Happy new year🍾🥂 & ⚠️sensitive content

Hi everyone.

I hope everyone is okay as can be. I hope Christmas wasn’t too painful, I dreaded it whilst TTC.

To those who’ve suffered miscarriages my heart truly goes out to you. Time will ease your pain. And hope your miracle babies are around the corner waiting to meet you soon ❤️

To those who have suffered BFN I’m so sorry, this journey is so heartbreaking & exhausting but keep going your time will come. Don’t let it beat you ❤️

To all the ladies that have got their BFP congratulations. Wishing you the best with your pregnancy & hope it goes smoothly❤️ I know the early weeks are tough going, one day at a time but you will get through them & will be worth it ❤️

I can’t believe how different things were a year ago for me; endo symptoms had returned (after my chemical pregnancy last year), I saw a gynaecologist in January & had my second laparoscopy in March. My endometriosis was so bad it shocked my fertility doctor & he referred me to a endometriosis specialist one of his colleagues. I saw the endometriosis specialist in April & he agreed to another laparoscopy. Initially I was told it was a minimum of 8 months waiting list, my trying was on hold because I knew my endometriosis would make conceiving impossible. My symptoms worsened so my GP wrote to my surgeon & my fertility doctor insisted I needed to be seen earlier. I had my third laparoscopy in July which was pretty extensive. I fell the second cycle of trying after my last surgery. I am 18 weeks after TTC 7 years & 1 month and 3 surgeries within 13 months. I feel so incredibly lucky. We both do. I never imagined us ever getting our happy ending we’d almost given up any hope of it happening.

My mum told me she told her neighbour of our journey & she cried! Her son & daughter in law were also experiencing difficulties trying for baby no 2 , they’d been TTC for 6 years & suffered 2 losses & are expecting too ❤️about 2 weeks after we are due ❤️ And then I learnt my late Grandpas partner son who had testicular cancer as a child told they’d never conceive & they are expecting in March.❤️

My mum called it the year of miracle babies & I love that❤️ I thought where else better to use that statement than here ✨❤️ So here’s to wishing everyone here their miracle babies next year ✨❤️

Happy new year 💗 xoxo

We are due our miracle baby almost a full 7 years since we started TTC; 4 cycles of IVF and 3 miscarriages later. This time last year I was recovering from laparoscopy to remove Endo. Now here I am 37+2 pregnant with talk of induction in a week’s time! In no time at all our much longed for and beloved baby will be here. 🧡

I am so happy for the turn your journey has taken, Jess, and 2019 is going to be the best yet for us both!! Very best wishes to you and your growing family xxx

Great news! If anyone deserves it it's you after all you went through.

Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

Happy New Year to you!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thank you. We all deserve this none of our journeys are easy 😘 Hope all is well with you? Happy new year to you. xoxo

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

It's just that you had been trying for so long and kept getting disappointed which is why I said you well and truly deserved it after you had struggled for so long and it's great to see someone who's struggled for a long time succeed.

I'm fine and have just received a pay rise which was hard won as well after loads of setbacks and struggles!

I agree, xmas and new year have always been so difficult. Hoping 2019 is the year for both of us. Glad your pregnancy is going well. X

[Hidden in reply to Mantaray75]

Thank you, I feel very lucky. ❤️All the best with having your daughter. ❤️Please do update us when she arrives safely. ❤️ xoxo

[hannahding]

Your post really made me happy. I am glad that things worked for you. I guess its all about just not giving up. I myself am going to give IVF another try. Really hoping that it works for us. I have opted for the guarantee program that the clinic offers. In case if this IVF doesn't work they will try something else then. Good luck to you.

[Hidden in reply to hannahding]

Thank you ❤️ Wishing you the best with your next cycle & hope it brings good news ❤️ It’s such a difficult journey but good on you for not giving up ❤️ xoxo
