"Coping with infertility"

Ten years ago we got the diagnosis of Infertility and were told that our dream to start a family was going to be difficult and we would need IVF if we were ever going to have biological children. This caused me to feel very alone as I did not really know anyone in real life who had been through anything similar.

Me being me needed to gain information and research what was going to happen. I bought lots of memoirs from Amazon and turned to the Internet to gather information.

I learnt so much and was able to question my specialist and be an active participant in our IVF treatment in 2009. This produced our gorgeous daughter Evie in April 2010 and again in 2012 IVF gave us our precious son Lucas.

I documented our journey on my YouTube channel and joined Infertility/IVF forums on Twitter and we have started a regular iTunes Podcast covering our journey.

I decided now to create a blog as a place to share my precious memories of parenting after IVF/Infertility.

We were lucky enough to be part of the cast of "Inconceivable"- a TVNZ Documentary that followed our journey as we unfroze and tried our last round of IVF eggs. It was an emotional roller-coaster of a journey but one we were grateful to be able to share with the world. 

I hope to provide hope to others who may be struggling with their Infertility diagnosis. I actually can look back and am grateful to Infertility as the long hard journey to create my family has made every day special and I am thankful everyday and never take a day for granted.
