About three years ago I was finally diagnosed with a little condition called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. It's not that I suddenly woke up one day and had this condition - I'd had it all my life apparently and the silly doctors just hadn't done the right investigations over the past 10 plus years to find it. My worst fears were confirmed... I was probably going to have a hard time becoming pregnant and then when I did, managing to get a healthy, happy baby at the end of nine months. Up until this point it wouldn't have been a big deal but I'd finally found someone with whom I wanted to have children and I was ready to have them.
This was when our journey with infertility and the 'roller coaster' of emotions that accompanies it began and is about to get even more serious in a couple of weeks with our first foreray into the 'joys' of IVF. I'm hoping we will be one of the lucky ones for whom IVF actually works.
What started out as another blog about pregnancy after infertility, became a story about the joys, worries, wonder and laughter created by our beautiful daughter Isabella and precious son Lucas.
