Miracles can happen...

[isitonlyadream]

Hi ladies and gents

Some of you may remember me from last year... I was here all the time and posting all of the time!!!

On the 25th April (2 weeks ago today) our little miracle arrived via c section.

Our first round failed back in may last year and we only had one frozen embryo... I had the FET cycle in august and found out on the 29th august that I was pregnant.

I had an amazing pregnancy with very little sickness but once I started feeling her moving the anxiety kicked in, everyday waiting to feel her moving and worrying if it was the same as the day before... had 3 visits for reduced movements but thankfully all was ok.

I had an elective section which went really well however I had unexplained bleeding from the wound so two days later had general and had to be reopened up to find and stop the bleeding. We are home now and she is just amazing. Very small and it's very scary having this tiny little person but so thankful everyday to have her in our lives.

When I started on this journey this site was my lifeline and you ladies were there to help me with all of my questions and I read posts pretty much 24 hours a day lol!!

IVF is hard and life changing but it's a gamble and no one can give you the odds of success... you've got to put all of your hope and faith and trust into strangers (and money in our instance) and just go with it

To all of you still in the circle I wish you all every success in the world xx

Hey Holly huge congratulations on her arriving safely, so happy for you 😊 Sorry to hear what you experienced afterwards, hope you're recovering well. Thanks for posting such lovely news and giving hope 😘 Xx

[isitonlyadream in reply to Georgina78]

Hi Georgina

Thank you. Hope you are getting on ok xx

[Georgina78 in reply to isitonlyadream]

I'm in between EC & ET so it's a tense time but feeling (slightly!) more relaxed than previous cycles (I think!) we're hoping it's 4th time lucky 🙏🏻 It's so lovely to hear positive news from ladies like yourself, gives a lot of hope as I remember you were thinking it might never happen as most of us probably do.

Wishing you a lifetime of happiness xxx

[isitonlyadream in reply to Georgina78]

Hi Georgina

Thank you... you too

Sending you so much luck and best wishes, let's hope it's 4th time lucky xx

[Hidden in reply to isitonlyadream]

I know it has been a while. I am good just started cycle 5 (2nd using DE) so fingers crossed this is the one xxx

[isitonlyadream in reply to Hidden]

Hi button

I'd popped on about a month ago and seen you are now onto DE... how exciting.

They are really seeing good results from fet cycles as the body doesn't have to go through so much... not sure how de works but wishing you all the best of luck and will hope you are posting your bfp anytime soon xx

This is lovely to read, and reminds us not to give up.

Thank you x

[isitonlyadream in reply to PB265]

Hi PB

Thank you ... honestly the amount of time I spent on here those first 6/8 months I just loved to read happy outcomes as it was like a ray of hope (especially when our first cycle failed) and showed me that ivf can and does work...

It's a numbers game and it's so hard but the outcome is so special

I wish you all the best on your journey

Holly xx

[72cloud9]

Ah that gives me such hope as we only have 1 embryo left to put back in a few weeks time so I'm feeling the pressure.thank u for this update and congratulations xxx

[isitonlyadream in reply to 72cloud9]

Hi 72cloud9

I was exactly the same... it was terrifying as we only had the one embryo and waiting for that call to say it had thawed ok was honestly one of the most nerve wracking mornings of my life...

But we got there somehow!!!

Wishing you so much luck with your little Frostie... keeping everything crossed for you

The fet cycle is a lot easier too 😄

All the best

Holly xx

[72cloud9 in reply to isitonlyadream]
