My story began in 2019…
In 2019 I met my soulmate. I always knew I wanted children and I didn’t want to be in my 30’s before starting, I was open and honest and we decided just before our 1 year anniversary to start trying for a baby. It was quickly evident that I had irregular periods. I was very lucky to be offered blood tests quite early into our journey. The first lot of tests had shown that it is a possibility that I could have problems with fertility. They carried out more bloods at which point I was almost 100days into my cycle. The results came back on New Years Eve in 2020 and they had shown that I was in fact pregnant! I was only just over 4 weeks pregnant so likely conceived around day 80 in my cycle which didn’t sound possible to me, but it was all real. All the pregnancy test I had done which were negative until this day when I tested again and it was actually positive. I still thank my lucky stars every single day that we have an incredibly beautiful baby boy who was born on 23rd August 2021 2 weeks early.
This brings us to now, we made a plan to start trying for baby number 2 around my 30th birthday Feb 2024. I stopped the pill in January 2024 and here we are 1 year later and no baby. The journey through this year has been long and hard, and I feel we are no further forward. This blog is to go through my journey to date and the future whatever it may bring. I feel this is something that is not spoken about and is time people started. My aim is to get people talking and stop bottling it up like I have.
