Dagny

Wow. I am in floods of tears. I am truely amazed by your story. I cannot believe what you have gone through but sure that Chloe will be a very very very special little girl for you & your dh. As others have said, it makes me realise how much more I need to try/fight/endure before I throw in the towel.

Thanks for sharing your story with us. Truely Inspirational.

Love to you, dh, Chloe and the three angels.

Hi Dagny,

I'm new to the boards here, althoughI lurked for a little while. It is 4:30 a.m. here. My DH and I are in cycle for our 3rd IVF right now. We are praying for excellent +abundant eggies (in the past I have not made many alhtough I've always had lots of follies), excellent quality embies, and a BFP! I'm up right now because I was feeling restless, and your story touched me. Praise God for your little girl, and God bless your family.

I had no idea about the pineapple juice. I would truly appreciate any other tips you have to offer, as I'm sure the other ladies on this board would too. I'll try anything, no matter how cooky!

You are one hell of a lady! Just as everyone else has said, thank you so much for sharing your story - you don't know how much it means, especially to some of us who've been around the block a few times.
I wish you all the luck in the world and hope you and your family have all the happiness you so deserve.

Lots of love

Dagny what can I say,

The tears are streaming down my face, I am so, so, so happy for you. I have often wondered how you are and now to see this news is fantastic. It couldn't happen to a more deserving couple, to keep at it after everything you have been through takes a special kind of strength, you are an inspiration to us all.

Lots of love
your old cycle buddy

Hello Dagny and everyone esle

What a truly amazing story ! Thank you very much for sharing that with us - I am sure it will give hope and inspiration to us all :)

Dagny, I totally agree with your comments about the anxiety and panic one can experience whilst pregnant after concieving via assisted conception.

Many of us do stuggle to become pg and when we do some of us have the misfortune to experience m/c, lost angels and many BFN's. No wonder we become so sensitive thoughout our IVF journey and that does not change once we become pregnant. It is not that other women (fertile women) do not experience these things and that they are unique to us but its just that we seem to experience, as you say, every scan, bloodtest, twinge, pain etc, so intensely and worry all the time!

I agree with you, to continue on the IVF journey takes commitment , persistance and a determined, strong couple. You are proof that it can be done. My journey is not over yet and I will not stop worrying until my babies are born and are safely in my arms - then I will finally stop worrying and enjoy motherhood :)

I wish you all the very best Dagny, and baby dust to all.

Hi Dagny

I too have not posted for a long time, am at the it will never happen stage now(3 fresh cycles-all -ve-3 frozen cycles-all -ve) but now i have seen your post it has given me fresh hope.........we are now looking at DIUI but do not hold out much hope as this seems a backward step to me after ICSI but hey ho, who knows....

i am so happy for you.......lets hope the last of your old buddies will get there too(Kat!!) I often wonder about July Ann.....have you heard how she is doing??

take care and wishing you and your "family" much happiness for the future

oh my friend you have posted your good news!! I am so happy :D :D

I can assure everyone that Chloe is the most beautiful little girl and it was so wonderful to see her Mummy and Daddy looking so happy when I saw them last week.

Dagny as I have said many times you are the bravest person I know and I am thrilled that your dream finally came true!

It is a tough journey unfortunately for many of us, but stories like this do give you hope, I know they used to when I came on the boards during my many(6!) tmts.

Hello to Kat, Becky and Sarah too.

Congratulations again My friend :D See you soon and kiss for Chloe!

Lots of love

Dagny,
What an amazing woman you are!! How lucky is Chloe to have such a strong Mom and Dad that never gave up to get her. I have tears streaming too. What an inspiration. Before I came to this site, I have to admit I had many pity parties for myself. But so many of you have been through so much and so many attempts, that I feel like a huge baby now. Congrats to you, and all the best to your amazing family!! Wow!!

Dagny...o my what can i say..

Ive had 2 full cycle,1 FET and on my 3rd full cycle we finally got our BFP,we are now 14weeks 4days pg,and i thought we'd been through the mill..

I read your story and was crying for ages,i showed your story to DP and he too couldnt believe what you and DH had been through.This is surely a testament to how strong and commited you and DH are to each other and your family.

May you be blessed with lots of health and happiness,you all truly deserve it..

Love..Nicola..xx
