Hi

I've just joined this site, so hi original.gif Well, where do I start?

My story... 41, single and have decided it's time to have a baby (fingers crossed!). I'm one of those women that got caught up with career, travel and waiting for Mr Right whilst the years were passing me by. Even though I don't have a partner by my side, I have so much love to give a tiny human original.gif

I'm hoping to meet some awesome people here and hopefully get some support as I embark on my new journey. I'll be going through a donor programme - most likely staring in March.

Look forward to hearing from some cool people soon
