I'm going to be in the paper done a story on ivf

Post by bubblymichelle »

Hi Everyone.

Just thought I would share this with you, I had a call from the Midland Fertility Clinic yesterday. They asked if Lee & I would be interested in taking part in a special for Mothers Day. More details was I had the journalist get in touch yesterday who I gave a story to on our 1st attempt at IVF and it being successful, they also went on to ask me why I thought Mothers Day would be so special this year. We have the photographers coming at 14:30 to take photo's of Lee & I and our son Alex, I can't believe it really.

Love
Shell & Alex (6wks 2d old)

Thats brilliant Shell! Everyone will be able to see your gorgeous son. Well done for doing the article.
I was watching This Morning yesterday and Curly from Coronation street was on there. They have just had a baby after 4 attempts at IVF, and he was talking about it so it wasn't so taboo to talk openly about.

helen :D

Dear Shell

That's great. I bet you will be in OK or HELLO soon! Did you mention in your interview about us lot on the web site??????

You will have to scan the article and put it on FF. I still find FF hard to move around on - too many places to get lost in. I wish we could put pictures on this site though.

Take care and look after that lovely boy of yours. I looked at his pics on FF and he is adorable.

Love Dagny xx

Hi Zoe,

Nice to hear from you, it is great that I have shared a special story I can't wait for the paper to come out tonight I just hope its ok. The thing is they asked me questions I answered and then they do the story to it.

How are things with you and Sam?

I am a little worried because Alex ain't had a poo for 4 days, the gp said to give him water and I have and he asn't gone and then they said orange juice in water he still asn't gone. He isn't drinking all his feeds either, he was on 6oz and now I'm lucky if I get 3oz out of him.

Hope you have a lovely Mother's Day too!! its our first one as well!! how exciting!!

Love
Shell.

Have you spoken to your health visitor Shell? It's absolutely vile when they're constipated, as you want to go for them......pathetic, but true!

Is he still on first milk, as I found that when I moved Dan on to the second milk he became constipated.

Try not to worry too much Shell, it's probably just a little blip, and he'll be back to his guzzling best soon.
