My dream of being a mum put on hold... Never!

Following the post-partum infection from the D&E following the delivery of the twins, and of course to top it off - the pseudo-membranous colitis from the second round of surgery - D&C, I was told it would be 6-9 months before I could try IUI again. This was devastating news, we all know as you reach 40 and beyond the chances are slimmer, I know the fact that I fell pregnant was always a positive but still I didn't want to have to wait so long before I could try again. I adm

The sad loss of my special boys

With every story there is an inevitable ending, in this case a sad one. I have been writing my blogs on being single, high up on the career ladder, choosing to be a single mum, going through IUI at IVF Australia, my frustrations on Medicare rebate legislation and about being a career girl who wants it all and how getting pregnant and finding myself in a rare, high risk pregnancy, really put my life and its values into perspective, I have also continually harped on about how w

The IUI/IVF Journey

Wanting a baby was always one of my top priorities, amongst many others - career, being a successful business woman, travelling the world, being a great friend, staying healthy and continuing to manage a very creative and healthy social presence - just generally enjoying life and creating many memories, oh and finding a husband - this one didn't quite work out but the rest did. So the only thing left to do now was to get focused on trying for a mini-me. I started my journey

How did it get so late so soon... says Dr Seuss.

Age is a big consideration when one is keen to have a child. And sometimes "life" just gets in the way. Or does it? Do we always need to be stressing about something or working hard to prove ourselves? Do we constantly need to be working towards goals, creating challenges and over- achieving on them, eating lunch at our desk, working all through the night and making sure we are always available on our iPhone 24/7, chasing that promotion, paying debts off, completing "this" b

My new MoMo World

And this post is the reason I wanted to start my blog... At my 9 week scan, there wasn't one heartbeat, there were two! How did this happen? So with any pregnancy comes that inate sense of concern, maternal instinct and love - all of my friends talk about it, as soon as you have a positive pregnancy test - you are a mum! My IVF specialist/Gynaecologist rushed me into Ultrasound Care, as she has never missed 2 heartbeats in her career - the panic on her face tells me this is n

The Donor and IUI journey

**Any questions you may have on IVF/IUI, donors or anything to do with getting pregnant as a single mum, please contact me at my Contact page and I am happy to help out where I can**. So remember, I said I would have made the top of the waitlist in February 2015 and remember in my last couple of posts I talked about Values and Priorities... well I didn't take my own advice back then. So here I go, August 2015, over a year since my first appointment with IVF Australia. I have

The Beginning of the Journey and Priorities.... did I have them all wrong - of course!

When I set my mind to something, that's it... June 2014, another birthday which means another year older, so I made myself an appointment with the GP... asking for a referral letter to get on board this Motherhood train. After some research, I had chosen to go with IVF Australia to take me on this journey, I selected my IVF specalist and went through all of the tests... Hurrah at last I hear those words every female, who wants to be a mum at some point in her life, wants to h

A Girl Who Wants It All

It's been a tough few months but I am a strong and positive woman so I am coming through the other side... This blog takes you through my story of a single woman, who works really hard and also tries to have a baby. I am and always have been very career driven, continually searching for Mr Right/Mr Perfect - whichever could come first and always had the dream that I would be a mum. The Girl Who Wants It All... And why not?! So there "I" was... - I had finally reached the pinn
