This year’s gift guide is a collection of things I have purchased for gifts (this year or others) or things I have bought, used and loved myself. I have tried to stick to local, Aussie products with only a couple of exceptions (and where I can I’ve tried to give you Aussie stores to purchase... Continue Reading →
The dreaded 'Two Week Wait', it's bad enough when you're trying to get pregnant the old fashioned way. It messes with your mind, nothing to do but wait. Add in that early pregnancy symptoms are often just like PMS and it's torture. For me, who has been pregnant naturally before, I knew I was pregnant... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I had one of the best scan’s I have ever had. It was a day 6 scan, to monitor when to start my Orgalutran (the medication that stops me ovulating all my beautiful eggs before the doctors can get to them). I’ve only had a day 6 scan once before and it was not... Continue Reading →
I know, I’m super neglectful of my blog. My life was a little hectic in 2020. My job was full on as it has been focused on the pandemic, and it involves a lot of writing so the last thing I wanted to do at the end of the day was write. Also, I didn’t... Continue Reading →
I’m a little late with this list. I really wanted it to be 25 Movies long so it matched part one and stayed with my theme of being a 25 day advent… but I was stuck on 24. I’ve been watching movies to try and find a 25th Movie. So, this list is in no... Continue Reading →
Every year I make a Christmas playlist for you all to enjoy. This year is no different. I have tried to mix it up with some of my favourites, some new versions of the classics and some you may not have heard before. This year there are over 160 songs on my list (more than... Continue Reading →
So, you have all your supplements down pat (you really should start these 3 months before you start IVF so quick get onto it if you haven’t), your doctor has got your meds tweaked just right for you, the nurse has gone through with you how to give your injections, you’ve purchased a cute little...

As if IVF isn’t stressful enough, try doing IVF during a global pandemic! Honestly, I just haven’t had time to write anything resembling a diary for this round, but I thought I’d try and capture some thoughts. COVID-19 I knew last weekend that COVID-19 was closing in on us. I was desperate to get to... Continue Reading →
There's something so comforting about a childhood favourite... 'just like Mum used to make'... Maybe not just like Mum used to make because I like to tweak those basic recipes; sometimes to make it a little more yummy, sometimes to beef up the veggies, and always to covert it to gluten/dairy free. So here it... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I spent most of the day in the kitchen, bulk cooking. This way next time I'm in an IVF cycle, feeling like rubbish and can't be bothered cooking when I get home at 7pm, I will have healthy meals on hand to heat up. I also had a bunch of fruit to use up,... Continue Reading →
