Did you ever think it impossible?

[mollycat]

I guess we all have had the thought that it is impossible, but we all know that anything is possible.

I fell pg with my first son on the pill,(1991) I had no idea what was to come and went back on the pill after his birth, when he was about 15mo, we decided to try for another child. Well over twelve months later, and still no pg, we went looking for answers. I had blood tests, a lap, went to see FS, hubby had tests, no real reason just "unexplained secondary infertility". A few cycles with clomid and 3 years after we TTC, I fell pg (1996). I spotted at 8w but went on to have a healthy son. Knowing that we had trouble conceiving, i never went back on the pill, but continued to try but not to try to conceive. After nothing happened, I went back to FS, more clomid but no luck. We took a break from TTC, but did nothing to stop anything from happening, in 2006 we decided that this would be our last chance (i didn't want to be an old mum - just personal decision), I went to our local GP and asked for referral to a gyno. I walked into the gyno's office, he took one look at me and said I think you've got PCOS, we'll send you for tests, so many blood tests later, lap, etc. results were PCOS and endo. After a hysto, also discovered i had a blocked tube and polyps. The tube was unblocked, polyps removed, put on metformin and more clomid, I have also lost about 20kg. Still nothing. About two months after clomid (gyno took me off this, as he doesn't like extended doses) I finally fell pg. Ten and a half years after my second child. (2007) Unfortunately I had a m/c at 8w.

But now I do know that the impossible can happen, we have given ourselves a little bit longer to TTC with the hope that sometime in the next twelve months we will be able to have an addition to our family.

Absolutely!

After so many weeks, months, years of disappointment...you do feel like it's just not going to happen.

We tried for 3 years with nothing happening (I realise it's not as long as others)...but for 36 times in a row it was disappointment. We too thought it was never going to happen...

But then...a miracle...he's now 6 months and I still can't quite believe he's here.

Don't give up...hang in there...remember 'it's always darkest just before dawn'...just when you feel you can't handle it anymore, a miracle appears.

Take care!

Be kind to yourself.

I am having one of those days today and wondering what the point of it all is.

It sucks and these type of days are really hard but I guess you just have to think it makes you stronger somehow

Monnie - I must say what you said inspired me also.

Kell - I don't have any words of inspiration 4 u unfortunately hun but I hope you know that there are many girls who are feeling the exact same way as yourself...take me for example. I'm half way through the tww and just feel empty and that this could not possibly have worked. So don't feel bad about feeling bad..it is totally natural and just shows how much it means to you to have ur own lil bubba in ur arms.

My thoughts & prayers are with u xx

Baby Bliss as long as you have the strength to keep going don't give up....it took us almost 4 years to conceive our little miracle.

There were times in the 4 years after the negative results that I believed I would never be a mum, never know the joys of pregnancy .... but it is all worth it...every single tear, every single cent spent ....

Hang in there and hope you also get your little miracle soon xx
