Vickie & Michael’s blog

Married and Childless

About Us

We are a married couple in our 50’s who have travelled the infertility journey, it was not a success for us, it was tough but we made it through. What we did realise was the value of the shared experience and this is our way of giving back to those that feel alone on their journey and are looking for some hope.

Our blog will be raw and at times quite sad, but what we want you to see is there is a life after one of the hardest things we have had to endure.

Please join us and share with those that you feel might need some inspiration and hope.

Our warmest regards

Vickie & Michael

I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of the childless and childfree conundrum of late and in my opinion what I’ve discovered is very worrying.

The atmosphere changed as these young mothers and fathers came to grips with their new roles. Mothers finding comfort in each other as they muddled through caring for their first born. Fathers contemplating with each other the change to their lives and wives, over a beer on the drive way, except us.

Our time was spent on the IVF treatment roller coaster, buoyed by the Dr’s ‘You have an 80%’ chance, of success at your current age’.
