The ache lives on 💗

[sarahlovs]

Good evening ladies, I hope you don't mind me cropping up.

I'm lying in bed wide awake, it's been exactly one year since I last posted on here. A year ago I was again lying wide awake, the reason being I had just had my first ever BFP. Our beautiful daughter was born in April, we are so so blessed to have such a precious gift.

So the last year has brought about quite a lot of change. But even still I have kept the Fertility Network Healthunlocked site open on my phone, never quite been able to let it go. Tonight I've spent some time browsing the posts, and the feelings and genuine ache deep in my soul still resonate to this day. I have sobbed away, I've shed tears for you all. I've also read my own posts - the same best friend I had a grumble about last year is pregnant again on the first attempt and how frustrating to keep hearing it 😐 I guess the infertility journey is a part of us and who we are, hence why we continue to respond in the ever-sensitive way to what is going on around us.

So I can't sleep because it's just niggling away at me that I sincerely want to send each and every one of you all of my love. My heart goes out in a million pieces to you all. You are all so inspirational and brave. You were there when I needed you. Please never give up hope and determination, your strength and courage is incredible.

Keep going.

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

Hi Sarahlovs. Well done on the safe arrival of your precious daughter. She will be so interesting now as she watches and learns from you both. Not long until her first birthday, I would imagine - enjoy! Diane

I’m so glad to hear if your success. Well done on your little girl. Thank you so much for your kind words. I only joined this site last month and am finding the support invaluable - finally a group of wonderful people who get how hard this journey is xxx

Hi, congratulations on your little girl.

I don't think the journey will ever leave you. I had my son in February & I still can't bring myself to leave this site. My story is different (secondary infertility) but this site helped me SO much - I don't think I could've got through it without the support of the amazing people on here.

I'm not on here as much as I would want & I'm sure there will be a time when I feel ready to leave but, for now, I read posts when I can & try & support others the way I was supported.

Good luck lovely xxx

Aaw that’s lovely! I wish I had found this site when I went through it all last time with my little one. So thankful I’ve joined this time around, it’s helped me so much!

Congratulations on the safe arrival of you little one. IVF babies are that little bit extra special aren’t they?! 💜 xxx
