Profile Lifeslurper resides in a big brown land called Auuustralia. Her early years remain a mystery cloaked in a veil of depression.
Age 42 Lifeslurper meets the vague but gorgeous Wobbles. “What took him so long to arrive?” She asks.
They make their way together in the world just fine, but are not fine to make a baby – not without some outside help. Enter ART and 2008 the year of 4 IVF cycles & one lousy big fat negative.
Lifeslurper is now 47 years old! Time for a baby is running out fast, so too is her sanity. Now it's 2011 - Lifeslurper & Wobbles have moved into top baby making gear. Donor Egg Cycles are the way to go, after a long pause to take stock after a glorious donor egg BFP & the subsequent loss. This year saw 2 cancelled FET cycles, & and menopause causing delays.
Where to from here? After 10 cycles Lifeslurper & Wobbles now await their WobblyBub who is due in May 2012 - actually make that...um....*sigh*...what's the point?

Venturing to Big City, we made a quick sweep of Wobble’s favourite fresh food and produce market in the search of a variety of cheeses. Yes, my skinny Wobble does his best to remind me of my dairy intolerance which is laced with addiction and is now being avoided completely by this Lifeslurper. I could not see Journey Mum at the market, even though I was looking. We also toured our favourite bookstores, as what this household really needs is more books. Yes, we really do need more books, even though another house move is in order to find space for these voluminous tomes. [Note: Please help us…we have a serious book problem – both of us facilitating the other’s problem further by the bringing home of more and more books….]
As bit of a detour from our usual cultural outings, we journeyed to the huge semi-underground IMAX to see a 3D film. Which film you ask? Tron: the Next Generation Legacy Gate (or whatever it was called) was chosen by sci fi loving Wobbles. I cope with science fiction films marginally better than those of Wobbles’ usual war-related fare, but only just. Continue reading The Wobbletron Cycle
What place can a so-called ‘Brit pop’ band hailing from ‘Madchester’ possibly have on an infertility blog? Most certainly, there are no direct connections, but for a thousand other reasons there more reasons than I can possibly explain as to why feel the need to talk The Charlatans’ music right now.

One of the great things about driving out on the open road is being able to listen to great music. Long haul trips seem swifter when accompanied by the correct choice of music. Some selections of music take on a whole new meaning out on the highways and country back roads of this great big land. Long term favourite travel music is usually the Wurlitzer driven energy of The Charlatans, or the swirling rhythms of some great Celtic soul.
Recently, Wobbles slipped in a surprise selection; the ‘greatest’ hits of late 70s electronic cum New Wave music artist Gary Numan. Could he possibly have recorded enough material to release a greatest hits CD? I was having trouble remembering more than three hits from him or his early band, The Tubeway Army. I was certain that Wobbles would be the only person to have bought this compilation. The album was serving as our driving music on a short highway journey. Around the sixth track I was still to notice any discernable variation in the music or vocals. My head was thumping. This was not what I viewed as travelling music. I did the unthinkable and stopped a CD halfway, and made a silent vow to find out whatever happened to Gary Numan.
