So after six years of ttc and two cycles of icsi and a miscarriage 18 months ago our daughter was born one week ago at a healthy 8lb 11oz. She is just gorgeous.
It's been such a road to get here with a huge amount of stress and anxiety, a year ago I could barely function as a human being for feeling so utterly hopeless and empty. Last Mother's Day was a particularly sad and desperate as I didn't think I had the strength to ever try again.
The worst bit was funnily enough the BFP. The journey from BFP to about 25 weeks was awful, that feeling of terror yet not feeling justified to complain as I had what I wanted technically. But the weeks passed and we got there in the end.
I have received amazing support here in this community and wish you all so much hope, luck and peace at whatever stage you find yourselves at.
Much love xx

Ps. Since getting my bfp I totally understand what you mean; being pregnant is the most worrying time throughout my whole journey! I just hope that my story has a happy ending such as yours 🤞🤞🤞 x
Good luck you. It's so hard to invest and enjoy the pregnancy, I felt quite robbed. It was hard to keep positive, especially when you don't feel like you have any right to complain when struggling. But you're doing it Mrs so keep going one day at a time xx
Thank you 😊 I'm far from ungrateful. I just can't relax. Some days I don't even feel pregnant. Other days I feel ropey as hell. I'm still taking a test every morning to see those two lines (internet cheapies). I don't know what I'd do if it was getting lighter; probably have a breakdown.
This is why it's so important for women to share their happy endings on here, to give us all hope xx
You're clearly doing this and so far so good. Just so hard to invest. This is a brand new pregnancy and the chances are you'll be fine.
I had a private scan at 9 weeks to reassure then went for my 12 week scan where the sonograoher said 'oh I see you had a scan at 9 weeks so we know it's all fine so can do this quickly'!! I looked at him completely stunned, but it did show up how I had every chance it would be fine.
Really rooting for you, feel free to pm if you need a chat or rant xx
Aww thank you, that's a nice offer. I have an 8 week scan on Monday which my clinic offered me as a bonus sort of scan before signing me off. Fingers crossed all is well 🤞🤞🤞 xx
Hi Daisy14. Well done you! After such a struggle including a miscarriage along the way, you've finally got there. Take loads of photos as she will change so quickly. Give her a gentle hug and a kiss from me! I'm thrilled! Diane xx
Congrats!!! 😊😊😊 I can totally relate to your post, the BFP is just the beginning, the journey of pregnancy after loss and hardship to get there is tough but I am sure it's all worth it in the end xx fantastic weight, enjoy your bundle of joy xx
Thank you! I just feel so lucky and stunned. After so long trying and at 38 years old I was starting to lose hope.
We had an issue with low sperm count so had ICSI. The second cycle was much better although I was a lot less anxious and a bit removed from it. On the second I did up my protein in my diet so lots of eggs, protein shakes and meat. Had more and better eggs but couldn't say for certain.
Thanks lovely. Hope you're doing ok. I see to remember it's been your due date recently and know how hard that must have been. Wishing you all the luck in the world xx
It was amazing to know that finally you got your bundle of joy....Congratulations.....this is really tough n emotional journey but the final happiness overshadows every painful days....
This is amazing feeling, being a mom is the best thing in the world. You deserved all theses. Your years of struggling and expectations have been rewarded.
I wish a bit jealous. I'm just in 2ww, i couldn't get pregnant for a long time. After several failed IUI and ivf we finally decided to make a huge step.
the biggest my fear is not to see the second line on my blue one. I'm so worried about it.. anyway, best wishes from me to you and your little sunshine
