The third cycle

Yup. You read that right. I haven't gone mad and missed an IVF cycle. I mean, I have missed a section, the second fresh cycle which gave us Logan. But as we know the outcome to that one, I thought I would pause that story for now and tell you the most recent news. From…

After the first cycle

So, as we learnt from my post The first cycle, I didn't end up with the positive result I so desperately hoped for. My whole cycle had been looking good, the medications were changing my body as it should. My lining thickened as it should at the right time and my ovaries were looking promising.…

It’s been a while

So I will start with saying sorry for the silence! I know it's a phrase bandied around often but seriously - time really does fly when you're having fun! I truly don't know where this year is going - all I know is it's going fast! I have so many posts in the pipeline but…

April so far

Sorry for the silence on the blog recently! Isn't it crazy how quickly time goes! We have been having so many busy weeks I seem to have blinked and April is almost over! The last couple of weeks have been a little quieter, as it's school holidays our swimming and baby sensory groups have stopped…

Mothers day

I have dreamt of becoming a mum for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I would play mummies and daddies with my friends, take care of my dolls and play families. I had a large barbie collection and they would all have babies and families. Coming from a small family, I…

Zoo day

As we had so much fun on our mum and son day swimming and seeing fishies, I decided to keep up having regular days out. This time, as it was a dry and fairly mild day, we took a trip to Banham Zoo! Going to a zoo is one of my favourite things! I am…

Swimming and Sealife

As I have mentioned before (and as mentioned in my about me section!) I struggle with anxiety. I didn't have alot planned for this week and its been a long time since I took Logan on a proper day out, just me and him! So I made the decision to go swimming and to the…

40 weeks

Hey! I hope everyone reading this is ok? Thought I would do another post, short but sweet, as I've hit a little landmark! As we now know, my first cycle didn't work on IVF. But if you have found my blog, you will have seen on my Instagram / Facebook / Twitter that I have…

The First Cycle

So, this has come about quicker than my other posts but I want to get the story of the first cycle complete. My period started 21/02/2016 so I could start all the medications. I had the delivery around a week previous. Gonal F pens were stored in the fridge along with the trigger shot Ovitrelle.…

The Start of IVF

As we found out in my last IVF story post, my tubes are completely blocked, the medical term is hydrosalpinx, as my tubes aren't just blocked but are filled with fluid. Due to the findings during my laparoscopy, I had to have IVF treatment. The surgery took place 30/04/2015 and it was determined I would…
