A Little Hope

[t_miller]

After 18mths of trying unsuccessfully and all the heartache and uncertainty of a “unexplained infertility” diagnosis, I’m now pregnant naturally.

I’m in a daze as I had lost all hope of this ever happening for my husband and I - this is the first time we have ever had a positive test, so much so I had to try and remember where I had stored them so I didn’t have to look at them with disappointment every month.

A fertility work up had highlighted low AMH levels for my 34yrs (8.9) at the beginning of this year and so we were on the road to exploring IVF, a reality many never expect to need. Covid-19 added a layer of delay and stress to this, and like many I thought our journey to a baby was doomed. With the clinics reopening, I had just booked us in for our appointment to start treatment in June.

I’m not sure what was different this time - perhaps the more relaxed pace of life in London with the lockdown, I’m just not sure. But I’m so grateful and hope this is our time.

This post is really to try and give a little support and hope for those who need it today, especially if you’ve been advised you have low AMH 💗

**I didn’t post a pic after 18mths of my own challenges, I want to avoid upsetting anyone still on their fertility journey.

Aww congratulations and you shouldn't feel like your upsetting anyone on here. But it's hope you give everyone else xx

Thank you Sammy - I really appreciate that ❤️

I guess I know the pain of disappointment with each pregnancy announcement so really don’t want to upset anyone.

Huge congratulations to you. This is very exciting. I am 34 so now you have given us hope that this may happen naturally for us! 🥰xxx

Don’t lose hope - I almost did and had a complete shutdown when my last period started in April. But we kept trying and it’s finally happened!

Sending you all the best wishes Kitscat 💗
