I want to share my story as I had a very bad time getting pregnant . I had 8 years of infertility and never thought or imagined I’d get to hold my own baby .
After many tests at the age of 39 I was told I’d never get pregnant with my own eggs and I’d need a donor . This was after several ovulation kits, acupuncture etc. I had a laparoscopy to check my tubes and all was fine .
To cut a long story short I had 2 lots of ivf . this was after I had to accept the fact after miscarrying with the bad quality of my own egg my body produced and a failed ivf cycle this was my only option.
Any way I had a new donor .
My daughter Florence is the best thing I could have imagined . She looks like my hubby and smiles everyday .... never stop believing folks it will happen ...

It’s an absolute pleasure .... I understand infertility and I get what you are all feeling . But never ever give up ..... I recommend acupuncture too as we never relax on the path of trying to get babies xxx
She's gorgeous! Im going to Cyprus for donor in October im so scared. Im 40 and had 2 failed rounds of ICSI. You give me hope Xx
What a lovely photograph! Florence is beautiful and you look so happy. Thank you for your words too, you don't know how much they help! I'm hopefully having our third transfer next month (first 2 resulted in bfn and recent chemical) and during those really low moments when I'm questioning Whether this will ever work for us, this spurs me on to keep going thank you! X
Absolutely wonderful picture. Really reassuring for all to see here. Such a lovely thing to do, to post such an encouragingly happy outcome for you and your very beautiful Florence. Congratulations. Aw, gorgeous.
This is beautiful Leah! Florence is just gorgeous. I am 16 weeks pregnant using a donor egg after 3 IVFs using my own eggs - pregnant every time but always miscarried. Praying this is our rainbow baby. Your post makes me happy 💖
I believe hopefully with a donor egg it might just work for you honey . I was terrified throughout my pregnancy I’d lose her so know how you feel . Even up until the day before I had her . Try and keep calm and enjoy some pamper time . The fact your 16 weeks is so positive too ..... it really is . Keep positive and calm and I’m keeping everything crossed for you and for all the other mummies to be xx
It’s a pleasure . I’m glad it’s helped people too . It shows we should never stop believing . Sending you lots of positive baby vibes .... take care xxx
