We began trying for a family shortly after getting married back in 2006……

I fell pregnant 2 months later but unfortunately this ended in a miscarriage and our story began. It culminated a decade later with the arrival of my first daughter at the age of 38, after a natural conception. 18 months later I had my second daughter who was also conceived naturally. Along the way, I experienced recurrent miscarriages and underwent 3 rounds of IVF.

After our 1st miscarriage, we tried for a further year before seeing our GP.  We were referred for further investigation. We were diagnosed with ‘unexplained infertility’ but years later I now know that it was probably more like ‘unexplored infertility’. Scans showed polycystic ovaries and also a fibroid, which wasn’t big enough to warrant its removal. My husband’s semen analysis wasn’t ideal and I remember we had a little giggle about being told that some of them were a little funny looking and swimming in the wrong direction! We were referred for IVF and although I fell pregnant with all 3 rounds, they all ended with miscarriage around 10-11 weeks, which was utterly heartbreaking.

During this time, I was working full-time as a Paediatric Dietitian in a busy NHS hospital — surrounded each day by babies and children — I was quietly facing recurrent miscarriages, IVF cycles, and the silent heartbreak of it all. With no space to share my feelings with someone who truly understood, I learned to bottle things up and carry on. Eventually, the emotional strain led to a diagnosis of depression. That chapter shaped me in ways I couldn’t have imagined — deepening my empathy and planting the seed for the support I offer today.

After taking a short career break to spend time with my daughters, I retrained as a Fertility Coach. I firmly believe that the shift in mindset and self-care played a vital role in helping me conceive naturally. Stepping back gave me clarity — and now, I guide others through the same maze with compassion, clinical insight, and unwavering support. I offer a safe space where you can feel heard, understood, and informed throughout your own fertility journey.
