Hi, I'm Stacey, mum to a beautiful toddler conceived through sperm donation.
I talk about my fertility journey to solo motherhood by choice and the daily challenges of raising a toddler in todays society.
If you are considering this journey or have donor conceived children I hope you find my discussions and experiences helpful
If you are a toddler parent I stand in the chaos in solidarity with you!
Welcome to the Diary of a Solo Mum
The term solo parent is becoming more popular in recent years, in part due to the increasing profile of donor conception. It has also become a preferred alternative to single parent as the latter comes with social stigma and stereo types.
Maybe that is why I prefer to use the term solo parent to describe my family situation, I made a conscious decision to have Savannah on my own.
There are a number of family structures and this episode talks through the terminology you may hear in modern motherhood.

The Other End of IVF
IVF can be a very daunting prospect and there is a lot of information and resources available around the IVF process, from drugs and stimulation to embryo testing and transfer, but there is little discussion on what happens when the IVF Journey comes to an end.
While it is a fortunate and privileged position to be in, having unused embryos creates a dilemma which is not often talked about. While those embryos will not be transferred many people have an emotional attachment and find it difficult to let go of them.
In this episode I discuss my journey and those of friends who have been faced with the decision to pay for another year of storage or not.
