This week has been a busy one for Mr R and I. In between work, emergency visits to the vets (one of our fur babies was bitten by another animal and ended up with a nasty infected wound on his head), and catching up with some of my family who are visiting from abroad; we’ve attended an adoption information evening… Read More
6 pregnancies, 6 losses
A couple of weeks ago I got a surprise BFP. Well, obviously it wasn’t totally surprising as we are still trying to conceive, but every cycle I get my hopes up only to have them dashed so didn’t think this would be any different.

A letter to my 16 year old self
I’ve seen a few blog posts like this in recent months so thought I’d write my own… Dear 16 year old me I hope you’re not winding Mum and Dad up too much.

However, after looking over the Balance Activ website I decided this product was something I and my readers would be interested… Read More

Another year has past and here we are again, another birthday. My 36th. I’d like to say what a difference a year makes, in a good way, but I guess the last year HAS made a difference in my our lives. If you’re a regular reader of my blog you’ll know that towards the end of last year I fell pregnant… Read More
Low GI
Following our appointment at the Recurrent Miscarriage clinic and the Dr advising I start a low GI diet I’ve been trying to stick to it, and so far I’ve lost 6lbs. Breakfast and our evening meals are really quite easy as most of what we eat normally is considered low GI, but lunches are not so easy to keep low… Read More
National Infertility Awareness Week
It’s that time of year again, to raise awareness of Infertility. There’s been lots of talk of it on Twitter over the weekend. Twitter friends going through the same, asking if I will “out” myself. The answer in short is no. Close friends and family (and of course you guys) are aware of what we’ve been through and are still… Read More
