The Struggles of Infertility: DEIVF Round 1, IVF Attempt No.2

I can’t wrap my head around the last month or so… It’s been challenge after challenge. Stress after stress. The past two-three weeks have been really really shit to be honest. I feel like a failure, that I’ve let my husband, our families and our friends down. I know so many of you were rooting for us and we appreciate…

April & May Joys

IVF: Things To Know

Hi everyone! I know it’s Christmas Eve and I’m discussing a serious topic, however, I some-what felt inspired to type this, this morning. So, as some of you guys know… Joe and I went through IVF in January 2020 (which I can’t believe was two years ago now) and sadly wasn’t successful, which I go into detail here. We have…
