I haven’t had the easiest of pregnancies- lots of spotting throughout & have felt on tender hooks. Ive been signed off work by the GP & told to bed rest. Even tho it was never heavy bleeding & never had abdominal pain it was unsettling seeing it and made it impossible to feel excited over this wanted pregnancy.
But today my fear was put to rest. The baby was measuring at 12 weeks 4 days- a day ahead of my dates. We got some lovely pictures & are so grateful we got our rainbow baby after so long!
Infertility is so difficult & feels at times like you will never get a baby. It’s the toughest challenge I’ve faced. This site kept me reasonably sane 😂to know I wasn’t alone & felt supported here. Know you are strong & can do this. It’s a battle but can be won 💪🏻 It’s brought hubby & I closer & I believe what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
I will enjoy reading you your updates on your journeys my fellow warriors 💪🏻Wishing each & every one of you all little miracles & hope you have a more plain sailing pregnancy than mine has been! ❤️❤️❤️ xoxo 😘
Really happy for you Jess. I have been praying and rooting for you and this baby. I am a continent away in the US and it's good to know that there are other people out there passing through the same. Since you became pregnant, whenever I see you posts, I always have my heart in my mouth praying that it's not bad news.
I am glad to know that that worry has finally been put to rest for you and for me too😁
Thats brilliant news 🤗 Was thinking of you today. Im so happy for you💖🤰🏻👍. You both deserve this news and now hopefully you can cherish this memory and help you think more positively going forwards.
I was given 2 days ahead of what i thought i was. So it wasnt too out.
Praying everyone out there that is pregnant to have a safe delivery and for those that are TTC for their miracles to happen so they too can experience what we are experiencing.
Take each day as it comes but with a smile and some positivity. x
Thank you so much. I hope all is going well with you xoxo 😘
Oh thats brilliant news Jess. So glad to read this. Onto the next phase. Well done on getting to 12 weeks xx

Oh yes I do! Scans are so nerve racking but so amazing to see the baby 😍 I said to the sonographer I can breath now 😂 let us know how it goes, sure it will be fine, but know it’s impossible not to worry! xoxo
I bet, but I’m sure it’s so hard not to worry, but good to know things are progressing well! Yes good thanks, sperm donor ordered and waiting for an appointment in January now! Thanks xxx
You won't believe it, I finally managed to get some help but from another hospital who booked me in for this Friday to have the test done after struggling so much to find somewhere and no help from my hospital.
Then later that day my hospital called and said, following the documents I provided and call from my doctor stating I'm not a smoker they are willing to accept this so I don't have to have the test anymore. Couldn't believe it!!!
I have an appointment for 12.12, all going good injections start on 14.12 and then go into next year Jan.
Awww congrats. This is great news. So happy for you. You always take time to reply to others when you have been going through this journey yourself. Try and enjoy it now if you can and keep us updated xx
Thank you for such a lovely reply. If it wasn’t for this site I don’t know if I would’ve had the strength to continue. How are things with you, hope you are okay? xoxo 😘
Thank you massively relieved! Really sorry to hear your donor let you down & hope you don’t have too long to wait till you find another donor. ❤️❤️❤️xoxo
Really sorry to hear that. It seems very unprofessional of the clinic to leave you dangling. Maybe sometime away from it all will do you some good. Focus on you. You can pick it up again at anytime.I had forced breaks with my surgeries & it really was nice to have a break. It can get too much at times. xoxo
Thank you so much. I hope you get this anaemia sorted & the thyroid & fibroid. It’s great it’s been unearthed. Having anaemia is horrendous, you will feel heaps better after taking ferrous sulphate 😘 Good luck for your appointment & let us know how it goes, everything crossed for you xoxo
Thanks Jess. Fibroid consultant said that in his opinion, we should just leave the fibroids alone as they are not impacting the uterine cavity in any way, close but not enough o cause long term problems with pregnancy or miscarriage. All I was told to take was vit D3 for the iron deficiency anaemia.
So pleased to read this (im an avid reader of posts... i just don't often say too much!).... but reading this really just made me smile!
I'm a week away from my 7week scan.... not enjoying it at all.... two bouts of very very light spotting... but all symptons (nausea/ fatigue etc) all keep happening... now doing another HPT every other day... just to check.. all seems ok.... but it's sooooooo hard (after previous early miscarriage after round 1)..... so have really been struggling.
But your news has given me hope! So massive congrats and thankyou! Xxxx
The spotting robbed me of enjoying the my first trimester. ☹️
I am so sorry for your loss too. I had a chemical pregnancy last year & I think that made us worth more with this pregnancy. ☹️ I did lots of pregnancy tests 🤣
You can spot & be okay, it’s common but awful when you see it ☹️It’s only if it’s you have severe abdominal pain with heavy bleeding that you should be concerned. The first question I was asked by the midwife was did I have pain & when I said no she said I’d be okay!
I really hope your 7 weeks scan can give you the reassurance you need. All the best with your pregnancy xoxo
You've hit the nail on the head... I've been robbed of the joy of it at the moment. (I feel awful saying it.... with the years over been waiting and wanting this you happen)....its just such an emotional rollercoaster.
Anyway. So pleased you've made it to 12 weeks! Wishing you all the best for your continuing pregnancy! Xxx
Don’t be like me & spend the whole timester worrying. I worried over something that never mounted to anything & I could’ve enjoyed being pregnant. Hopefully the 7 week scan can lay these fears at bay. xoxo
Fantastic news Jess! I’m totally delighted for you. I really hope you can now try to relax and watch your belly grow! All the best to you and your little growing bean! X
Thanks Jess- it will really be end of year- I’ll be able to do a urine test on 30th for result - or blood test on 28th- not sure I’ll want to make my way into town for test during the holiday time and then wait for results- might just wait for urine test myself. What did you do each time?
I did a urine test. It wasn’t IVF I had surgeries to treat endometriosis & then did a round of clomid. Pregnancy tests can be done as early as day of missed period. Personally I would find it difficult to wait in for blood test results, in too inpatient 🤣 I used clearblue conception pregnancy test day after the missed period with first urine & was able to pick up pregnancy both times ( one was a chemical pregnancy) Up to you must do what feels right for you. I hope it’s BFP xoxo
Thank you I’m touched. I put it up as I found success stories gave me strength to keep going. Hope is so important & at the end of our journey we had run out of hope of it ever happening. Your time will come & it will be worth it ❤️❤️❤️xoxo
Thanks, I really hope my time comes but still feels so far away. Reading about your difficulties gives me hope. You are a tower of strength. Keep us updated! Well done for being so strong and helping us all keep the faith! Xx
Big hug to you Jess, it is so true what you say about the journey. Currently at 8 weeks after so much pain and countless tears for my previous losses. I guess the scars will never heal but will hopefully be replaced by joy some day. I truly wish you all the best xx
Thank you. And congratulations. Sorry about your previous losses. I had a loss last year & it makes you worry more about the pregnancy.😢 Scans are scary but so hugely reassuring. Wishing you the best with your pregnancy 🤰🏼 I’m sure this is your time 😍🌈✨ xoxo
Congratulations to you - so very much deserved! I am just over 11 weeks and have my first appointment with a community midwife next week - my nausea is bad and so is the tiredness so have not enjoyed the first trimester much and getting quite worried about the screening tests. We will continue to look after ourselves as much as we can xx
Thank you. And congratulations to you. Your miscarriage risk decrease dramatically after 8 weeks so I’m sure you are out of the woods 😘 The scan will give you the reassurance that we will need, especially after this journey. Keep us updated zoxo
