Today I went to a Menopause Workshop at work. (The exciting life I lead heh). But I’d heard good things about it, and I think sometimes I’ve brushed over my menopause, as the main focus since that diagnosis has been to get pregnant, and then of course, my wonderful little girl once she arrived. And…
We had two of our closest friends over for dinner tonight and even though it’s early, we wanted to tell them both that we were pregnant, especially as I wouldn’t be having a drink and suspicions would be raised given it’s New Year. We also told them about our egg donation, and it felt so…
I can't believe it, but we tested this morning and it was positive! I thought the window showed 2 blue lines pretty much as soon as I’d finishing peeing on the stick but I didn’t dare hope or say anything until the 3 minutes were up. I also can't believe how incredibly lucky we are…
We’ve been talking a lot recently about trying a second round of fertility treatment with our frozen embryos and I’ve been feeling more and more uncomfortable with our decision to keep this to ourselves. Maybe uncomfortable’s not the word..... if you’ve read some of my other blogs you’ll know that I have always been torn…
I got a period today and it really made me think. I know I can’t have reversed the menopause and am sure it’s just a ‘bleed’ while my body adjusts back to whatever my normal is. But it got me thinking again, would I actually want the menopause to be reversed for me now if…
We’ve now been getting to know our daughter for 3 months, and apart from the sleep deprivation and not really having a clue what we’re doing most of the time, it’s been incredible. And today, when I was putting her down for a nap, I started thinking about if I would actually want to have…
We saw the doctor again today to finalise ‘the delivery plan’. I’ve been on a real rollercoaster over the last few months thinking about how our little person is going to arrive. Our private consultant had already strongly recommended a C-section which threw me, and at the end of March, the Dr at the hospital…
We met up with friends today who have just had their baby. It was so lovely to have a cuddle with him but surreal at the same time, as I just can’t imagine that in a few weeks, we will have our own little person (even though I am huge now so it’s definitely happening!).…
I’ve tried to carry on as normal as possible since we got back from Spain after the transfer but it’s so hard not to be consumed about thinking whether it’s worked or not. It’s been good that we’ve flown back into the start of Christmas (which I love) as it’s helped to take my mind…
I know it’s the same for everyone but I can hardly bear it. I’m trying not to stress and feel positive mostly but the moments of doubt are always not far away. I play the moment of looking at a pregnancy test and seeing a positive result over and over in my mind like a…
