IVF

Just the three of us

July 15, 2019 By Tracey Leave a Comment

You know that feeling when you use to think one thing and suddenly because of what becomes your lived experience you start to think differently? Yep, I do. What feels like a lifetime ago, but was only two years ago, I wrote a blog post called “I have one child, not an only child.”   It…

The terrifying yet common pregnancy condition that no one really talks about

May 13, 2019 By Tracey 5 Comments

There is a lady in my Pilates class who I’ve been watching a bit lately.  She has caught me staring at her a few times now, she probably thinks I’m a bit weird.  She’s pregnant you see, 6 or 7 months pregnant and she has been coming to Pilates for a couple of months.  I…

Where do (IVF) babies come from daddy?

October 23, 2017 By Tracey 4 Comments

Infertility. What not to say.

March 20, 2017 By Tracey Leave a Comment

So here’s the thing. I often say silly stuff that I wish I hadn’t said. Not because I’m insensitive and thoughtless but because I don’t know what else to say and so I end up saying something profoundly stupid. There’s a certain irony in me writing a piece on “what not to say.”  This is not…
