Just wanted to update all you lovely ladies with our progress so far. You’ve been a wonderful support & I’m so grateful to those who’ve reached out and got in touch, it’s so heartwarming 🥰. And so lovely to hear from the old timers 😂…we’ve been on this treadmill a loooong time!
We had our viability scan this week and all went well. A strong heartbeat and measurements exactly as per dates. Such a huge relief!!
So far:
4 own egg cycles (x1 NHS successful and x3 private all BFN) 2018-2021
3 IVF clinics and x3 2nd opinions
Huge and difficult decision to go donor egg treatment (2021)
x3 DE transfer (x1 MMC, x1 BFN and now 7+2 🤞🙏🍀🌟)
Countless injections, supplements, acupuncture and reflexology sessions, counselling and a fertility nutritionist (even went gluten free!! 🙄🤦♀️ - but seemed to work 🤷♀️😂).
I’m praying our fertility journey will finally be over and have a happy ending.
Just want to say I’m here for anyone that is considering going the DE route. DM any time. The moment our embryos were created they were mine. I was as emotional for each transfer as for my own egg cycles. And our little embie currently growing (🙏) is as much as mine as my daughter is. Willing it on with all my heart ❤️.
Will move to the pregnancy group but want to wish each of you all the best in your journey…which ever direction it takes you. There’s always hope even if you take an unexpected path 🌈

Glad you've received great scan news Jen! That's super. Wishing you an uneventful rest of your precious pregnancy 💜 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on using DEs! I think it's important for us all to hear that the love is there from the start 🤩 xx
Awh JenRoy. This is just brilliant news 😘❤️ it's been such a long road for you for a sibling it's about time you got some good luck! Been looking out for an update from you. Big hugs, hoping this is a smooth and uneventful pregnancy for you.
Thanks lovely! I was soooo nervous. Especially after a friend announced her pregnancy last night via a group whatsapp. She’s only a week ahead of me. I was convinced our scan would be bad news 🙄, typical IVF pessimist. But phew 😅…all good. We’re cautiously excited. Good luck with yours xx
Ahh I totally understand that, as hers went well. Id feel the same 🙈 Nice that you are pregnant at the same time 🥰 thank you. Can't wait to see bubs 🙏💫❤️ pray all ok xxx
Congratulations and got everything crossed for you. I started following you as I think we did a cycle at the same time Oct 2020, and have followed your journey. So happy for you ❤️❤️
