Sensitive update ❤️

[walkingmountains]

Hi all,

I don’t really post on here very often but I thought that I would now to give an update on our IVF journey. It has been and still is an emotional rollercoaster of a ride.

So we are blessed to have a beautiful 21 month old girl called Aurora, she was a success from our second cycle of IVF. This was following a miscarriage from our first IVF round ✨✨✨

Since this time we have had a further two IVF rounds and we have had a total of ten transfers. We had another miscarriage in October this year and have I never been no so scared as they thought it could be a c-section ectopic pregnancy. Luckily it turned out to be a straightforward miscarriage.

We had a transfer last Wednesday and am pregnant again by some kind of miracle. ✨✨✨ So I am very cautiously embracing this news but also trying to enjoy the moment of being pregnant, and hoping this time it will stick and this will be our other golden nugget.

One thing stuck with me that a fertility dr said to me, you can do everything right with IVF and not get the reward. I do truly believe this, but one thing we can always have is hope but and also knowing our limits physically and emotionally.. These two things have helped me along the way and will continue to do in this somewhat still uncertain journey ahead.

I hope others can find comfort in my post and that despite this journey being one of hardest things you will ever do. Do not underestimate your resilience as it takes a special kind of strength to go through this journey.

Love to you all at this somewhat difficult, emotional but lovely time of year. 🎅✨🎅✨

Congratulations !!! All the best…. It takes a lot of courage to keep going.

I decided after 4 failed ivf cycles that I couldn’t put myself through anymore last Aug.

I had a miscarriage in March (shocked yo find out I was pregnant) and just found I am pregnant now…. But haven’t told anyone … too scared too …..

best of luck with everything….. and Merry Christmas xx

Fabulous news, hoping for a healthy pregnancy.

I am rubbish at keeping secrets and told some family / friends that know about our IVF journey. I found telling friends about the last miscarriage really helpful as they were a great support to me.

I know what you mean though, it is so scary not knowing. How far along are you? I guess we need to trust our bodies to do what they have to do. Easier said than done though.

Wishing you a very merry Xmas and hopefully you can enjoy being pregnant at this special time ✨✨✨ xxx
