Never dreamt I would ever be in this position. I have fourty mature follicles at my scan this morning. No more gonal f for me. The nurse was gobsmacked at the difference in my cycles. Trigger is buserelin and will be having extra hormonal support after collection. Feeling so overwhelmed and grateful. This journey is hard but oh so magical. ?

We are feeling so grateful. Absolutely loved egg retrieval again. What an amazing experience regardless of all the pain. We got twenty two eggs!! They are having to do icsi this time round and I have pills and patches to do too and just pulled the official trigger.

We did it! Transferred our two best embryos! A 4aa and a 4ab embryo. So far we have three grade 3-4 embryos to freeze but will get a full update tomorrow. Snuggle in tight little ones. We love you so much already xx

Never in a million years did I ever think I would be this lucky. I can’t even put into words how grateful I’m feeling right now. I was so close to giving up my dreams. IVF is so so hard, hats off to all you ladies. My heart is feeling so full right now.

Cannot believe that tomorrow you will actually have a name and we will know if we have a son or daughter. Beyond excited! Still pinching myself and cannot believe that I’m actually pregnant.

Today we welcomed our beautiful boy into the world. Bodhi Alan Pipe. Born at 12:04 and weighed 8lb 15oz. I’m really quite poorly but baby is amazing and so so beautiful. Completely head over heels. Our little miracle

Life has been so hectic. I will be getting round to writing a birth story when life slows down a bit but for now I hope that people out there struggling that my little Bodhi can give you hope that it can for you too. Infertility is awful and I will never never forget what that feels like. I feel like the luckiest lady walking this earth at the moment. Keep holding on to your dreams, eventually they will come true. #bodhi #miracle #ivf #ivfbaby #ivfjourney #infetility #foreverthankful
