Hi Girls

I have 2 children (10 & 8 from a previous relationship) and my DH and I have lost 7 angels in total and then all of a sudden we just couldn't fall pregnant at all.
We saw the docs and they refereed us to a specialist for tests and EVERY test came back PERFECT but we still could not get pregnant. We were told in simple terms ...."you have secondary unknown infertility and you will need the help of IVF" this was devastating as we did not have the funds for IVF and are not entitled to help on the NHS as I have 2 living children (even though my husband is childless) so I contacted my local MP and started the fight with the Clinical Commissioning Group to get them to change their rules so that help is offered to any couple where 1 partner is childless (something I am still fighting and I have a meeting with my MP in a couple of weeks who is taking the matter to the house of commons) woohooo......I will not give in!!

However in the mean time the one thing I had completely gave in on was my chances of having another baby as until I win (and I won't stop till I do) that that's it for us ....game over!!

I was in bed the other week (about 11.30pm) and got this thought I could be pregnant.... as much as I tried to shake it off I couldn't but I can't be as it's not possible ......

I did a test and I got a :bfp: I was gob smacked ......its still not sunk in now. Even my doctor has confirmed via my bloods that its true and even that my bloods are that high (I had my blood tested at 3 weeks 5 days) that I may be in for a double wammy and have a multiple (I have a scan in 11 days)

I know this is not the :bfp: thread HOWEVER I am only posting in this section to tell you not to give up hope as clearly secondary infertility does not always mean infertile.

This is only a snipit of the hell that I have been through but it was too long to write it all lol


GOOD LUCK LADIES AND DON'T GIVE UP

Aww congrats! I am super happy for you and appreciate your thread. :hugs:
 
Congrats on the BFP :happydance:

I appreciate this thread. It gives hope to those of us who are dealing with secondary infertility and feel like we are getting nowhere. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months. The positive reinforcement that good things can happen when you least expect them is really encouraging.
