In reply to Bree.

Eggs! Eggs, eggs and more eggs! Like treats like – good quality follicules (aka women’s immature eggs) are imperative for maintaining great reproductive health. Adequate protein in all forms is essential – legumes, beans, chickpeas, yoghurt, eggs – assuming you aren’t vegan.

That is FASCINATING re: the pill!

You say to eat lots of protein – what do you recommend for vegetarians?

Your statement that ‘the pill alters our normal hormone rhythm, it also alters our bodies ability to be attracted to an appropriate fit’ needs to be made more widly known. I’d love to hear more about it as I rub shoulders with young women wanting to take the best possible care of their bodies.

There is so much more to being a mother than the process of falling pregnant. Sami’s life will be a journey throughout this process and also after she has her little one. It was a long journey for myself with failed attempts at falling pregnant for over 2 years. I was booked into IVF, and ironically fell pregnant a week before starting the IVF program. Now after having 2 little people I find myself a single parent. Sometimes when we have a partner falling pregnant is not easy, and I was at that stage in my late 20s.

I am very blessed to have 2 beautiful children, and I also agree with Sami, she does have the rest of her life to find mr right. And she will soon find out that being a mother will fill a hole for her. She has every right to fill this hole, as do any other women, be it high profile or not. I hope that her journey is smooth, and she is able to have her baby.

I was also adopted. There are many ways that Sami can have herself a baby! I too wish her all the best.
