The Room Upstairs

Q: Which is more annoying when trying for a baby?

a - Having to watch friends on Facebook upload artistic pictures of their babies lying in baskets? (to be fair babies do look better in baskets)

b - Having to answer the question 'are you guys gonna try and get pregnant soon then?'

c - Having to accept the modern fallacy that infertility is a thing of the past thanks to IVF?

If you answered 'they're all bloody dreadful'' then you may well agree with Clem and Toby, who are finding that the roots of their own fertility struggles have been planted in the most ancient of soils …
