A few months ago I started feeling really on edge. Like I couldn’t cope. My toddler was pushing all my buttons and I felt like I used to be able to stay pretty calm about it (obviously not all the time but mostly). But I was starting to feel like I was going to explode…
I’ve read a few articles recently about where to go if you’re considering egg donation: stay in the UK or go abroad. As I’ve mentioned before, we took the option of using a clinic in Spain to find our donor and have the treatment and only have hugely positive things to say about that decision.…
