And just like that, it's 3 years on

 Holy crap guys! Where has the time gone?! Lockdown came and went. I now have a wonderful toddler running around.

Honestly, if I could go back to the IVF/ICSI/FET and postpartum me I'd tell her. "It all worked out." Because it really, really has. I've found myself in motherhood and grown confident in what works for me.

My daughter is an adorable, brave and inquisitive 3 year old. She absolutely adores nursery and she surprises me everyday. I cannot stress how much I love this age. Her wonder, her mind and her chubby toddler hands. Honestly, I just love and cherish her with all my being. 

She is gaining more independence which is bitter sweet. Still doesn't sleep through but that's something I've got use to. 

I am also now a working MILF. I love using my skills and having that time for me. It also allows me to have extra money to spoil her wrotten!


I had a lot of ideas on what a "great Mum" should look like. It wasn't til I listened to a podcast that Shay Mitchell was on that I realised something. To be a great Mum, I had to feel complete and happy in my life. Lead by example. It's no good running yourself into the ground and having nothing for yourself. You then have nothing to give to anyone around you, yet alone your own child.


I'm still by no means an expert, I'm still learning. But now I'm learning tondo things at my pace and on my terms. 


Love, 

Blue moon girl xx

Mosie Baby: An honest review

Image from Mosie Baby website On the sixth month of ttc desperation I started to look for anything to make the journey shorter. I researched my ass off and found some people use at home self insemination kits. They simply use their devices to swoop up the sperm and place it where it needs to be. Simple! Plus if I'm honest, the very frequent sex was beginning to get a bit boring. The fun and spontaneity had truly gone, it was a chore at times. A self insemination kit seemed like the easy solution for getting our sanity and sex life back while also still trying for a baby. So I did what any millennial does best, I googled the shit out of it. I saw some people used turkey basters, despite having one in the kitchen draw I decided this wasn't for  me. The thought of shoving a kitchen utensil up myself just wasn't appealing. The whole self insemination thing was strange enough on it's own for me.  I then found that some people also thought the turkey baster w

My Mad FET Diary: Entry Six; BFP

  17.3.20 7dp5dt- I think we may have done it guys…I think I might be pregnant! Yesterday I experienced period cramps, a headache and slight nausea. I put it down to giving up caffeine and told my husband to not get his hopes up because I was pretty sure we were out. I had period like cramps   last time and it wasn’t good news. So I was sure that I would wake up to see the red demon dancing in my pants soon. I was having a dream where I was sitting on a wall made of rocks at night, my dreams have been vivid. I told the random dream person “You know I feel a bit sick, I think I’m going to take a test when I wake up.” My husband’s alarm for work went off, I woke up and still felt sickish. I took the clear blue test expecting the stark white line to stay. As I prepared to bin it, a very slight line appeared. What the fuck. I stared longer, turned on the lights held it up looked again. Nope, a definite faint line. I ran in woke my husband up and dragged him to the loo “Do you see it?
