This morning I woke to the ever so annoying pain of my period, but instead of cringing and complaining of the pain of it, I was excited and a little scared. The reality of ‘Day one’ has struck! Who would have thought ‘Day one’ would have so much meaning? The words ‘Day one’ just make me want to sing an Alanis Morissette …

Yesterday was a BIG day! We had 4 appointments booked and in-between each was about an hour to kill! The day started with a counselling session with the Fertility Psychologist! This was the one we were least looking forward to. K and I had had a session with her last year when K donated her eggs to friends of ours who were having fertility problems. …
My parents have just returned home after a weeks visit with K and I. Not sure how, but I somehow survived past day two with them without going insane and losing the plot. I managed to take a week off work, which of course I’m suffering for now, but it was nice not to have to do anything even though it was hard to restrain myself from working sometimes. …
We still have over a month before our next IVF Clinic appointment, in which we choose from the donor list! It’s good in a way as it’s given us a bit more time to save our pennies, but it just seems so far away. I feel the biological clock ticking everyday, and just want to get started. There are all these signs around me reminding me of …
Wow what a week! It’s been unbelievably crazy. I have had 5 auditions in the past 7 days! This never happens! I even had one for a lead in a big budget (for Australia) feature film! Crazy! It’s also been K’s birthday and there is nothing I love more than spoiling her on this special week. Unfortunately this has meant I’ve not …
Last night I did a radio interview with the gorgeous Ginni on Her Society. The interview will hit the airwaves on Saturday night between 6 and 7pm. You can also listen to the pod cast on their website, for those who are not in Australia. I’ll post it on the blog when it’s available. Ginni was wonderful and helped me to get over my nerves….I …
I’m sitting in a gorgeous little cafe in Drummoyne eating a pie and drinking a perfect coffee, post IVF appointment, waiting for K to get her tooth extracted! I should be working but thought I’d write a blog post instead seen as I’ve been so slack lately! Our IVF appointment went well – I guess! All my results indicate that I’m …
But really I don’t want to cry! It’s just another year older and closer to 40! Some good news this week though, apparently my DNA test has come back negative – so I don’t have any genetic diseases that I’m likely to pass down to a child. My next IVF appointment has been pushed out to the 10th of July as I’m shooting …
A few wonderful things happened the last few days, but of course with the good you get the bad. There’s always got to be a balance. The balance of my career and my desire for starting a family has always been struggle for me. One has to be sacrificed. As an actor, you have to take any opportunity that comes your way, as they don’t come that …
So I got a notification today to say that my Saliva DNA sample had finally arrived at it’s destination. It only took a week! I guess my paranoia came from the fact it only took one day for the kit to arrive at my house after ordering it, so I expected the same in return. But I have since realised that the kit came from an address in Australia, …
