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 for someone who likes to have everything in order, who isn't...

Wake me up when Mother’s Day is over!!

THE most dreaded day in the whole year for someone who is trying to conceive (ttc).

It’s a slap in the face. Ok, it’s more like a dagger to the eye.

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.

It happens gradually at first.  We introduce one thing we SHOULD be doing, and that doesn’t work.  So, we introduce another, and that doesn’t work...

One of my all time favourite quotes is, YOU CAN’T BE BRAVE WHEN YOU’RE TIRED.

And when you’re struggling to fall pregnant or maintain a pregnancy, you need a level of bravery on par with Captain America.

Sleep is one of THE most important things to ensure we’re healthy and...

You finally saw those two lines and felt pure joy and excitement.  You imagined holding your baby in your arms..... before fear stepped in and took over.

I thought pregnancy was the cure for infertility and my miscarriage grief. Turns out I was wrong.

Anyone who has ever fallen pregnant...

Anyone who is trying to conceive or wants to have babies in the future has that room set aside.  You know, the one that accumulates baby things.  Hand-me downs from your sister or token items you purchase for when you’re pregnant.  That cute book you can picture reading them...

When I was in my 20’s, I watched my father die of cancer and held his hand as he took his last breath.  I visited my grandmother and hugged her in the hospital the night before she died.  And this all happened a month apart! 

So, I was no stranger to loss and grief.  But...
