I have been so quiet recently for many reasons but, the best one is that I am 11 weeks pregnant!!
For those of you who don’t know me I was told that I had Slim to No Chance of ever conceiving. I was diagnosed with high FSH and a low ovarian reserve. I used the NF Improve Egg Health Kit, and many other suggestions from this website! I was also able to go to Clear Passages to help with adhesions from previous surgeries. After an extremely difficult IVF process I was able to conceive! My doctor is calling it the miracle baby!! So keep believing ladies…never lose hope!
As far as I am concerned I am elated!! I have been soooo very sick. I have not worked for the past six weeks due to the morning sickness. I don’t know why they call it morning sickness…haha I am sick morning, noon and night. However, each moment I live in gratitude knowing that my little bean is holding on tight. We have had two sonograms and everything is moving in the right direction! Baby is healthy with a strong heart beat. Next week we go for the 12 week sonogram where we will actually be able to hear it for the first time. At that point I will feel safe to share the news with all of our family and friends. We have only told a select few to be safe!
So, I want to thank NF and the NFC ladies for supporting me these past couple years. The support has been invaluable! I am truly so grateful!
I will keep you updated as we move along. I just wanted to share so that other ladies that are given this diagnosis do not give up the hope!
Update: Gabriele now has a 14 m.o. son, Nov.’13
