Let’s Make A Baby: Part 27 – A shinny new title!
A shinny new title will be needed for this blog. As you may have already read in my last post, I’ve turned a page. I had a major decision to make. It had been more than a year since my 2019 embryo transfer and I was now eligible to apply to the Banques Mixtes du... Continue Reading →

Single Mom By Choice – Part 12: Why?
I can see why women do this again and again... but I don't understand why I did...
