Disappearing hope!

How often are you looking at the time? It’s strange that we have been forced into a situation where we stay in and often have little to do or struggle to get through the demands of the day. I think I have looked at my watch more times then ever before! I fall in theContinue reading “Disappearing hope!”

Obsessive Mummy

We all know the ones right? The ones that from the moment they fall pregnant they bombard us with every tiny detail, be it in person or via social media. You know the scan pictures, the bump at this week, the baby just kicked, morning sickness, tiredness and then the baby arrives!!! It becomes constantContinue reading “Obsessive Mummy”

We should have been given a scan photo today of our embryos implanted safely. We should have come out and rested, wishing and hoping for the embryos to stick!

We are at present in a National Emergency state and our Prime Minister has askedContinue reading “A letter to my embryos”

Selfishly heartbroken
