Thank you for visiting our website. Myself and my husband were childhood sweethearts - we fell in love when i was only 16. After being together for only 6 months my husband popped the question!! We got married 2 1/2 years after and decided to rent a house and move in together. Being only 19 and working as a full time Nursery Nurse was all fun and games untill my husband lost his job, and we were struggling to keep up with the bills. We coped and got on with life - trying for a family was my life long dream. Just to be a mum was all i could think about . Heartache after Heartache every month when nothing happened made me quite low and unhappy with life. I couldnt cope with looking after babies and children anymore so had a career change. After trying for 3 years I decided to go to the Doctors and get checked out. I was referred to a infertility clinic for suspected Polycytic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This I was diagnosed with. I was put on clomid and was responding well but still no luck. They decided to test my Hubby for sperm in his semen! This was such a rollercoaster after 8 attempts absoultley nothing. Which meant a surgical sperm retrieval operation that was going to cost £1250. Luckily we managed to get the money together but there was still only a 50/50 chance they were going to find any!! But definatly worth the risk! After going ahead with the operation, things weren't looking great, the consultant came out and spoke to me, aparently when they do this procedure they normally see millions of sperm but they couldnt find anything. Because of my faith and beliefs I prayed that they would find something. 15 minutes later the nurse runs out we have found some not alot but some! Praise the lord.for his miracle. Finaly the next stage had opened. We were given our date to start ICSI treatment we couldn't believe that this had finaly come. We had a rough ride i wasn't responding well to the drugs everytime i went for a scan and after being on them for over 3 weeks they wanted to cancel my treatment as they would only get 1 or 2 eggs, I didnt want it to stop My heart told me to carry on with this go. So again we prayed there would be some improvement. When Egg retrieval day came 6 eggs were retrieved and 4 fertilised and 2 were put back in. The two week wait was awful and when I started my bleed 10 days later we were absoultly heartbroken, A pregnancy test confirmed we had lost them both. And there was none to freeze. This obviously wasn't our time!!!!! It kept going around my head i made the wrong decision i should have stopped the treatment and tried again, but i look back now and if i hadn't have took that chance i would never have known..
UNFORTUNATLY THAT WAS OUR ONLY GO ON THE NHS AND NOW ANY TREATMENT WE WANT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR OURSELVES.
Like a lot of people in the world we are no different ............. only if you could change 2 peoples life to fill their emptiness of being childless then please please help.
Thank you. |
