Hi Guys,

I am an Australian living in Darwin.

I have been married to my husband for 6 years now and we have been together for 8 years.

We have a beautiful daughter - Miss Cheeky Chops aka Olivia, who has has recently celebrated her second birthday (Nov).

We have a dog a Jack Russell (Russell) and a cat an Australian Domestic Short Hair (Kenny).

I have a passion for anything to do with Stephen King and also sea horses. Some would say I'm obsessed lol.

It has taken us 6 years in total to get pregnant. Two years unsuccessful, two years on ivf and now another two years unsuccessful.
I think that during the two years we did ivf we spent around $30 k (au$).

We had IVF actually ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). We had 2x complete drug cycles, 3x natural cycles (1x which was cancelled), 1x miscarriage (twins), 1x Miss Cheeky Chops aka Olivia.

The road is long and hard but we had age on our side.
We also considered adoption and were just starting our on our journey before we tried ivf again.

Silly me, I am thinking about doing it again next year.

Good luck.

Take care and be well, Michelle
