Our journey towards starting a family has, so far, lasted 15 months…
For me that has meant 1 chemical pregnancy; zero for 13 cycles; 1 miscarriage at 6 weeks; 4 ultrasounds to check tubes, early pregnancies and empty wombs; 1250 ante natal vitamins; 7 pregnancy tests; 30 ovulation tests; 15 visits to the GP; 2 visits to the Reproductive Medicine Unit; 24 acupuncture sessions; zero caffeine; zero alcohol; an unspecified number of hours talking and writing about it.
For DH this has meant 4 sperm analyses; 1 diagnosis of worse than poor sperm morphology; 1 scrotal ultrasound; 1250 ante natal vitamins; zero caffeine; zero alcohol; zero sugar; 3 stone loss in bodyweight; an unspecified number of hours listening to me talk about it.
At the time of updating I am 7.5 weeks pregnant and hoping against hope we will finish our journey with 1 healthy baby.
Good luck to everyone out there trying to identify their storks; I hope your skies are cloudless and your visibility good.

womb for improvement
I’m so glad you commented on my blog, leading me to yours. I’ve just read pretty much all of yours! We seem to have a lot in common (age, location, hundreds of pregnant friends … who all seem to live in Stokie). Sigh.

Thank you for reading my blog and yes, we seem to have a huge amount in common. In fact we’ve probably passed each other on the street, our minds full of fertility thoughts. Very pleased to meet you, Womb for Improvement.
