Über diesen Titel

No Straight Lines is a conversation led by married couple Eleanor and Jacky - founders of aloomah, an online community built for anyone navigating the ups and downs of fertility.


After years of our own fertility journey, we realised how rarely people really talk about it - especially the stuff that hurts, confuses, or leaves you feeling alone.


This space is about breaking that silence. We're sharing our own story, the stuff we wish we’d heard sooner, and chatting with people who’ve helped us along the wa - from friends to experts.


It’s honest, raw, sometimes heavy, sometimes hopeful.


Because not every path is straight. But that doesn’t mean you have to walk it alone.

  • Hyperemesis, Bulimia & The Pregnancy We Didn’t Expect to Survive - Jess & Harry

    Hyperemesis, Bulimia & The Pregnancy We Didn’t Expect to Survive - Jess & Harry
    Mar 24 2026

    We sit down with Jess and Harry to share a fertility journey that didn’t go how they expected.


    After months of trying, Harry received a poor fertility test result, adding another layer of uncertainty and loss of hope. As they prepared for IVF and a fresh start abroad, Jess then fell pregnant naturally…but that wasn’t the end of the struggle.


    Jess experienced Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), being sick up to 16 times a day and needing hospital treatment, while also navigating her mental health and past struggles with bulimia.


    This is an honest conversation about the side of fertility and pregnancy people don’t talk about.


    The physical toll, the mental strain, and the reality behind the “happy ending”.


    They now have a beautiful little girl, but getting there was anything but simple.
