Discover Genesis 18:10 - Our journey to parenthood

Keep talking about your experience - it helps!

Welcome to Genesis 18:10 - Our journey to parenthood, my very own personal story of trying for a baby, discovering infertility problems and going through IVF to realise our dream of becoming parents. I have found help, support and comfort in my faith through Bible studies, prayer and words spoken to me from God himself. This blog is a very real and raw account of mine and my husband's journey. I hope if you are reading this you know that you are not alone. 1 in 6 couples struggle with fertility. This is just one story.
