Welcome to Me, Myself and IVF Blog

I’m Louise, writing from Australia.

As a single woman navigating IVF with a donor, and now motherhood, this blog is where I share parts of that experience as it unfolds.

When I first started considering IVF, I wanted to understand each step clearly and hear from people who had actually lived it. At the time, I didn’t personally know anyone who had been through IVF, either as part of a couple or on their own. Reading others’ stories and listening to podcasts helped me feel less isolated.

I hope this blog offers that same sense of connection.

Journalling began early on, as I moved through IVF. It became a way to slow things down and work through decisions as they came up — both practical and personal. Over time, it became something I relied on, and it formed the foundation for much of what you’ll find here — not as a guidebook, but as a real account of what this path can look like.

You’ll find posts that cover both the practical and reflective sides of IVF, pregnancy and motherhood — from specialist appointments and donor selection to funding options, treatment and life after birth.

IVF doesn’t always move in a straight line. There are moments of progress, pauses, and repetition, and along the way it often brings up thoughts that extend beyond treatment itself. Here, I explore those moments as they unfold.

Alongside writing here, I’ve also created practical resources inspired by my own experience. They’re designed to help you work through decisions, organise your thoughts, and move through IVF with more clarity. You can explore them using the menu above.

I’m glad you’re here. I hope my experience helps in some small way, whether you’re considering or moving through IVF, pregnancy or early motherhood.

With love,
Louise 🌸❤️
