HI

MY HUSBAND ANI I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 11 YEARS AND TRYING FOR A BABY FOR ABOUT 13 YEARS.I WAS TOLD I HAD P,C,O,S AND ENDROMETRIOSIS (PROBIBLY NOT SPELT RIGHT ) AB0UT 8 YEARS AGO AND GETTING PREGNANT WAS NOT GOING TO BE EASY OR JUST WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN . WE HAVE BEEN IN AND OUT OF HOSPITAL OVER THE YEARS FOR DIFF TESTS , I WAS TOLD ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO ABOUT THIS TREATMENT CALLED OVULATION INDUCTION WHICH YOU INJECT YOURSELF ONCE A DAY AND YOU GET SCANNED EVERY OTHER DAY AND WHEN THE FOLICAL IS 21 MM YOU GIVE YOURSELF A TRIGGER INJECTION WHICH BURSTS THE FOLICAL AND HOPEFULLY THERE IS A EGG INSIDE WHICH WILL FERTILIZE . I WAS TOLD I HAD TO LOOSE WEIGHT BEFORE THEY WOULD CONSIDER puttingPUTTING ME ON THIS TREATMENT SO I JOINED SLIMMING WORLD IN OCT LAST YEAR AND LOST 2 AND A HALF STONE AND STARTED THE TREATMENT IN MARCH/APRIL ,THE CHANCES OF IT WORKING WERE VERY LOW BUT ON THE SECOND MONTH I MISSED MY PERIOD AND DID A PREG TEST AND THERE WAS A FAINT LINE I THOUGHT IT WAS STILL THE HCG HORMONE THEY INJECTED INTO ME STILL IN MY SYSTEM , BUT I WENT TO WORK ON THE FRI (I WORK IN A HOSPITAL) AND DID ANOTHER THE LINE WAS DARKER I STILL WONLD NOT BELIVE IT .SO I HAD SOME BLOOD TAKEN AND SENT OFF AND THE RESULT CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY AS POSITIVE. I WAITED TILL LAST MON AND RUNG MY GYNIE AND SHE SAID I WAS 4 WEEKS PREG I NEARLY FAINTED ,STILL DONT BELIVE IT NOW I HAVE A SCAN NEXT WEEK THEN I MIGHT START BELIVING IT . MY HUSBAND IS SO EXCITED HE PHONED EVERYONE AND TOLD THEM OUR NEWS AND HE IS ON EBAY GETTING LITTLE THINGS . WE ARE SO HAPPY I JUST HOPE NOTHING GOSE WRONG . INFERTILITY IS THE WORSE THING TO GO THROUGH IT TAKES OVER EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE AND I HOPE IF ANYONE ELSE IS GOING THROUGH WHAT I DID READS THIS AND SEES THERE IS HOPE. X X X X X

birth story of my baby oliver !!

well i was 2 weeks over due and very tired and fed up , when they decided it was time to induce me , i went into hospital at 10 am and they did there normal observations on me and by 11 am i had a tablet placed somewhere to start labour pains ( i wont go into details about that i am sure you all know where it gose , not plesent ) i was then put on a vrey nice ward where i was going to stay till i was in labour , i was encouraged to walk around so i want for a long walk came back to the ward about 1pm for lunch i was still feeling no diffrence so i thought this tablet was not going to work , and i would have to have a second one , but at 2 pm i started getting really bad period pains which came and went , the midwife interduced me to the big birthing ball which i was not to keen on to start with , but it became my best freind i used it alot !!. At 5pm i went for a bath which was lovley and as i got out my waters broke , so they transfered me to the labour ward , where i met up with my husband, the midwife we had was really lovley my contractions were getting stronger and stronger and closer together , james was absolutley fab he could not have done enough for me ,i dont think he liked seeing me in pain , he is just getting over having a bad back and was lifting me up the bed with the midwife because by about 1 am thurs morning i had enough i could not even move myself , i started to get the erge to push about 2 am , and my gorgouse little boy was born at 02.46 am , james watched him being born and cut the cord and said it was amazing i dont really remember alot towards the end apart from holding my little boy and thinking he was perfect and gorgouse ,i had hold of him for about 30 mins then they came in to stitch me i only needed 3 , so whilst they did that james dressed oliver and cuddled him , then they left us to bond for about a hour and a half , we both just looked at oliver thinking he was perfect , and they brought us in tea and toat which was the best i have had .james went home about 6am and i went for a bath and they moved me on to another ward where i was for 24 hours as they were teaching me how to brest feed which i am doing now and love it(so dose oliver , he lives up to his name "please sir can i have some more ") We are now home and enjoying every min , oliver sleeps very well at night wakes up only twice for a quick 10 min feed then gose back to sleep , The only pain releaf i had in labour was tens machine and gas and air !!!and i would like to say i did not sware once in labour , anyway i wont bore you any more but will update on olivers progress . thank you for everyones support though my pregnacy .
