What I wish I’d known

October 16, 2016 By Tracey Leave a Comment

Every now and then certain pregnancy/parenting topics pop up that start a conversation, create a debate and then usually end up being labelled “mummy wars”.  I don’t buy into the whole mummy war thing – I’ve never personally come across it and I don’t know anyone who has. Unless people are talking about me behind my…

Surviving the two week wait

Surviving the two week wait… IVF is a game of patience

July 31, 2016 By Tracey 3 Comments

As a natural optimist I thought IVF would be relatively straight forward.  It was an opinion that did not last long. One successful IVF cycle was enough to crush the idealist in me  I was naïve and uninformed in equal measure. It’s a complex process and I learnt very quickly – and about $8K later…

Mummy whispering

November 18, 2014 By Tracey Leave a Comment

Here comes the sun

I remember very clearly Anzac Day in 2012.  MM and I always go to the dawn service in the city and this year one of two things were going to occur.  Either we’d be going to the service or we would be going to an embryo transfer.  The service it was.  After a very early breakfast we arrived back…
