Just wanted to share my story to give hope to others in a similiar situation. I am 32, married and have been trying for a baby for 8 years in Sept. I have PCOS and unexplained infertility. Last year I went through 2 failed rounds of IVF within a 6 month period. This had a negative impact on my mental health and in November I took 5 weeks off work due to depression. I went back in January after starting beginners yoga, a mindfulness workshop and rejoining slimming world. I lost 2 stone and for the first time in a long time started to really look after myself. We have one frozen embryo but had decided to delay our third cycle until the new year. I am working full time and just coming to the end of a masters degree. Last week we moved house and bought a new car we also found out we were pregnant - naturally! Today I had an early scan (6 weeks) and saw the heartbeating. I know we all hate it when people say, 'it will happen when the times right' or 'just relax and it will happen' but maybe there is a glimmer of truth in it?? I had pretty much given up on ever being a mammy and I know ive got a long road ahead yet but I'm just so grateful and wanted to give others a little hope xx
