Grieving whilst on hormone drugs and planning for the future is very difficult and conflicting. Yesterday (9th August) was two years since Neil and I went for another scan and were told that Kora and Ava had no heartbeats.

Round Two – again!
Neil and I have started our IVF round two again this month. I say again as we have tried to start round two in January 2020 and March 2020. The first time was cancelled as we found out the first round of IVF had resulted in a twin pregnancy where we miscarried one and theContinue reading “Round Two – again!”

The truth about IVF…
It’s a wonderful thing is IVF. Giving people like me the best opportunity to fall pregnant. What people don’t know is just how tough it can be. For me and my husband it’s the waiting! Not only the waiting that you have in relation to the IVF but also the waiting when your body hasContinue reading “The truth about IVF…”
