Conception

It took us so many cracks at making babies to conceive our wee Seahorse; a couple of years of ‘relations’ (as the conservative doctors here in the United Arab Emirates call sex between husband and wife) and exactly three rounds of assisted reproduction, seemingly endless sessions of acupuncture, and a complete overhaul of our lifestyles, is all it took Erroll and I before we could finally, and with some confidence, shout it out to our world, that indeed the Hartleys are PREGNANT!!!!

Pregnant by a hairs' breadth - and no one knew. At 9 weeks.

This is our journey into the unknown world that brings together medicine and hope, the dream of family and stark reality of clinical practice: our own take on fertility, that brought us to here…
