I hope this post isn’t a trigger for anyone but I really wanted to share with the community, some of which have been very supportive to me during my IVF treatment.
We started our IVF treatment in October and I haven’t posted since my 2WW where I had tested early with a positive and convinced myself I was having a chemical pregnancy.
Since then we’ve gone on to have a quite distressing 1st trimester with lots of bleeding and worry of miscarriage and I’ve had more hospital visits and scans than most women have in 2-3 pregnancy’s, the most recent trip being two days ago. Currently no explanation to why.
We had a private well-being and gender scan this morning and we are pleased to say at 16 weeks 3 days everything is looking ok and we’re having a little boy! Which was a shock as we’d convinced ourselves it was a girl!
*touch wood* we’ve been very lucky as this is our first round of IVF and I am so incredibly grateful to the NHS and everyone who has supported us during this time.
I hope this post doesn’t upset or offend anyone and it’s a little bit of proof that miracles can happen 🥰
Thanks everyone who had messaged during my early panics and I’ll keep people updated.
Wishing the best for everyone trying x

So sorry you've had such a stressful time!! Huge congratulations on your little boy great pic. Hope things calm down and start to go smoothly from now 💗😘
Congratulations! I am so happy for you and wishing you a safe and relaxed pregnancy. I have had masses of bleeding (currently at week 12) and lots of scans, both in hospital and private...in the end I went to Harley Street to see a specialist because I was told I had a haematoma causing the bleeding...I have been so strained with the stress and fear for weeks upon weeks. It's really great to hear your story and baby looks wonderful. X
Congrats I am 18 weeks on Tuesday I also had a lot of bleeding got checked and have cervical erosion it’s so worrying but feel more relaxed now it’s nothing serious we found out we are having a baby girl and it’s also our first FET 💖
Congratulations lovely news. I had a very similar experience with bleeding throughout my pregnancy so I know how stressful it can be. I know have a little girl nearly 18 months . Good luck in your pregnancy. 😊x
