Caro Townsend is a writer, survivor and advocate of all things infertility. After discovering medical science was required to have a family, Caro became fully ensconced in the world of fertility treatments. Multiple IVF cycles, a miscarriage, and an ectopic pregnancy later, she finally became a parent, thanks to a successful frozen embryo transfer. Caro is the creator of one of the UK’s top ten fertility blogs, and her award winning The Cuckoo Mama is an honest, open and compassionate account of her journey to parenthood and beyond. When she’s not writing, Caro spends her time walking the family dog, winging motherhood and working to break the silence which surrounds infertility and miscarriage.
