It's been a very long road since that pregnancy that I don't wish to go into as it is so much detail and just exhausts me to think of it, but long story short, I have stage 4 endometriosis, and had a lap to remove the endo and they perferated my colon and so I spent 2 months in hospital (ICU) fighting for my life - with prayer and a miracle - I recovered, but the infection in my abdomen damaged my tubes and therefore blocked them off - leaving us with IVF* as our only option to fall pregnant. It took us 2 and half years and more operations to find out that my tubes are damaged beyond repair.
We have found the most awesome FS*...we are now in the 2ww* of our 2nd IVF cycle. I had 6 egg's of which 2 fertilized. The other 4 were immature and never grew further (so no snowbabies* for us as MellissaCPT would say). The 2 fertilized embies were of good quality and we hope and pray they snuggle in nicely and stay there for another 8 months!!
As we wait for these little babies to grow and grow and develop, I will share our joys, tears, laughs, every step of the way.
There are so many couples out there in the same boat who know exactly the heartache you feel when you get a negative HPT* or blood test result - the devastation you feel is beyond explanation, but you find the strength and the hope to continue along this road on our journey to get our hearts desire...a baby.
