im writing this post while looking at my beautiful 7 week old daughter conceived through ivf,and just wanted to encourage pepole to always be optimistic when going through this rollercoaster ride.i had already had two children and desperatley wanted another as id remarried. i knew it wasn,t possible as i had one tube removed through an etopic pregnancy after my 2nd child. i also later discovered after years of trying that my other tube was blocked .my husband said it didnt matter, and he loved my children ,as his own but i knew deep down he longed for his own child as much as i also desperatley wanted another.my youngest child is nine and i really wanted another baby for them to have a little brother or sister too. , i was so insecure knowing i couldnt give him the one thing he wanted and watching him with other peoples babies tore me apart.we decided to try ivf i knew we couldnt afford it so i took part in the egg share scheme and donated half my eggs for free ivf.it was lovely knowing i could be helping another couple while trying to have my baby.the ivf worked first time round and we were ecsatic to say the least all through the ivf cycle i wasnt, very positive ,but my partner stayed positive and that really helped me, i had a few problems i got mild ohss and also got told i had miscarried at 8 weeks even though i hadnt,which i discoverd two days later on a scan,i also stared attending church something i had only done before at weddings and funerals,and i soooo prayed every sunday god answered my prayers and i still attended church as much as i could throughout my pregnancy and still do now not every sunday but maybe twice a month just to say thankyou to god,for giving us our beautiful daughter,i count my blessings everyday and cant describe the feelings i feel wen i look at her .ive wrote this post in the hope that people will read this and be positive and pray and belive in god as i did i and you will have your little miracle too someday dont give up xxxxchvonne proudest mummy in the world xxx
