Hello,
I had an EP on the 6th of April 2006. I will never forget it.
3 rounds of IVF, 1 ovarian tumour, no tubes and just 1 ovary left I finally became the adopted mother of a little girl on the 3rd of April 2012.
I am so happy and she is wonderful (although becoming a mother did take a little bit of getting used to for me - understatement - I guess I didn’t believe it would ever happen to me).
This is a thank you message to people who posted messages between 2006-2008 (when I used the forum) and, particularly, to Izzie. Your support was so precious to me (Izzie - it’s the girl from Paris. I don’t know if you remember me…).
Good luck to those of you who are on your journey and I hope you find peace.
Katie
Hi your story moved me, what a horrible thing youve been through. Congratulations on your little girl. I cant even imagine what your going through. Im starting ivf next year hopefully after 1 ectopic 2 years ago i have had 1 tube removed and the other blocked and im terrified ivf wont work but after reading your story its give me hope that you can become a mummy x
Good luck Angel,
If you really want to be a mummy, you will be so you do not need to be terrified about anything.
I really wish you good luck for the IVF. Keep cool / calm and positive too. IVF can really work and having a tumour is (luckily) very rare
My advice would be to try and enjoy the process / period before you become a mummy as much as possible. By that I mean, look for the positives, the fact that you have time with your DH / partner, the fact that you might have time to do stuff for yourself (I did drawing classes, but you could do anything…if you don’t already).
Good luck xxxxx
