This time the two-week wait didn’t seem to drag on for as long as before. Time hadn’t stood still. I knew I wasn’t pregnant, so I didn’t have to hold my breath for those 14 days. Instead, I went to stay with my brother and his family. On the 14th day, I noticed a pregnancy test in my bag and thought I probably should take it.

Hodder & Stoughton has acquired Liv's Alone by Liv Thorne,an"honest and hopeful memoir that captures the joy and the challenge that is parenting alone by choice". I do believe certain sperm banks prey on vulnerable women. I had a friend tell me they’d recently been quoted €45,000 for a single vial of exclusive-use sperm from a Danish clinic. I mean, that is pure robbery. These women are – in the best sense of this word – emotionally desperate and these clinics know they will likely spend everything they have to make their dreams a reality.
