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!!!

 [[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…
