Fast forward to my 20s, I knew that something was off. In a long term relationship, I would often talk about my concerns about not being able to have children and I knew at some stage I wanted to run some private tests. When I met my now partner, very early on I made it clear that this was something I wanted to pursue and luckily for me, it didn’t scare him off.

And now, we have unexplained infertility. What does that even mean?

I honestly wish I had the answers, but not even science can help here. Despite so much advancement in technology and our understanding of fertility and sexual health, there is so much still unknown.

What I do know, is that I am one of them. I have been diagnosed with endometriosis, PCOS and adenomyosis. Though each of these things can individually impact fertility, I’ve been told that all of these are unlikely to be causing our issues. So we keep on pushing, trying to get answers and most of all, trying to grow our family.

As I have spent the last 2 years researching women’s health, infertility and reading medical journals to help us navigate through this and advocate for myself, I will be writing about our journey and sharing this information along the way. It may reach no one, or it may reach some, but I hope that it offers something to anyone faced with this. If like me, you become slightly obsessive and read everything under the sun relating to what you’re going through, then, I hope this finds you and sheds a little light.
