Hi all, thank you to this forum for keeping me going during the dark days, of which there were plenty across the last five years. It's shown me how much we infertility warriors can help eachother, advocate for ourselves, and keep determining how to fight differently for our future families. We have to sacrifice far too much to get success no matter the specific route each of us may take to get to the stage of writing these messages. It's not fair, and I never have forgotten that even with my successful pregnancy. I genuinely don't believe I'd be in this position without the advice and experiences of the other women in this forum. My little girl was born via emergency c section on Saturday late afternoon. My preeclampsia spiked and became severe and my lovely planned c section got moved and she arrived at 37+4 weeks, absolutely perfect and melting our hearts although the experience was quite nerve-wracking. We are both doing well although they're still trying to sort my ongoing blood pressure management and my legs are the size of tree trunks with the edema!
The journey has been stressful, and as I say so much of the joy of this experience can be robbed with repeat loss, negative responses to treatment and that cruel passage of time.
But now, finally - for me, she is here. I wasn't sure I would ever get to say that. I hope that whatever path each of us takes, more women going forward get the opportunity to write the same as I know it's not that way right now. Either due to lack of treatment clarity, money, mental health - the fact we can't all get here isn't fair at all. I wish everyone the best with their personal journeys and may many more end with a picture and a "they're here!" message to this wonderful group of people. 💕💕💕

I was the same as you and never thought I’d ever get to write one but I did in June and I really hope more of you get to do it too xxx
You probably don’t remember me but our ivf journies intertwined in 2020. I think we both had a medicated round at the same time. I haven’t been on this forum for awhile but thought I’d check in on you to see how you were doing. What wonderful news and welcome to your baby girl. I am so happy that you have her in your arms. Thanks for sharing your journey with me, and for being there at a time when this was all new and scary for me. Lots of love xxx
