 My Story
Hi everyone. I too, like many others had a hard time trying to fall pregnant. We started trying in 2003, it started off fun but then got to 1 year with no results. I'd spend days crying and it got to the point where I couldn't even serve the pregnant customers or even look at other babies....awful I know. When one day in late 2004 my mum told me that my younger sister was pregnant and was too scared to tell me herself I flipped but it also made me want to do something about it. I went to my GP and he gave me a referral to an IVF specialist. I started 6 months of AI with those painful injections and then when that didn't work went straight to IVF. Thinking this was going to be another looooong journey we started planning to enjoy our life and travel a bit....as you do, to get away from it all.....anyway, I went in for the procedure and they got 18 eggs out of me, out of those I got 12 embryos, one of which was implanted and I got my beautiful little girl on June 1 2006. I'm about get another transfer next month and hopefully this will work as well.
To everyone on this journey.... Never give up hope, my parents always said that we are very lucky to have these options available to us as in their day if you couldn't fall pregnant then that was it..
Good luck to all.
