After 16 months TTC, this is it! šŸ˜

Emily

After coming off BC in June last year, because I couldnā€™t be on the combined pill anymore and the mini pill didnā€™t agree with me, it wasnā€™t until August, just before my 27th birthday, that we decided weā€™d start TTC.

I hate the word fiancƩe, but my fiancƩe and I had originally planned to wait until we got married before TTC, but a throw away comment from my GP about not putting off TTC until too late made us realise we were ready for a baby now.

Little did we know it would take 16 months!

We are both healthy, Iā€™m now 28 my fiancĆ©e 31. No medical conditions, donā€™t drink, donā€™t smoke.

After 12 months TTC with no luck, We had initial fertility tests which confirmed I was ovulating and sperm analysis was good. Weā€™d been referred for <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">fertility treatment</a> on the NHS but there was a long waiting list to be seen.

This month we started to consider private <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. And then this happened!

I honestly thought Iā€™d never see a second line on a pregnancy test! And now Iā€™ve got digital confirmation too šŸ˜.

Iā€™m about 3w6d today. I really hope this little poppy seed stays safe and healthy šŸ¤žšŸ»the full 9 months.

They should be arriving in August 2021, on the 2 year anniversary of us starting this journey. Just before I turn 29.

I know what a rollercoaster TTC can be, and Iā€™m sending baby dust and wishing luck to everybody šŸ§š
