Hi everyone, and happy Christmas!

Well we have been suffering the 2 week wait very impatiently, I thought as we had a 5 day Blasto transfer 2 weeks ago we would have been able to confirm it sooner? We have been testing over and over again for about a week We refused to believe it at first but was hopeful as we did get a negative to start with and the lines were getting progressively darker.

Anyway the clinic confirmed it today we are officially 100% pregnant. Our nurse did put a bit of downer on things, it early days don’t be telling people or getting carried away. Things can and do go wrong in early pregnancy etc etc. We did hit the ground with a bump after that, I will be honest. We already know quite well after prior miscarriages many years ago what the risks are with any pregnancy. It is horrific when it does wrong and I hope so much that we have already suffered enough with that.

We have started to tell our closest family that we have been having treatment, partly because so many of them were asking questions about where we were going all the time. I think they are all curious now as to what is happening so we will see if we wait to tell to people. I think we might tell closest family in case anything happens so they can help out. Plus they can help make Liz keep her feet up!

Everything has gone so well from the start of the treatment, we got so many eggs and this one amazing blastocyst. I hope the little miracle can keep growing and developing. This means the world to us and is the perfect Christmas gift.

We feel really lucky to have had this happen to us and we are just going to be thankful that it has for now and remain positive. Others are having a hard time right now as they were not so lucky. Very sorry for everyone who is struggling with this right now we feel for you. So it would be wrong if we were so wrapped in what could go wrong, we are lucky to get this far and we know it. Best positive step forward and lots of positive thoughts.

We have a scan in 3 weeks to see how things are going, hopefully that will show a strong growing little bubba. Until then we just cross our fingers, more waiting! It seems that this is the main part of all this, waiting. Well I can be patient it doesn’t mater how long it takes.

Thanks for everyone’s support on twitter, we have been quiet for a few days as I have had a sickness bug. #NOTNICE Plus we didnt want to upset anyone who had not been so lucky this last week.

Thinking of you all
