The third cycle

Yup. You read that right. I haven't gone mad and missed an IVF cycle. I mean, I have missed a section, the second fresh cycle which gave us Logan. But as we know the outcome to that one, I thought I would pause that story for now and tell you the most recent news. From…

After the first cycle

So, as we learnt from my post The first cycle, I didn't end up with the positive result I so desperately hoped for. My whole cycle had been looking good, the medications were changing my body as it should. My lining thickened as it should at the right time and my ovaries were looking promising.…

It’s been a while

So I will start with saying sorry for the silence! I know it's a phrase bandied around often but seriously - time really does fly when you're having fun! I truly don't know where this year is going - all I know is it's going fast! I have so many posts in the pipeline but…

Due to the findings during my laparoscopy, I had to have IVF treatment. The surgery took place 30/04/2015 and it was determined I would…

The first IVF steps feat. My Past

Sounds pretty ominous for a title for a blog post! But its time to get to the IVF story... I've been delaying it long enough! And to be able to get to the IVF, I have to talk about how I got to that path, and for that, I have to visit my past. This…
