Emma’s Journey

I have to pinch myself regularly. From a place of desperation and adversity came a wonderful opportunity to truly make a difference in this world, by helping others on their trying to conceive journeys. In December 2019 my husband Adam and I set up Your IVF abroad, a service that offers fertility clinic matching in

Brooke’s Journey

Hi I’m Brooke and I’m infertile.  Flashback nearly 5 years ago when I experienced my first miscarriage. My fiancé (now husband) and I purchased our first home and not long after I found out I was pregnant. I’m going to jump around a bit here just to give you a little more information about me.

Lynsey’s Journey

Do I share how I feel, do I keep it to myself and try to always be brave and strong.  The answer: it depends on the day and if I’m feeling strong enough to say something out loud. Saying something out loud to me is more scary than keeping everything to myself.  Saying something out

How Infertility Has Changed Me…

The deep desire to have a baby and all that comes with being unable to conceive naturally, once took over my entire life. The impact of infertility is so powerful that it can often change the purpose of who you are. It has the ability to alienate you from your family and friends by throwing

You are enough

I have so many different emotions associated with this photo.  A moment captured of my son Mason, coming up to me with a piece of toilet paper to apply on my tummy after he witnessed one my infamous GONAL-F Injections. I was quite weak throughout the IVF process, in the sense that I wasn’t able

Through His Eyes… PPH

Today’s post is a little different… and written by a very special guest… my hubs – Vince. It only made sense that the next part in our journey that pertained to the delivery of Mason, should be through Vince’s eyes. As I mentioned in my previous post, shortly after my c-section I experienced PPH –

When the rain stops…

Everyone has a story.   I cannot begin to tell you the negative impact social media can have on one’s mental health. Whether it be scrolling through pictures of lavish vacations, nights out on the town with friends, or the pics of peaceful sleeping babies – they’re all one in the same. A snapshot – a

I would be lying if I told you that I would have imagined that the story of our relationship would face so many struggles – but I’d also be lying if I told you that I don’t appreciate my family a hell of a lot more because of it. I always feared the nightmare of

Lucky #17

Taking a pause today in my journey and fast-forwarding 6 years to present day. This past weekend, in the midst of being isolated now for 4 weeks and counting, something really special happened. As I’ve mentioned before, my husband and I come from fairly large families… we have a total combined of 17 nieces and

My one-and-only

As you may already be aware, my first IVF cycle was successful.  The odds were against us and our chances were slim – but here I am witnessing my one-and-only double pink line @ 10DP5DT.  I struggle finding the words to help explain how I felt in this moment.  However, if I had to find
