Thought it was about time that I share my story... sorry it’s a long one!!
My middle child (Alfie who is now 7) after trying for 3 years, having had 2 miss-carriages and an etopic. I honestly thought that having another child was never going to happen! I have endometriosis so I find it really hard to conceive. I was under a specialist consultant who put me on clomid and luckily the first month it worked.
In October 2018 I had a positive pregnancy test, I didn’t have a bleed for 13 weeks. Was a huge shock but once sinked in the thought of having another child was amazing. Turns out though after several blood tests and examinations I wasn’t in fact pregnant but I had a cyst on my ovary. My whole world crumbled and the possibility of having another child was slipping away!!
I started a bad relationship with drinking as I thought that the alcohol would block out the pain. It did for a while but it also made me more unhappy as I put on a lot of weight.
I had been taking the premium capsules in 2017, even though I took them continuously I wasn’t looking after my health properly. So I decided to knock the alcohol on the head and start taking better care of my body.
On New Years ever 2018 I decided to have a procedure done to laser of my endometriosis as at this point I had lost over 4 stone. I was still experiencing heavy periods and sex had once again become painful. So I wanted to go into the new year a better version of me.
I was told by my gynaecologist that I could start trying for a baby naturally. We had always been told that if we wanted another child then I would need to take clomid again and if this failed it would be hormone injections. So to be told this news I didn’t believe him and questioned him. I made sure that he wrote it on my discharge paper work so I had it in writing.
On February 7th I had my first positive pregnancy test!! I couldn’t actually believe it, it didn’t sink in till I saw my baby growing at my 12 week scan!!
My pregnancy was actually amazing I had no uti’s (like I did with my other 2 pregnancies). Other than being anaemic I felt bloody AMAZING!!! My cravings throughout my pregnancy was watermelon!!
On the 14th October 2019 I had an emergency section and I welcomed my 3rd boy into the world. He was absolutely perfect in every way and weighed a whopping 8lb 1oz!!
