Hi all,
I haven't been on here for ages and I’ve just gone through and there is lots of new faces but also still some old names that hopefully remember me.
I wanted to shared my story to give every person that little bit of hope.
Back in 2015 i found out I was pregnant with my ex partner but unfortunately that was short lived and we lost it, to cut a long story short this then led us to ivf as we later found out there was problems on both sides from me and him. We were told that our only option was icsi.
We started ivf - 1st round I was on short protocol this had to be cancelled just before egg collection as my body hadn’t reacted to the drugs, then then confirmed I had pcos on both sides and that I was not ovulating. The second round they swapped up my meds and I did the long protocol which work and enabled me to get right to the end of my 2ww, this unfortunately was a failed attempt and hadn’t worked.
I then went on to find out my partner had been having an affair with someone I worked with, as you can imagine absolutely crushed me.....
So a couple of months later I found the courage to get rid after 6 years of being together and move on.
Later down the line I met my new partner who I’m currently with now, I’ve brought a house this year and well my birthday was on the 9/8 I’d been feel horrific and thought I was on one mammoth hangover to actually find out on my birthday that I was PREGNANT!!!!
I couldn’t believe it!! I was sat starring at 5am in the morning at a digital clear blue which said pregnant 3+ so I was a lot further on than I thought and this was all down to my period cycles ranging from 5-6 weeks and me just believing I was late but my period was on route!!
I had an early scan due to slight bleeding and with my history it turned out that there was two sacs and I was pregnant with twins!!
Unfortunately at 8 weeks it looks like I lost one of the twins however my other little miracle had such a strong heartbeat and was growing away nicely.
I’m now currently 12 wks pregnant and have my scan next Thursday which I’m so nervous about as like us all I just want everything to be ok.
So I’m not telling everyone to change partners lol but just note that after being told for 4 years I was not ovulating and that my only way was ivf, sharing my story is proof that it was all a load of rubbish and that nature has done its thing just from buying a house and not even thinking about it has given me my dream.
Never in my life did I believe I would be come a mummy but now it finally looks like at 33 I’m going to get my dreams come true. It was the best birthday present I could ever receive but also a very big shock as really not prepared for it.
So please stay positive to all of you out there I hope no one has taken offence to this post but I wanted to share my journey after all it’s been a bloody long one of 6 years.
Good luck to all you beautiful mummy’s to be on the forum and I have everything crossed for you 😘 xxx
