First treatment for us I was convinced would work - well why wouldn’t it? Nothing was found on any tests for me or my partner. My mum had three daughters, my sister has a son and daughter - so why can’t I, what’s wrong with me???? Besides what is “unexplained infertility” how can it be unexplained?
I wanted answers, I especially wanted answers when my period arrived early [[File:Penalty shootout.jpg|300px|left]]
During the follow up appointment my partner and consultant discussed the fact it was like a penalty shoot out - the first attempt misses but the second or third attempt may score! Talking about football when our whole world had fallen apart! MEN!!!
During the two week wait I started looking at our options mainly regarding the adoption process, as I say, convinced it would fail again…
[[File:Pregnancy test positive.jpg|300px|left]] Then, the moment of truth, peeing on a stick time! I hadn’t started bleeding …. Could it be???? Was it possible???? YES! There it was my first ever Positive Pregnancy Test, seeing that line was like a dream come true, reading the instructions several times again to make sure I hadn’t read the result wrong or pee’d on the stick wrong!
Two years on and I still have the three pee sticks as keepsakes!
We have a beautiful little boy, he turned two at the beginning of April…. He’s our world…
The pains of fertility struggles seem a distant memory, somehow less painful now we have someone to call us “Mummy and Daddy” someone to leave muddy footprints on the floor, someone to kiss goodnight to and read a bedtime story to, someone to love unconditionally, someone to worry over and someone who made our dreams come true , all thanks to the Liverpool Womens Hospital... To them we will be eternally grateful [[File:Womens hospital.jpg|300px|middle]]
So onto parenthood, onto the challenges and rewards that title of “Mummy” brings…
