I hope this ok to post without wanting to cause upset; I’m a Granny.

Hi everyone.

I hope this isn’t seen as upsetting because it’s not what want to do. I consider you all my friends.

I wanted to share some happy news my son and his girlfriend have had their son Harry in the early hours of the morning.

It has been quite difficult as Harry was due 10 days after our baby would’ve been 😭 but myself and Oli have supported them both 😘My son whose now 19 had surgery on his testicles at 13 and was told his fertility was highly reduced and would need to consider IVF/ICIS this devastated me because I know the pain infertility. Anyway I guess reduced fertility doesn’t mean no chance and little Harry was born at 4.15 am and both Mum and baby are doing well. I’m very excited to meet him ❤️My son thought he may never have a child so he’s thrilled to bits and I’m happy for him he’s going to be a great Dad ❤️ I hope this gives hope to those who’ve been told they’ve got reduced fertility and are very unlikely to conceive ; never say never! xoxo

I bet feels very surreal, bless him really pleased he's got his miracle. 💙

Enjoy being a granny hun. Hopefully soon will be your miracle💝

I'm not bad sickness has come to bite me back hard and got dating scan tomorrow so a nervous wreck

💝😘

When Hannah was pregnant he said I couldn’t fall and have our children in the same year at school mum because that’s too weird!!!! 😂😂😂

We are trying for the first time since the surgery and using clear blue monitor to give it our best shot. The location of endometriosis hopefully shouldn’t affect fertility ;always have the lap to fall back on🤞🏻I saw the doctor and I’ve been given mefenamic acid as well as tranexamic acid hopefully both taken together will sort the periods out. She also advocating trying as it’s such a long wait. 😘

Can they do anything for morning sickness? I thought that went in the first timester? I’m sure baby is fine; I think the symptoms are proof of that but I can understand the nerves and know I’d be the same. Good luck for tomorrow 😍 xoxo

Ha ha. Yes I understand his concern bless him 💙

Awww that's really good they've reassured you and that they've gave you meds to help with periods hope they help hun, really wishing you all the best with ttc just try to enjoy it and don't put to much pressure in yourselves. 💝😘

Iv already had three lots of meds the thing is, my symptoms really subsided 2 weeks ago these past three days iv been really bad yesterday I even threw up in asda car park felt so shame, all day was being sick iv checked my urine for ketones and thankfully none so that's a positive. What worries me is my ferritin is already low due to sickness and how on earth will baby be getting what it needs with me not eating right it really worries me I was crying last night throwing up couldn't keep anything in my stomach. Sorry for the moan. Hopefully things are OK find out tomorrow either way. Thanks hun

💝💝😘

in reply toAllWeNeedIsluv

We can’t have children in the same year now!

I know I have many options. I’m hoping that’ll put less stress on it 😱worst case scenario I’ve got a lap with an endo specialist which isn’t a million miles away and not a bad option.

It’s not moaning; it’s concern. Hannah was very badly anaemic.; she was close to having blood transfusions it’s was getting that bad they even talked about inducing her early because of it. My late Gran had the the iron injected as she couldn’t absorb the iron properly; have they offered you that? What has the midwife suggested? xoxo

Yes that's all sorted for him now no need to feel weird now bless him.

Hopefully it will it's good to know you've got a plan sorted either way and their there to support you and sort you out either way it just makes life that bit easier.

They've give me ferrous suplhate 200mg twice a, day. They'll redo my bloods at 16 weeks if I get that far and take it from there. It's draining I'd love to just eat properly but it's not happening. Iv never been so off food

💝💝😘

in reply toAllWeNeedIsluv

How often are they doing your bloods? With me I have mine every 3 months but I’m not pregnant.

Can you eat little and often? Sounds pretty awful poor you. ☹️Maybe have a few healthy snacks to pick at till this dies down; it will do. And you will have this baby missy ok 😘 All the best with the scan I hope that it reassures you 😍 Look forward to head your happy update later 😃 xoco

Well I had mine after my loss in Jan then they did again at my booking app, the sickness is what's caused it it's scared the life out of me.

I guess they'll do it next month and if it's not improved they'll administer in a different way.

Yesterday every hour I ate fruit and had cheese pasta salad and nuts I felt sick all day but managed to keep it down thankfully I hope this was just a little phase that come back. Mily research midwife said it can come in waves.

Thanks hun for the support 💝💝😘😘

Congratulations! Enjoy being around your grandson. I think it must be the best of both worlds. You get to cuddle and hold him as much as you want but give him back when he starts crying or when you want to go to bed 😂

in reply toLynnr54

Haha definitely 😂😂😂Thank you. Harry is very special to us 😍💝 xoxo

Oh wow Jess, that's wonderful news (but surely you're not old enough to be a granny!)

Congratulations to your son and his partner. Xx

I’m ok thanks lovely, yes I did I’m waiting for my letter for new appointment. Had my first acupuncture session, tbh the best money I ever spent! Already feel so much better. How are you? ❤️xoxo

in reply toAnna00

That’s good then. A new set of fresh eyes might be really beneficial ❤️ glad you enjoyed the acupuncture. Treating yourself on this journey is so important ❤️

I’m good thank you starting my first 2ww since my second laparoscopy. Ekk!!! 🤪

Anna00 profile image
Anna00 in reply to

Can’t wait to see my new dr, hope he’s good🤞🏻

What you mean by 2ww? U had ET after your lap? 😳❤️😘

in reply toAnna00

No. We are just trying naturally ; as the endo has been treated hoping we can fall again naturally ( we conceived last time after the lap but miscarried) I’m lucky apart from endometriosis everything else is fine. The 2ww is the two week wait between ovulation and next period.

I’m sure he will be. Let me know when you get your appointment 😘xoxo

Anna00 in reply to

Fingers crossed you’ll fall again at least you know you can convince naturally which is good. I’m hoping I get my ovulation back my acupuncturist said she can help me with that, I booked my next two sessions with her,hopefully I can see the result soon.

Sure I will. it’s near 2 weeks don’t know why I didn’t get my letter, I’m going there on 14th anyway I have another appointment,if I don’t hear from them by then I’ll ask to speak with one of the nurse xoxo 😘
