Me and My Family

Life on the open road
Life on the open road

Hi Guys,

I am an Australian living in Darwin.

I have been married to my husband for 6 years now and we have been together for 8 years.

We have a beautiful daughter - Miss Cheeky Chops aka Olivia, who has has recently celebrated her second birthday (Nov).

We have a dog a Jack Russell (Russell) and a cat an Australian Domestic Short Hair (Kenny).

I have a passion for anything to do with Stephen King and also sea horses. Some would say I'm obsessed lol.

It has taken us 6 years in total to get pregnant. Two years unsuccessful, two years on ivf and now another two years unsuccessful.
I think that during the two years we did ivf we spent around $30 k (au$).

We had IVF actually ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). We had 2x complete drug cycles, 3x natural cycles (1x which was cancelled), 1x miscarriage (twins), 1x Miss Cheeky Chops aka Olivia.

The road is long and hard but we had age on our side.
We also considered adoption and were just starting our on our journey before we tried ivf again.

Silly me, I am thinking about doing it again next year.

Good luck.

Take care and be well, Michelle

Happy Easter!

I found the above website and thought you mat be interested. It is a free (email - Aust, cell phone- US and Canada) reminder service about when to expect your period and when you should be ovulating.

I thought it sounded good and thought my Minti friends may be interested as well.

Take care and have a happy easter,

Michelle xx

Sad and Dissapointed...

Comment Published at 04:4804:4811 comments11 comments53 Visits53 VisitsReport

To all my wonderful friends new and old...

Thank you for stopping by and saying hi!

I had planned on sharing good news with everyone, but now have only sad news.

I had decided that I was feeling up to doing another round of IVF in January, which we did.

In Feb I battled a bout of gastro to find out i was pregnant. Yippee! And then an ear, nose and throat  infection, the doc sent me off for tests including another pregnacy one, which cam back positive. Yippee again.

My husband and I went off to our dating scan very happy and excited and I was starting to show and have symptoms, but I couldn't get the feeling if I was having a boy or a girl, like I had done previously.

It turns out that I had / have a blighted ovum. The embryo implants but only makes a sac filled with fluid - no baby. So your body thinks that is pregnant because all the hormones are being pumped into your body.

So now I am waiting for my body to expell it's much wanted and loved cargo....

Hence my sadness and dissapointment.

Thank you for your kind support xx
