I seriously can’t believe I’m finally able to write this post after 6 years of ttc, 3 surgeries, 3 rounds of ivf, 8 embryo transfers and a miscarriage - but I’ve finally gone and done it!
I’m at home with my baby in my arms writing this post with tears in my eyes - tears of happiness for my miracle and tears of gratitude and empathy for everyone on this forum who has supported me emotionally on my journey, educated me on ivf, and is still going strong on their own journey.
Ladies on here posting about their babies seemed like ‘other people’, lucky people, people that weren’t me...yet here I now am, one of those lucky people. So it can happen to YOU too. Please don’t give up, please keep a positive mindset, please keep telling yourself it will happen, please be your own cheerleader.
Here is Fabian Jude Ashton.
He was born Monday 24th Feb weighing 7lbs 15oz and he is unbelievably perfect and we are so in love xxxxxxx

Congratulations, he is a lovely. Can’t believe how quick it has gone from when you mentioned your treatment had worked to now having your baby. Enjoy being a mummy xx
I had no idea you had even had a BFP after and just managed to come across this by accident
I'm so so happy for you! Looking back at your posts it seems progesterone support really was the key?
I'm glad I kept banging on about progesterone levels last year - it is so so key and so poorly understood by clinics it's frankly disgusting - why haven't they figured this stuff out when it's so easy(& cheap!) To measure and correct.
Your little one looks gorgeously healthy, so happy for you and just what I needed before we start ivf again - a sprinkle of hope xx
Thank you so much xxxx so glad you’re going again, good luck! Progesterone was totally the game changer for me for sure and I agree that clinics should be testing everyone and be right on it! Hope to see your happy news soon xxx
Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful boy! Thank you for sharing your inspiring journey with us!
I had my son I conceived through IVF in October. Being a mum is a true joy, but can also be very stressful. After my challenging postpartum experience, I was inspired to find a way for others who had experienced infertility and pregnancy loss to connect and continue to support each other in our journeys to motherhood. Now I'm the new ambassador for the community healthunlocked.com/baby-and-us
If this sounds like something you'd be interested it, we'd love for you to check it out. Xx
Congratulations!! You deserve this! Enjoy your time with your precious new family xx
Great news Scarlett! He's a beaut! Enjoy every minute!!😍😍😍
Congratulations 🎊🎉👏🏻🍾 so very pleased, you so deserve this😘🥰 and I am sure I am not alone in saying that you have been a huge support to many people on here and your positivity through your tough journey has been inspirational. Wishing you all the best for your life as a Mummy xx
Soooo happy for you . I was just reading your long post that u wrote 2 yrs ago and can’t deschow happy i am for u . As it is really frustrating not to know why it didn’t go well
Thank you so much! That’s really sweet of you. My son is 8 months old now and we have 3 embryos left. Feel like the luckiest person in the world at times. It was totally worth the long journey! He’s such a lovely baby too. For me I believe it was getting my progesterone levels tested and switching what progesterone I was on that eventually got me pregnant. Where are you on this journey? X
God bless him for you ❤️ . Glad that you know what kept you away from such a blessing.
I had one faild cycle 2 weeks ago and planning to tru again in 2 months but i have to start from the beginning since i only got 5 fertilised and obly 2 good quality embryos managed to survive and transferred both of them so nothing left.
I do have concerns about tbe vaginal progesterone i have feelings that I doesn’t work although i had all related symptoms.
They didn’t check my levels but next time will definitely do check them regularly.
Thank you Hope! He’s 11 months old now, I can’t believe he’s here still?! It took a lot of time and patience and pain but I always had hope so you’ve got a great forum name xxx
It's been 7 years of infertility.. 1st ivf seems like failed cant explain my pain in words.. Don't know wt to say what not.. But your journey gives me hope... Plz pray for me too
So sorry to hear you’re on such a long journey - I just kept hopeful and kept going, always believing that it would work - I wish you all the luck and positivity in the world that you get your baby too x
