My Story becoming “Our” Story

Fast forward to a month before the pandemic….does that feel like a lifetime ago to anybody else?

I had just entered into a relationship with the guy who I knew full well is my soulmate. I’m lucky; not everybody finds that. He talks about children, great, he wants kids, not so great, I have to explain about my condition and the fact that I may not be able to have a biological child.

His reaction was not what I expected at all (based on previous men, but I soon learnt not to tarnish them with the same brush) supportive, genuine and willing to stick together no matter what. I was probably a little naive to the nightmare of the fertility journey at that point, but this is a message to everyone. It is better to be alone than be with somebody who doesn’t react in the correct way!

My journey has now become ours and I was confident then and still am, that whether I become a mum or not, I have somebody wonderful to do life with. As well as family and friends and that life is still to be lived.

Thanks for reading my posts so far, the upcoming ones will be full of emotions, hospital appointments and living with infertility. I’m excited to share this journey and hope that you would be able to comment on your journeys and mental health. We can support each other!
