A little ray of hope?

[Mogwai_2]

I have found all the wonderful people on this site a huge support during my fertility battles.

I am so fortunate to be 5 months pregnant following a natural cycle FET immediately following a fresh IVF cycle missed miscarriage.

The baby from my first pregnancy is due in early May (2 days after my 40th) and I don’t know how I would cope with either without the gift of (all being well) being 5.5 months pregnant by then. All of you that have survived such milestones without such a gift are strong and should be proud of yourselves. It is a brutal journey.

While I want to share a good news story (fingers crossed) following a fertility battle caused by endometriosis, I feel guilty to do so too. I know only too well how heartbreaking this journey is, and how fortunate we are. Many experience journeys way worse than ours. My friend Clare has just had a second failed IVF cycle and I am absolutely devastated for her.

As the days go by the cloud that has hung over my life / my mood is finally lifting and I realise how fortunate I am simply to feel myself again - albeit a bit larger :0)

If I can get to this point, I know others can too and I wish you all the best in your journey and hope it will be over, with a happy ending, very soon.

Lots of love x
