Read My Full Story

November 4, 2011 by heatherss Leave a Comment

I've written my full story up about my fertility journey. I've entered it in a health advocate competition for Circle Bloom. The main theme seems to be all those doctors I have been through! But also a profound sense of gratitude for where I am now. There are a lot of other interesting people who … [Read more...]

A Week of Wonders

October 15, 2011 by heatherss 12 Comments

I don’t know where to begin. I should probably begin at the beginning. Last Thursday I had a bit of a bad day. I thought the weather was really warming up (it is Spring here in South Africa) and I decided instead of pants and socks to wear a skirt and sandals. Big mistake. I froze. I could … [Read more...]

New Beginnings

October 8, 2011 by heatherss 8 Comments

Continuing with my "out with the old, in with the new" theme, a few things have happened this week to reflect a shift in what is to come. My broken ring...Firstly I lost a petal in my ring. Now this may seem minor to those less materially minded (as I should be) but since I am very aware that … [Read more...]

IVF Nurse Appointment

October 3, 2011 by heatherss 6 Comments

When to do IVF..

September 27, 2011 by heatherss 6 Comments

Tapping my on my Thyroid

August 26, 2011 by heatherss 14 Comments

Last night some idiots damaged our gate. It looks like they crow barred the thing upwards.

My Support

August 25, 2011 by heatherss 9 Comments

I have to say that getting through my operation and everything it has involved could not have been achieved without my cheerleaders. This post is a tribute to everyone who has made these past two weeks possible. By the way I am fine now. I was in bed for about three days, was fine on the weekend, … [Read more...]

I had better preface this post with a TMI warning. There will be Too Much Information. There will be some graphic pictures. The unknown depth of my insides will be revealed!!

Blood test results

July 27, 2011 by heatherss 10 Comments

Hello bleeps! I just wanted to write a quick post about my blood results that I took about 2 weeks ago. I finally emailed the fertility clinic to ask about them (and other things, that poor women is getting a lot of emails from me. She must be saint. I think she is). In any case, in her … [Read more...]
