8 years of IVF, 8 transfers, 3 miscarriages and one live birth in the midst of all of that for which we are very blessed. Just as we decide that we just don't think we can go on anymore as the only embryo left is very poor quality.............I get a positive pregnancy test from a natural conception. Out of the blue.
You can't make it up!!
I am not expecting this pregnancy to be viable. I'm 45. hCG is increasing for now- I've already done 3 blood tests and probably another one in the next few days. Then a viability scan on Monday (just before we go on holiday 🤯.) I have had many disappointing scans (last pregnancy there was no heartbeat at the first scan) and I have lost 2 pregnancies at the second scan so I'm not expecting good things. My consultant seems to be treating me free of charge as I've been with him so long and he says "I can't abandon you now" 😆. So who knows?
One last shot 🤷♀️

Hey just hang in there like you always have. Take each day as it comes. Hopefully all will work out and try not to worry or overtime.. it's great you have your consultant by your side so I'm sure he/she will do tge best they can to look after you. Fingers and Toes crossed for you.🩷🩵
Not great tbh, quite irritable. I’ve read lots of positive stories but the midwife was so negative and that negativity is really overshadowing any tiny bit of hope I have xx
I'm so sorry. Unless she has a crystal ball I don't know why she would be like that. There is still hope and, as we know, there are so many unknowns and surprises on this journey. I will be thinking of you x
Thank you. My mum said the same too. I really hope the midwife is wrong and I’m just much earlier on than my last cycle dates as I know I ovulated later than a typical 28 day cycle would have you down as. Praying and the same for you too 🙏🏼✨💛
Everything is based on 28 day cycles and a 2 week ovulation date as a standard default from the start of your period (I am neither). Everything crossed for you x
I needed IvF and immune treatment as I have Endo and high NK Cells… but just trying to reassure you I had two healthy pregnancies and babies in my 40’s. My second pregnancy when older actually went better than the first. Keeping everything crossed for you. 🙏Xx
I really hope this is your time. You’ve certainly been through the mill- a positive outcome is only what you deserve. Stay cautiously optimistic! Wishing you all the best xxx
Wow, what an incredible journey you've been on! It sounds like you truly are the poster girl for "save the best for last." I’m really hoping this little surprise is the one! I’ll be keeping everything crossed for you. Sending all the positive vibes for your scan and the weeks ahead!xx
Haha I'm not sure about being a poster girl 😂. This was a natural conception so am obviously concerned about egg quality but I guess you never know 🤷♀️ x
Congratulations. I hope this works out for you.Took us 18 years to be finally blessed with my son whos now 2 months. He was a poor grade aswell , we put in both a 5cb and a 3cc so didn't expect him to take
Amazing news congrats to you. That's a very long journey indeed for you! Ours was a natural conception this time which makes it all the more surprising! x
I wish you so much positivity and luck with this pregnancy. I hate the saying 'if it's meant to be, it will be' but I find myself being drawn to it on my journey. It kinda helps me some days. I really hope this is meant to be for you. Please let us know how you get on. Sending love ❤️
Ahh thank you. I'm not sure what I believe in anymore on this journey to be honest. We certainly count our blessings for the miracle child we have that's for sure. Never to be taken for granted. I will update after the scan on Monday. Thank you for your very kind words xx
I totally understand!!! I had to wait 10 years to meet my soul mate. I was literally in another country lol we matched on an app during the only holiday I had back in the UK since my previous visit 8 years ago. I was considering emigrating back to the uk so wanted to do my toe in the dating water lol we spoke for 4 months on opposite ends of the globe. I was 37 had a great AMH, no stress and was considering egg freeze but once I knew I was moving back and had met this amazing man, I put that on hold as we both wanted children. Within 4 months of me moving back to the UK we were official. With 12 months we had bought our first home and actively trying for a baby. Yes it was very fast but you know when you know and we both new without a doubt!! 6 months into our relationship he was rushed into hospital and diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer, blood mutation with knock on complications of portal vein thrombosis and hypertension. We have no idea what our road ahead will look like it or what time we have together. I met most of his family around his hospital bed. 18 months together so far and we are in our first cycle of ivf and have our first scan tomorrow. It's his birthday next month. One thing that gets me through each day is acknowledging what I can and can't control. Sometimes just handing it over to luck or fate or God or whatever you believe in, helps. It is heart wrenching but Good things come when you least expect it too. So for now we just take each day as it comes. I really hope this works out for you, I really do. Take each day as it comes xx
Wow! I'm sure your head is gone along with your nerves. I'm excited and nervous for you....really hope it works out honey. Fingers crossed my end and will look out for updates.xxx
