday?
I don't think anyone ever gets over the loss of a loved one. At 7 weeks and 5 days, many people would refer to my baby as an embryo, but to me, he or she was my baby- a human being. God tells us that He knew us before we were formed in our mother's … Continue reading Will I meet you someday?
