Whatever your situation or medical condition, you will be inspired by Julia Indichova's remarkable story. At the age of 42 she had an FSH of 42 (that's bad). A number of doctors refused to treat her, based on this number. But Julia was determined to complete her family. She had secondary … [Read more...]

Book Review: Ordinary Miracles

September 18, 2012 by heatherss 3 Comments

I first got to know Krissi McVicker through ICLW, the one week in the month where you exchange a certain number of comments per day on a list of blogs organised by Mel, the Stirrup Queen of infertility blogs. Krissi was somewhat different in that she had already achieved all her miracle babies … [Read more...]

Book Review: How Not to F*** Them Up

August 16, 2012 by heatherss 3 Comments

This is probably going to be a bit of a controversial post. (How can it not, with a title like "How Not To F*** Them Up") But I have to tell you, books always seem to come to me at the right time, often to help me through certain issues. And this is the book that has helped me realise that my … [Read more...]

Book Review: Veronika Decides to Die

July 21, 2012 by heatherss 9 Comments

Paulo Coelho always writes such life affirming books. You know you've read a good book when it has made you examine your life more deeply and given you inspiration. This is what he does. Veronika decides to die. It appears to me that she attempts to end her life out of sheer boredom. She has … [Read more...]

Vitamins For Pregnancy

December 28, 2011 by heatherss 10 Comments

I promised an update to the Fertile Food Thoughts post on what to eat when you are pregnant, and this is kind of a part two. Except it has started off as more of an interest in vitamins, and vitamins for pregnancy. (By the way SIF has just written a post about getting cheaper vitamins from … [Read more...]

Book review: Sing You Home

August 7, 2011 by heatherss 1 Comment

  I grabbed this book (Sing You Home) when I saw it at my favourite bookshop. The reason was: 1-I really enjoyed Jodi Picoult’s My Sister’s Keeper (the story of a girl who sued her parents for the right over her own body: she was being used as extra parts for her dying … [Read more...]

From Muddle to Meaning

March 6, 2011 by heatherss 2 Comments

Hello bleeps! How are you all doing? I went to a very interesting workshop yesterday on Techniques at the Counselling House at church (where I do the play therapy, uh, correction, not doing it at the moment due to work overload). We had to do various activities which would reveal … [Read more...]

Book Review: The Fertile Kitchen Cookbook

January 15, 2011 by heatherss 14 Comments

It was about six months ago, in the depths of depression after a failed IUI, that I received the news that I had won Cindy Bailey’s "The Fertile Kitchen Cookbook". It became a ray of hope in an otherwise dark situation. I had something to plan for. I’m embarrassed to say that the CD sat there on … [Read more...]
