First of all hope his doesn’t come across as insensitive to those stil,l fighting a difficult journey.
For those who may not know me ( been here since 2013!) our journey started we got married in August 2011 with the want of our family. I had a son young but really a family with my husband Oli. Like most people we didn’t expect to have any issue with becoming pregnant.
It took us 5 years and 10 months of TTC with no luck to finally get an explanation I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis which doesn’t always affect fertility but in my case it did due to location it grew affordable implantation. First time in trying after my first laparoscopic surgery I conceived but it was a chemical pregnancy. Endometriosis re grown and after my third surgery I conceived our first daughter Francesca Rose Martin after a 7 year struggle born 05-06-19.
Decided to re try once Francesca turned a year old. Didn’t think we stood much of a chance wasn’t sure if my endometriosis was bad again. However we conceived our second daughter Amelia Daisy Martin but very sadly she died at 20 weeks pregnant in November 2020. Totally heartbroken we tried again. I had my second chemical pregnancy in January 2021. And another miscarriage followed at 7.5 weeks in March 2021.
In may 2021 we were referred and spoke with a recurring miscarriage specialist who arranged tests- blood clotting ones and thyroid all normal. The only thing to come from this appointment was agreed to the prednisone that I had had with Francesca due to higher nk cells and 2 extra early scans.
In June 2021 we conceived and this time we had a successful pregnancy resulting in the safe arrival of our third daughter Eliza Camellia Martin born 16th February after being induced at 39 weeks as she was measuring big on growth scans she was 9lbs 9oz. A pretty traumatic birth for her especially which made our daughter Eliza end up in Neonatal ward intensive care unit for babies. It was terrifying and we feared the worst. However our Eliza is a fighter and pulled through much quicker than medics expected her to. After one night in intensive care unit she was allowed to join me in my room in Neonatal ward. We were discharged today. I missed Francesca so much during my 4 day stay and so happy to be home with her 😍
This journey has been gruelling and many times I felt like giving up but I’m glad I stuck with it to have my precious girls 😍 this journey is hard but dreams can come true ❤️ Miracles can happen.
Wishing all you lovely people the best ❤️
