Hi there Chickpea, I'd just like to say welcome and what a fantastic idea!
We're not pregnant yet but fingers crossed it will happen soon. I'm in qld at the moment but we are moving down to melb as soon as we've got a baby on the way so I can be closer to my parents. I'm really keen to study midwifery myself and I'd be happy to have a student share the expirence with us -which will hopfully be a homebirth. I'll keep you posted

Good luck with your studys

Hey beth and sara...

Thanks for the welcome and great reaction! I was a bit hesitant asking, but I know that's the only way I'll find out, and yours is just the reaction I love to hear!!!

Fingers crossed for you two, I hope it goes as smoothly as possible.

How cool that you want to study miwifery too. It's great, I'm so excited to be a midwife in 2 1/2 years. The course is full on, and everyone says it's a rollercoaster. There are so many aspects you have to learn about that you don't even think of. But it's worth it, and can be really great some days too!

I'm still learning about all the different conception options. Have you already explained what you two are trying? I'd be interested to find out as much as you'd like to tell!

Homebirth sounds great! Thanks again.

Hey Chickpea, We are TTC with Queensland Fertility Group, Doing IUI's with an unknown american donor. If you look in the left top corner of this post you'll see a link to my blog (which I have been very slack at updating) and I go into quite a bit (too much ,lol) detail on there about the IUI procedure

We have been getting very poor responses to the 100mg of clomid so we're having a break while we decide to try a different medication with the IUI's or move straight onto IVF.

Hey beth and sarah,

I love all your blogs, they're great. So real, and genuine, it's good reading them. I get a feel for what you are going through, which is really interesting from a midwifery point of view. It's good to realise how much goes into getting pregnant for some couples. I think having that knowledge can definately help me support women better when they're pregnant. Knowing what they had to go through to get there!

And for me, a look into my possible future, when I start trying to have my own babies.

Thanks for your openess.

Popping in to say hello.

I'm an Adelaide girl and probably always will be, but I'm currently living in the UK with my wife, and we are just getting started after realising that adoption wasn't right for us after all.
