My daughter Lia is a blessing. Her birth and her presence we were and are so very lucky to experience. But like all humans we yearn for more, we yearn for challenges, we desire and we greatly want, especially eager for the experinces that are not delivered easily. In all respect we desire to give Lia a sibling and this challenge has become for of a long term obstacle then the simple pee on a stick result.

When Lia turned 1 in 2020 we knew right away we would try for another child and if it happened it happened. We were lucky with her in all honesty we weren’t even trying (which is probably the solution) and here she was easily made. Her pregnancy wasn’t easy though constant nausea, with the great pleasure of gestational diabetes alone. Along with major life changes of moving into our first home and a major operation for my husband. In all respect my life is a constant path or hills and mountains to climb but I was used to it. But nothing, nothing prepared me for what I have experienced these past few months and I hope i can continue to nurture myself to keep climbing.

So here we are now Lia now 2 and a half years old. We tried for 10 months with ovulations and app tracking before we decided to finally contact a fertility clinic.

It took a 9 months wait to start from my first session with the doctor. Unfortunately the clinic experienced a major flood at the end of the summer setting all treatment of IUI’s on hold for 4-6 months. In that frustrating waiting time where time is already essential I discussed jumping right into IVF.
