After journeying through infertility, ivf and my first pregnancy I'm enjoying the opportunity to get to know my miracle baby girl. We are coparenting, my partner and I and my baby's gay dad and his partner.
So, I am 38, and want to be a mum. Nothing that unusual about it. I'm the quintessential modern family. One mum, one female partner, one dad, one male partner. There are plenty of blogs about that so it shouldn't pull you in much. I do love writing though, and am just looking for a place to do it. Join with me as I journey towards motherhood on the loopy hormonal ride that is IVF!
So you want a baby but you are a woman in a same-sex relationship? Well, just get your hands on some anonymous donor sperm, sign up for a bit of IVF magic and hope like hell Lady Luck is not pre-menstrual.
One woman's tale of love, depression, IVF after 40 and her attempt to unearth the energy to discover all that this World has to offer her and still manage to watch 100 hours of television a week.
