So after five rounds of ICSI and the sad loss of two babies I finally get to write my own sensitive post.
A year ago today I found out at my 12 week scan that we had lost our baby. Devastated doesn’t even come close to describing how we felt. I thought that was it for us and my chance of being a mummy was gone. I wasn’t even sure I had it in me to carry on with trying anymore. I couldn’t bare the thought of having to go through the same again.
Yesterday a year on I went back to the same clinic to have my 20 week scan - it was perfect and our baby was waving and moving and looking just amazing.
I’m anxious everyday and I think it’s true you don’t fully relax and it’s hard to enjoy what’s happening. I just want January to be here now, but I am so very grateful to have this chance and I honestly never felt I would be one of the lucky ones.
So to anyone still reading please don’t give up hope, some peoples journeys take a bit longer than others. Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported me on her - through some very dark times it really has helped.

Aww hun, thanks for the update. I’m so glad that all is ok and that you have reached this amazing milestone. I wish you the very best for the rest of your pregnancy and look forward to your birth announcement in January. Take care hun xx
Im alright thanks! Nothing much doing with me, just waiting to start another FET in October/November.xx
Thank you for sharing your big news with us. I’m glad that you've reached this amazing milestone
I'm having the same feelings you have - a little anxious and I don’t fully relax to enjoy my pregnancy (I'm 16 weeks). But I guess it's normal when we have waited so long and had so many losses along the way.
I wish you the very best for the rest of your pregnancy!
I’m hoping to follow in your footsteps - a year ago today I had my viability scan and saw a heartbeat, but some time between then and 10 weeks, I had a miscarriage. I am currently 5+3 and impatient for my first scan next Friday!
I’m so very sorry for your loss very sad I’m so happy to hear all is going well with this pregnancy ❤️ I never managed to fully relax until my daughter arrived safely we fell with her after a early miscarriage the year before I still find it hard to believe we got so lucky. Anyway all the best with your pregnancy xxx
That's lovely to here it really is so pleased for you, that's made me smile it really has .
I had a positive for week and half , then slowly faded to negative.
I had left it so 12 years, well that was my last attempt 12 years ago , it was number 4
Then this year we thought we have another go . I am 45 now using donor embryos, so excited to I got pregnant but so short lived and I think I forgot how cruel and empty it makes you feel, and useless.
I still have two embryos left and my review in a weeks time,
But really want to go again but emotionally don't know if I can , and there is the expense.
But my time is running out and I know I have to make a decision soon
