Hi ladies, am new here and to be honest never ever expected to be joining one of these sites!
I'm 35, I have PCOS and have done since I was a teenager. I have a beautiful son who is 11 next month, who was conceived on cycle 6 of clomid after 3 years ttc. Had a fantastic pregnancy with him and decided when he was a toddler to try again and try clomid. We were unsuccessful and tried it twice again for 12 months a time but never got our BFP. We were told by our fertility nurse that it was unlikely we would conceive again without IVF, we just couldn't afford it to be honest and although it was heartbreaking accepting that it wasn't going to happen, we moved forward with our lives and thanked God we were parents already and enjoyed the child we had and enjoying life in general and to be honest all the stress of ttc was a lot on our marriage and emotions it was nice to walk away from it all.
Years have passed and things have been going great, I joined slimming world to try and shift some weight, I did great and lost 20lb and loved the healthy lifestyle and changes. I started my own business recently and we booked a big family holiday for Cuba 2017.. Then.......
I realised I had missed a period, nothing new there as my system can go way over but then I noticed my boobs were really sore, hmmm...
I decided to rule out anything so of course I took the thousandth pregnancy test which of course was going to be negative!
Oh My GOD.. 5 tests later, including a digital shows my miracle has happened and I'm pregnant! Huge huge shock and still on cloud 9! It's early days the midwife went well, and she is putting me at 8 weeks 5 days but I disagree and say 7 weeks 5 days as my cycle doesn't go off a 28 day. I'm awaiting my scan but am due April 2017! Anybody want to join me in my journey feel free.. Be lovely to meet some other mums and share things it's been that long I'm out of sync with it all haha .. Love to all and for those ladies who are struggling.... NEVER give up, miracles really do happen and I wish you all the best in your journey, love Sammy X
