My little #IVF miracle is 14 weeks tomorrow. He's very smiley and has just started to giggle which melts my heart. He was our 4th and last attempt icsi cycle and we'd almost given up hope. We are so very lucky. Feel free to follow us on Instagram

@NonMaternalMum 'Cwtch', I totally know where you're from! ❤️

[TryingToConceive @SlimToConceive]

@Hi_Infertile That th world still turns and it seems that everyone around you is having babies. Also that there are other people struggling too and communities like this on social media are really helpful.

As you guys may know the sonographer told us our gorgeous baby boy was expected to be a girl so as you can imagine we have lots of pink things in the nursery including lovely pale pink curtains with hearts which I can't get a refund on.

My social media use will become less frequent as I'm struggling to keep my eyes open! (I'm not complaining!) but I'll be here and also here https://t.co/i0H9EFPq47. Xx

Thank you so much for your well wishes and likes. This twitter community has been such a support over the last few years through the ups and downs of Ivf. I've found it a massive help to see others in the same boat as me and to see others graduating with a baby!

[TryingToConceive @SlimToConceive]

There are of course some just starting out on this path and some that are still trying and living in hope that their dreams will come true eventually. All we can do is be there for each other as so many have been for me.

[TryingToConceive @SlimToConceive]

Our baby has arrived and to our surprise it's a baby boy!(sonographer said girl). He's a chunky one weighing in at 9lbs 3 and he's perfect. After years of IVF I never thought our dreams would come true and we'd have a baby to bring home and love. #IVF #icsi #babyboy #inlove

40 today and feeling the best I've felt in ages. Must be the hormones!

[TryingToConceive @SlimToConceive]

20 week scan went perfectly, so pleased ❤️. This will be a good week, my 40th and a trip to Seville. #scan #20weeks #happy #grateful #ivf #ICSI

@toIVFandbeyond Thank you. X

Had the quadruple blood test result, 1:114 of DS. I'll be 40 at full term so knew it would likely be high risk. Not keen on the amniocentesis test so will wait for the 20 week anomaly scan to see if there are strong markers. This worry is never ending.

[TryingToConceive @SlimToConceive]

@NonMaternalMum Yes, discovering lightening crotch was a thing was a revelation!

[TryingToConceive @SlimToConceive]

14w yesterday, started bleeding. Panic. Went to A&E for 4 hrs only to be told they wouldn't scan me as they don't do scans in the evening. Had a scan this morning and baby was wiggling about and measuring 14w5d.😊 People tell me to 'enjoy the pregnancy'! How?! #grateful #relieved
