Tomorrow is so special

Some of you may recognise me, many of you won't but I wanted to post this in the hope that it inspires those who are going through the rollercoaster. Tomorrow is my babies first birthday, and they were officially the first births from this site. I joined just as I started treatment and through all that and the horrendous 2ww was geed up by the amazing Loonpants, Wendy, Tee, Dee and so many others I barely know where to start. We went through all the symptoms, the old wives tales, the clinging to hope, the mess of pessaries together and then I was one of the lucky ones...it had worked. The support I had always felt continued, And the lovely Dr Marcus then added a new area for pg after treatment. It wasn't a great pg and things went a bit pear-shaped, as I developed some mystery allergy to being pg and ended up giving birth at 29 weeks. Rebecca and Ross were tiny but perfect and the messages I got from the girls here were so lovely. I always tell my two they have a very special group of honourary aunties who kept their mummy and daddy going when times got really tough. There are lots of new names on this site and sometimes when I miss a few days I can't believe the amount of posts I have to get through to try and keep up to date, I have also made some new friends like Jules R and Scorry...and love seeing Tracy's mad ideas...singing knickers....wet ones from laughing so much more like!!! I can never get pg again as the risks are too great but everyday I know how trully lucky I am and I wish that joy on all of you. IVF girls are the bravest, strongest, most supportive, and occassionally mad lot you will ever know and I am priveledged to know you all. I probably won't be posting so much now as I am feeling like a wise old aunt rather than someone who knows the latest treatments, but tomorrow when I help two special people blow out their candles....I will be making a wish for all of you. All our Love Nicky, Rebecca and Ross and Andy(dh)

That was such a lovely post to do, it may be have goose bumps on my arm, your such a caring person, but like everyone on this site. I am currently on my 2ww and I am trying to stay positive, I have been having AF type pains and become negative but then they go so I am back to being positive. Its a very hard thing this 2ww but hey I hope I get the good results at the end but so do we all. You have a lovely day tomorrow with your family, and hope you will continue to post on here because whether you know the full up to date treatment or not you would still be welcomed by all of us. Take Care Love Shell. xx

Nicky Thank you so much for posting - timing is fab as on attempt number 4 tomorrow with 2nd FET - had 2 IVF's and first was ectopic. Baby was due yesterday. Have got the pessaries too this time for extra support so have adapted the singing knickers to the waterproof variety. Thanks so much and I am really happy for you - will be thinking of you with the candles! Have fun and hope I can join you soon as a wise auntie - or maybe a mad one! Love Tracey xxx

Nicky, Thank you so much for your post - i've only been posting since Jan. I'd had treatment for endo which hadn't worked and was at the beginning of this emotional ride into IUI/IVF. If it hadn't been for the support of the wonderful girls on here, i don't even know if i would have had the courage to go through it all. I start my first IUI next week. You have a fab day tomorrow and a happy, happy birthday to Rebecca and Ross! And do keep posting - we all need a wise old auntie every now and again. Your story gives us all hope, Thanks Nicky and much love to you all, Lizzy xxx
