This is a post about naff all. Seriously. Nothings happening at the moment. A week past Aunt Flo waiting to begin testing again. Ah the joys. On the plus side the sun is shinning and I’m having a lot of fun with designing these so... I hope it perks up your day. What ya’ll up to today? . . . #nothingshappening #sunshineyday #ttc #keeppositive #keepgoing #icijourney

I thought long and hard weather to comment on the vote from Friday but silencing opinions does nothing for moving forward. I’m proud of what Ireland has done in the past 5 years. Equal marriage by popular vote (the only country in the world that’s adopted it that way) and now repealing the 8th. Women are so important; their lives are important, their love is important and their experiences are important. Taking away women’s rights is fundamentally wrong. Full stop. It’s perhaps a juxtaposition on a ttc insta but I will always support a woman’s right to choose, after all we’ve CHOSEN to start a family and if my wife’s life were at risk I would CHOOSE to put her first, without a doubt or a pause. They’re our choices and I’m so proud that Ireland will allow other women to choose what’s right for them. . . . #repealthe8th #ireland #prochoice #forwardtogether #strongertogether #yes #isupportyou #righttochoose #legislatenow #northernireland #westminster

Anyone who loves Netflix’s series Big Mouth will understand where I’m coming from when I say the last week I’ve been living with a hormone monster. The diet, the stress, the ups and downs and Aunt Flo mean that I’ve not even bothered waking on egg shells and have taken to living on the sofa permanently (and yes, that is also unacceptable!) But things are calming down now that our aunt isn’t with us so it’s back to peace and harmony... almost! . . . #lovemywife #peaceandharmony #icijourney #ttc #ttccommunity #ttcireland #ttcuk #hormonemonster #bigmouth #netflixandchill #iwish

Apologies to anyone that got severe brain trauma from the last post! This one is about my favourite subject food! Last night we went to Sainsbury’s and got another bill for £100, spending money like water but it’s expensive eating healthy. This is a kale, spinach and beetroot juice smoothie with a whole banana, kiwi, blueberries and flaxseed thrown in for good measure. Yummy. . . . #fertilityfood #icijourney #fertilityjourney #smoothie #juice #healthyfood #kale #spinach #fruit #breakfast #leafygreenswitheverymeal

Jinkies that’s a lotta Scooby snacks. Covers us for two more tries though and we’ll worry about 4th try + later! $$$$€€€€££££££ . . . #ifiwerearichman #jinkies #moneymoneymoney #icijourney #homeinsemination #itsonlymoney #yeouch #makingmyeyeshurt

Whenever times got a little tough in the past we’d always go “sod it, let’s book a holiday” and being both employed and having no dependants (besides our deaf cat) we’ve always been able to do that all the way through our twenties at least twice a year. We’ve been to Lanzarote, Salou, London (3 times) Edinburgh (3 times), Rome, Donegal, Dublin, Glastonbury festival (twice) and last year drove around upstate New York for a lot of R&R. I really, really want a break but I know we can’t afford it. This is a new era and it forces me to prioritise longer term goals over short term gains. Being an adult sucks. At least we have a mountain of beautiful pictures to look back on and seeing pictures of all your beautiful children help us to focus on our goals. It’s pretty tough resisting reverting to our old impulsive ways though! . . . #dreams #broke #wantaholiday #ttc #longtermgoals #savedontshop #hateadulting
