Hi ladies
Back home and read through all the posts. I feel like I've missed heaps. Gutted I didn't get the updates. I just assumed the thread had stopped going and I didnt post much for a period of time either.
First of all, Fia and penny are gorgeous!!!!!!! I need to get on a laptop and upload a pic of my baby boy. My laptop busted so haven't been able to transfer the gazillion pics yet. Once I do, I will share on here if people are ok with that.
Broody- how old is Fia now? Interesting to hear she also had a dairy intolerance. What made u diagnose that and when did u start reintroducing cows milk? How are you enjoying mummyhood?
Mrs g- how's your pregnancy going? Not long at all now! What's ur birth plan?
Aleja- congrats on the birth of your baby boy. So great to hear u had a smooth pregnancy!
Mrs p- as mentioned, penny is a little heartbreaker! Good to hear her colic is now under control. How old is she now? Had she settled into a routine?
Cupcake- Hi again. Great to get a pm from you also. How's it all going preparing for the new arrival?
Truly- hello! How's everything with you?
Hmm... Would it be helpful if we all gave a mini bio of ourselves again? To recap where we all are 2-3 yrs on? Gosh... 2-3 years!
Ok I will start. Well after ttc for over 18 months with unexplained infertility, hubby and I decided to see a private consultant last summer. We debated over when to do iui and the decision to go for it was rather last min as we had initially decided to wait a bit longer seeing as the docs couldn't find anything wrong and I felt I was getting way too stressed about ttc. We were so blessed to get preg. I was stunned. I was over the moon. Then just over a week after I got my bfp, I started to bleed. I had to go for several scans and the wait to see if my baby was ok was excruciating. They thought I had twins as I released two eggs and they saw a bleed that resembled a miscarriage. After discovering a healthy baby I side, I bled again. This went on for a while and it was awful tbh. I couldn't talk about it. But bubs was a fighter and stayed put! Then I had another bleed- low placenta. Then I got diabetes. All in all, it was a rather stressful pregnancy。but my gorgeous baby boy was born in June
He's now got s suspected food allergy. Tough seeing things affect the little one.
In terms of fertility here's what I got Sucess with. I'm conscious this is a ttc thread do hopefully our stories will be of help to some people. I know your stories inspired me to cont.
After ttc for almost two years, hubby and I went for an array of tests, both on the Nhs and privately, we were classed as unexplained infertility. It was frustrating. We went to a private consultant who recommended we try iui three times then consider alternative ideas if it didnt work. We did double iui (ie two inseminations) and I took gonal f injectables. I didnt feel pregnant and was convinced my period would show but hellooooo bfp.
So good to be "back"! Xxx
