I am 30 years old married to D, who is the most amazing man in the world. We have been married for 2 year and this year on the 6th of October we celebrated our 10 year anniversary. We have been on this journey through infertility for the last two years, after many tests, exams, treatments and one failed IVF cycle we started our second IVF cycle in January 2010 cycle. That cycle turned up to be our Lucky cycle after all and after a blissful pregnancy, Isabella Anna was born on the 15th of October 2010. I still feel extremely blessed to have been pregnant and to have experienced all the amazing changes that pregnancy brought along. This blog started as a way of getting me through another IVF cycle and then it turned into a pregnancy after IVF cycle and now a mummy of an IVF miracle baby. We know we will be back on the IF journey when we are ready for baby number two (as soon as we can start again I guess!) but for now we rejoice the miracle that is asleep in my arms. I hope our story brings hope to those who are still struggling on the difficult IF journey, you are in my prayers.
