Hi girls, sorry I haven’t been in due a while but I have been checking in every once in a while. I’m so delighted to see so many BFP’s and I’m so sorry for those who didn’t get their dream in 2017.

Just a brief recap myself and my OH been trying for 3 years. We have had 3 rounds of IVF. First one- positive- ended up ectopic and tube removed. Second- positive- lost it at 9 weeks. Third round , a BFN.

In September I was waiting for AF so I could do an endo scratch before we went for round 4.. but it never came, and to my utter amazement I found out I was pregnant.. naturally!! Which has never happened before!!

I have spent the last few months on constant knicker watch and just constantly worrying we would loose this one too..

On Thursday we had our 20 week scan and everything seems to be going really well and I just cannot believe we have gotten this far.

I know when I was struggling stories like this kept me going and I hope me sharing this news doesn’t hurt anyone but proves that you just don’t know where this crazy fertility journey dan take you. I know I still have another 20 to go but just always thought if I made it this far I would come on here and share my story.

I hope 2018 is the year when all your dreams come true ❤️❤️❤️

Went on holidays , had some wine , went back to my exercise classes and just didn’t really “try” that much with my OH, know sounds so cliche but we had just resigned ourselves to that fact we were about to start round 4! X

Wao, what a beautiful story you have. So, you conceived naturally after many years of trying. This happens with most of the women that they try for several years , adopt many methods, take a lot of medication, Try IUI and IVF and when they just leave everything, they get pregnant naturally. Miracles do happen in this world. The most important thing is that just hold on your faith and believe in miracles. Positivity is the key factor that keeps us going and gives us the required results. Everything has it's own time to happen. Just keep trying and praying. God is never deaf to our prayers. When He is silent, He is actually doing something for us. I know the process is hard but the end result is very beautiful. Again, many many congratulations.

I am so upbeat for you. we simply discovered the sex of our infant today. We decided on surrogacy when we discovered that I was totally barren, and today, our surrogate mother at long last had the ultrasound for the sex uncover!! its an infant young lady!! I feel so glad thus energized. I can hardly wait till these months are finished and I can hold my child in my arms. as of now, my significant other and I feel like there is nothing we could love more than our little girl. we have been over the moon since we discovered! we have been calling our family since morning, telling everybody the uplifting news!! in the event that there are any individuals out there feeling crestfallen or sad about their fruitlessness, I trust that my story will give you a little beam of expectation. there are numerous medications out there, thus a wide range of approaches to begin a family. a year prior, I couldn't have envisioned this would happen. that I would praise this way. be that as it may, we went out on a limb an and went for something eccentric. be that as it may, it is working so well for us.

Hi Raglee! Congratulations ! Its really amazing to know that after all that troubles of IVF you got to get pregnant naturally. There is no substitute to this happiness and you are very lucky. I wish you a healthy and successful birth. You rightly said that stories like yours always encourage others and give them hope that if it can happen with you so can it happen to them too. And I hope this year will be the year of all those who are TTC.

Hey sweetheart! I hope you're doing good. Omg, i'm so glad to read this post. You just depicted your whole journey as a motivational message for those who are trying so hard to conceive, but couldn't. You're an example for the motto, "Don't give up". You've been trying for three years to conceive, but couldn't. Then you chose IVF, most people are going for IVF and surrogacy if they can't have children naturally. The techniques are getting successful all over the world. It's sad that you didn't even conceive after three rounds. But you must have been very happy when you conceived naturally. It's a blessing that even after trying through artificial techniques, you got pregnant on your own. I know after waiting too much for a baby, you must be scared of losing him now. But don't let this fear get to your head okay? It's not good for you. If you've made this far then definitely you'll make it to the end. You're an inspiration to all those women here, who're struggling to conceive. And to you and to all the women having similar stories, I request you to share your stories here. May you have much more happiness than this. Much Love!
