I remember the pain, loneliness and unfairness of my punishing infertility "rollercoaster ride" as if it were yesterday.  It was many years ago when my GP suggested she was going to refer me to a fertility specialist as becoming pregnant after 2 to 3 years was proving impossible. 


​

Being hospital phobic, I hesitantly attended my first visit and was advised of the necessary procedures to enhance my chances of conceiving. Much to my doctor's dismay, I ran out the door vowing never to return!

A year later, my GP called encouraging me to return. I bravely went along and started on a course of ovulation induction therapy. Being told I only had a limited number of treatments available on the NHS, I cherished each month's treatment, daring to hope every month that it would surely work this time! Month after painful month went by as I bravely endured this treatment, hating and resenting every injection and every ultrasound scan whilst the consultant flippantly told me "it'll happen one day, you'll see".

Well it didn't happen, leaving me with nothing but just one months worth of treatment to cling to!  This being my last hope of natural motherhood, I was desperate not to use it, knowing if I did and it failed, all hope was gone. A truly chilling feeling.  I chose to hold it back, I couldn't bear the thought of using it up and it not working.

A few months later, my husband and I were asked to attend an appointment with the main Fertility Consultant in the hospital who we had never met before. He coldly explained that after reviewing my results he could find nothing wrong and the infertility was unexplained. He told me it was likely to be my failing as my husband already had natural children. He said that statistically speaking, couples who had been trying for as long as we had held no chance of successfully conceiving. He also said it wasn't worth me going through the final ovulation treatment as the efficacy of the drug increased over time so a one-off treatment wouldn't work. He thanked us for our time and held the door open for us to leave!

That was it!
There was nothing more!
There was no-one to turn to, no-one offering help!
I just had to live with it!

I can honestly say, the painful infertility journey I endured was way harder than dealing with an endometrial cancer diagnosis and hysterectomy some years later.

It wasn't until some 25 years or more later that I found a fertility coach who really understood where I was coming from.  She made space for my emotions which had been unprocessed for so long and helped me to process them and generously listened to me and heard what I had to say after all these years. I have since undertaken an infertility coaching programme which has brought me healing after all these years.

My story is a positive story, we went on to adopt our amazing daughter at the age of 6 months from South Africa, she is now 21 years old and is the light of our lives. If I had known what joy adoption would bring, I would not have endured any of the fertility treatment. I couldn’t possibly love her more if I had conceived and given birth to her myself. It doesn’t get much more miraculous than that. My family was born in a different way to which I had planned when I was younger, but I wouldn't change it for anything.

​What I learned when I found the Infertility Coaching Programme helped me to at last process my feelings and be in control of my emotions. It helped me enjoy my life and love my family exactly as they are. It helped me be the kind of wife, mum, daughter, sister, friend that I want to be.

I am dedicated to helping individuals who are struggling with fertility issues. I provide infertility courses that honors the individual’s physical, mental, and emotional needs. I am fortunate to work with a wide range of women and am humbled by the trust they place in me.

My approach to infertility coaching is tailored to the individual’s needs. I strive to help my clients find a pathway to a healthier and more balanced life.
