I'm currently sat here, celebrating an almost solid 3 hour sleep at 5 o'clock in the morning, reading through your stories.

4 days ago we were given the greatest gift in Megan who was born at 6lb 7oz on Thursday 13th December. It has been a very long road but we have finally reached the end point.

Please don't give up. I know how hard it is every month when AF turns up. It used to set me back every month and I would have at least 2 days where I would recoil into myself and go into a depression. I also know how hard it is to feel happiness for others when they share baby news or when you see a pregnant woman while shopping. I would envy them so much but who knows how long it's taken them to get to that point or what they've had to do to get there.

I want to wish every single one of you all the best, and the very best of luck for whatever journey lays ahead. This community is such a fantastic support ❤ xxx

Congratulations and what a beautiful baby!

Lovely post and you're so right - we don't know what journey others have gone through and we all have our own path to follow- trying to compare to others is futile even if difficult not to(!)

I'm soooo overjoyed for all the wonderful news on here and so hopeful that one day it could work for us too.

But my heart literally breaks every time someone loses their baby, or gets a turn of events for the worse.

My hubby wants me to come off the forum and concentrate on myself for the tww so that I don't get upset and start worrying myself - but never !!!

This forum has been such a revelation and my sanity and I hope even if I can give the slightest bit of support to someone else I will try my best xx

I went to see my friend yesterday (who had her iVF baby in august) and went through 2 months of hell in hospital after. We have so much to be grateful for!

Good luck with the holidays and getting some sleep!! Enjoy your precious one xx

Couldn't agree more, it's so hard to not compare!

I've just seen that your OTD is Christmas eve! EVERYTHING is crossed for you and happy news. I will be sure to keep an eye out 😊

I understand what your husbands saying but it's so nice to have a place where everyone is in the same or a similar position to you. Somewhere that you can ask a question and get almost instant support from people.

Your poor friend. I hope both her and the baby are ok now.

Have a fantastic Christmas and again, wishing you all the best for next Monday 🍀🤞🏻 xxx

[Saya85 in reply to Ekjones86]

Thank you- that's very sweet 😊

Hubby seems to think if we wish it away then infertility will take a running jump lol. I prefer to just stay level headed hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. But he gets upset if I voice even the slightest worry

So I definitely need the sisterhood on here to keep me sane !

My friend and baby are absolutely thriving ! Considering they were near breaking point and baby had a rare condition you would not even know by looking at them now.

Hope this is the end of the hard road for you now and you get to enjoy your little one.
