I decided to do a test today and thought I was probably being stupid and getting my hopes up but there it was after over 7 years of ttc it was positive.
I have of course done another 2 tests just to be sure 😂

Eek I just needed to tell someone. Husband is on a late shift and not home for at least another hour!

So very happy for you. Late to the thread, but congrats to both of you, as you’ll have told him by now.

I too was on the cruel fertility roller coaster. Started at 30, got DC1 at 35, then DC2 at 39. It was hard, but so worth the battle.

I don't know you, but I am delighted for you. It is worth all the hard work to get there. Once your baby is here, you will forget all about the journey you had and will cherish your precious gift.

I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy X

Lovely news OP! Congratulations to you are your husband 💐

It's sinking in a bit more now

For those asking if I had any fertility treatment, over the years we had several appointments and hycosy. I have PCOS and my prolactin was also high so saw endocrinology too. I lost weight to start clomid and then became unwell with what is now a life long condition that unfortunately took over a year to get diagnosed so fertility clinic was all put on hold while we got that under control.

What has actually happened is I started taking myo inositol 4 weeks ago and here we are now!

Congratulations - you have waited so long! I wish you a calm pregnancy and safe delivery. You might want to join the National Childbirth Trust because their “new mother” group was a lifeline for me after I had my first baby; they are very supportive. My very best wishes 💐

I had that surreal moment with my son after trying eight years ?( lots of heartache)
Super congratulations 🥳

TimeforacuppaT · 24/01/2023 19:30

How lovely! Congratulations to you both. I remember that feeling you get when the test turns positive ☺️
Good times ahead for you….

Fantastic news! It took me a long time too, and I know being pregnant after a long struggle can be an anxious time. I found the Finally Pregnant podcast really helpful!

Cakeandcoffee93 · 24/01/2023 19:39

Love this- please keep us updated

junglistmassive · 24/01/2023 19:41

How wonderful! Congratulations!

MrsaJ1982 · 24/01/2023 19:42

I just wanted to jump on and wish you congratulations we conceived our now 4 and a half year old after 7 years and 7 fertility treatment cycles x

Ohmygosh83 · 24/01/2023 19:54

Wonderful news, I'm a big fan of myo inositol, regulated my periods and I fell pregnant with it too. My pal who hadn't had a period for a year started it and her period started 8 weeks later and she's been regular since.
A September baby?

Chocolatetrifle · 24/01/2023 20:05

Congratulations! Your post made me shiver. I've been there, ttc for 6 years, fertility treatment which didn't work then a natural pregnancy and another 2 years later!

Wish you all the luck with your pregnancy and your baby, it's your time now xxx
