Reproductively Challenged: December 2008
http://reproductivechallenge.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 17 December 2008. I have made it to the end of term with my sanity still reasonably intact. The flood of anxious emails has slowed to a trickle, and I at last have time to breathe, to think and to write. On the pregnancy front, I am now a little over 22 weeks (although the bloody maternity jeans still won't stay up! In comparison with these somewhat idealised descriptions, my own experience of pregnancy has felt far more replete with anxiety. In the session before we went for the 20 week scan,...

Reproductively Challenged: April 2009
http://reproductivechallenge.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 29 April 2009. Little Miss Heathen finally came into this world at 4.16 on Sunday morning, weighing in at 7lbs 10 and a half ounces. She was delivered via emergency Caesarean section a mere fifty three hours after my waters broke (my birth plan had by that stage pretty much gone out of the window! Links to this post. Thursday, 16 April 2009. Better Out Than In. This seems a small price to have to pay for what seems a far more personal and homely experience. So now, all we have to do is wait.

Reproductively Challenged: December 2010
http://reproductivechallenge.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, 24 December 2010. Twas the Night Before Christmas. Four years ago, I spent Christmas Eve curled up on the bedroom floor in floods of tears at the thought that I might never get to fill a stocking for my child, or eat the mince pie he or she had left out for Father Christmas, or watch his or her face as s/he opened her presents. Three years ago today, I started my first cycle of IVF. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Other Infertility Related Blogs.

Reproductively Challenged: Snippets
http://reproductivechallenge.blogspot.com/2010/06/snippets.html
Thursday, 17 June 2010. I went back to teaching part-time after Christmas. Shinejil. Is right. It is extraordinarily difficult to juggle motherhood and academia. Fitting in all the preparation and marking nearly did for me. But I also learnt that, much as I love being a mother, I also need to think, and write and teach. Could I maybe try cross-posting from time to time? How might it feel to maintain two blogs? If I am going to start a new blog, should I stick with blogger, or maybe try wordpress? It is s...

Reproductively Challenged: A sharp reminder
http://reproductivechallenge.blogspot.com/2009/05/sharp-reminder.html
Monday, 18 May 2009. 18 May 2009 at 19:32. But, you've come out the other side. Enjoy it. 18 May 2009 at 21:48. It's amazing what can set off the powerful, miserable associations. So glad you're home, healing, and enjoying your daughter. 18 May 2009 at 22:16. Glad you are home and healing, too, and wishing you many such quiet moments to reflect on your journey so far and your future with your daughter. 19 May 2009 at 03:34. 19 May 2009 at 13:23. It's remarkable how deeply the infertile experience cuts.

Reproductively Challenged: January 2009
http://reproductivechallenge.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 7 January 2009. Infertility has made me feel a failure - as a woman, as a wife, but also as a daughter. Yet somehow the sheer weight of their expectations continues to press heavily upon me. Even at 25 weeks, I find it difficult to believe unconditionally that there will be a baby at the end of this process. While everyone around me makes plans, I am still very much living from moment to moment of this pregnancy. Links to this post. Friday, 2 January 2009. In which Mr H puts his foot in it.

Reproductively Challenged: Ghostly patterings
http://reproductivechallenge.blogspot.com/2011/08/ghostly-patterings.html
Saturday, 20 August 2011. About a month ago, Mel wrote a post. Which has haunted me ever since. She addressed the phenomenon of what she called 'ghost blogs':. I hope that, if there is anyone out there still following, you will come and see me over at http:/ ifsbutsandmaybes.wordpress.com/. Where I try to work out what led me to step away from blogging, and also what's brought me back. So nice to see a post from you pop up in my Google Reader, Ms. Heathen! Off to check out your new digs. Bee in the Bonnet.
