Dear Brave IVF Survivor,
What if hope isn’t enough? What if peace feels like a distant illusion?
You are trapped in a loop of uncertainty—not knowing which way to turn. No matter how many hours you spend scrolling through social media, hoping and praying for answers, you still can’t move forward.
"Must I close this book and open a new one?"
“Is this normal?”
“Why me?”
These relentless questions consumed me too, and my doubts never quieted down. It never stops, and this world is all consuming.
I see you. I’ve been there. I lived your pain.
When you’re navigating the emotional and psychological turmoil of infertility—especially after repeated failed IVF attempts and the deeply personal decision of choosing Donor Egg IVF options—it can feel like you’re trapped between who you once were and who you might never become.
You are not alone. You are not broken. But I know it feels that way.
The journey through infertility isn’t just about medical procedures and endless appointments. It is a journey through an identity crisis. One I never expected. When I faced a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy, I woke up to a reality I couldn’t ignore.
I was caught in the tension between who I thought I was and the crushing fear of who I might never become.
Am. I. Ever. Going. To. Be. Okay?
Embracing "Eggceptance"
No one tells you how much infertility shakes your sense of self. The dreams you once held so clearly now feel like distant shadows. Every decision feels like a crossroad, yet no path feels safe. The endless 'what ifs' are deafening…
…and hope isn’t enough, and peace feels like an elusive hoax.
How do you move forward?
How do you make decisions when every choice feels impossible?
You don’t have to keep living in this limbo.
You don’t need another opinion, another expert, or another scroll session down the rabbit hole.
What you need is a way to quiet the chaos and finally hear yourself again.
The Transformative Power of Acceptance
This journey wasn't just about my body...
...it rewired my thinking, reshaping not only my personal life but also my business approach. Overcoming the impossible in life somehow enriched my professional life, teaching me to navigate the intricate dance between ambition and personal goals.
A full ten years, twelve months, and twelve days passed from researching IVF and donor eggs to holding my daughter. I can't guarantee you'll conceive...
...but I can promise, profound internal changes must precede external shifts.
There are so many processes you go through while going through treatment. But what about the process we go through to accept the “what-if’s”, the process before the treatment begins?
The process before the process...
...amid the diet changes, medical procedures, and countless examinations, we often forget to tend to our inner world – the thoughts which shape our experiences, which drives the actions we take and forms our behaviors.
Rediscovering Acceptance
Acceptance began with a pivotal question...
..."what if motherhood isn't in the cards for me...?"
This query marked the start of my journey towards acceptance and 'eggceptance.'
This shift was a game-changer, steering me towards a successful outcome. It all began with accepting the situation. Sometimes we can’t change our circumstances, but we can change the way we think about them and finally have the courage to move forward...
...and letting go!

You might wonder How I can Help?
Hello, I'm Elouise Cloete, a proud Donor Egg mom, and a survivor of life's storms. It's quite a journey that has led me to you and I'm genuinely glad that we finally get to meet.
I've been in your shoes...
...I was the one who found herself invited to endless baby showers, watching as friends and family around me announced their pregnancies. I'd put on a brave face and muster a fake smile when someone shared news of their third pregnancy, all while I was still praying for my first. I couldn't cry openly, but inside, I was a whirlwind of emotions...
...that gut-wrenching feeling made me believe I was the only person in the world experiencing such pain. I felt profoundly alone, with no one to talk to.
But what if there was a way to escape this emotional turmoil and run towards Acceptance, Forgiveness, and Courage...
...what if you weren't alone in this journey?
I help successful women navigate the challenges of infertility and explore alternative conception methods. My mission is to liberate them from the shackles of fear, anger, shame, and guilt, guiding them toward a place of Acceptance, Forgiveness, and Courage.
This transformation empowers them to grant themselves the permission they deserve to confidently move forward and let go of the one-dimensional picture they once held of motherhood.
I'm here to help you process your fears while showing you that what life has given you is a gift, not a curse. Remember, when life hands you 'lemons,' we can make lemonade together.
This resolution will infuse your choices and outcomes with newfound confidence and certainty.
I don't want you to go through the pain I did when I wasted so much time and energy fixating on external circumstances, delaying the necessary action to make my dream of motherhood a reality.
The fear I grappled with fueled anger, loneliness, and prevented me from granting myself the permission to let go and embrace the beauty that was already before me. I simply wasn't ready to see it.
So, I invite you to allow me to be your guide as you strive to summit your Everest.
Remember, you are not alone.
Warmly,
WTF! (Where’s The Finish…)
