On Friday, I had a hysteroscopy. It was the final test that the NHS will offer us in our investigations into the recurrent miscarriages. It didn't give any answers.

I’ve really enjoyed reading all these wonderful posts and discovering more about these lovely ladies. And I’d hate to be left out. I know that I am late for the party but I thought that I would gatecrash anyway. Allons-y! The mummy tag 1. Are you a stay at home mum or a working mum? I am a stay at home mum…
