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?

I also have the challenge of facing critical reactions as well. Overall, this blog has been a positive thing and certainly helps me to feel less alone in my infertility and in the world generally.

Alive and slurping!

Lifeslurper returns!

 

This surely must be the greatest news to ever hit the blogosphere!

 

This blog started its short-lived first life stuck together with a used band-aid, a rusty paperclip and Lifeslurper’s best intentions. Clearly this was not enough. Fittingly it all fell apart within a matter of days.

 

Weeks on, the Lifeslurper blog is back!

 

It has taken much angst, hair-pulling and bewilderment. Many prayers have been said, numerous swear words (like “flipperty heck!”) uttered, and countless shout-outs for assistance set free out across cyberspace.
