If Mother’s Day is the worst day when struggling to conceive, Father’s Day would have to be the second worst day.

And if you’re living in certain parts for the world (United States and Canada) brace yourselves, because here it comes…...  (if you’re here in...

When you’re navigating your way through infertility on your path to parenthood, in my personal experience, there are two things we struggle with the most……

Firstly………UNCERTAINTY.  The constant questions of……..could this ALL be for...

Let’s talk about one of the biggest triggers on our path to motherhood……

PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Yep, the thing that makes us cringe the most when we open our social media feed. The thing that feels like a dagger to the heart.  The thing that can ruin friendships and...

IVF is not something we dream of. Injecting ourselves in the stomach with a needle is a far stretch from that romantic picture we had in our head of conceiving a baby and becoming a mother.  

But for a lot of us, we head down that path. And it is SO daunting. The paperwork alone is enough to...

I’m going to be completely honest.

Infertility ruined my sex life.

And from a poll I recently conducted over on Instagram, 88% of people said that their fertility struggles had an impact on their sex life.

You see, when you decide to have a baby, you imagine the passionate love-making as...

The moment it all came crashing down for me like a house of cards.  Everything I had ever believed in.  Was when I realised that I didn’t have control over whether I fell pregnant or not each month.

And it’s not just one day - it’s the lead up. It’s completely impossible...

I’m going to share with you how you can move through infertility a little smoother.  With less resistance.  More flow.  Less conflict and internal battles.

I have spent a large portion of my life battling my emotions and thoughts.  Yes – me literally arguing with...

Just be grateful for what you have.

That’s what we’re taught when we’re younger, and that’s what gets drilled into our head throughout our lives.  You must be grateful.  Anything less than that, and well, you’re spoilt or ungrateful.

So, when secondary...

Anything that starts with JUST or ends in AT LEAST……..won’t fix infertility OR comfort someone who is struggling to get pregnant.

 JUST relax.

If I had a dollar for every time I was told to JUST relax on my 7-year fertility journey, I’d be a millionaire. ...

I have a confession to make.  There were so many times on my fertility journey that I just couldn't picture being a mum.  I couldn't imagine the feeling of being pregnant. I'd close my eyes and try to see it, but so many times, I'd just get a blank screen.

And it scared the shit out of...

We get so caught up on what we SHOULD be doing in order to fall pregnant, that we stop doing the things we LOVE doing.
