Today we received our official results. And it is good news!! We have a positive result with our HCG levels well over 1000. Owen and I are over the moon. Arthur has told everyone that “I am the big brother”.
We are almost shell shocked. Yes, we were doing fertility treatment, but after our past experiences, well we were not expecting it to work. The truth is the success rate of FET - Frozen Embryo Transfer is around 7%. Which consider a full treatment is around 20 - 25% and it took us 4 tries. Well, we did not hold our hopes up high. We said it would all be down to Chance and Luck. Well it worked!!
It still feels strange because it took over 1.5 years to push Homerton into getting the treatment started. We actually gave up and transfered to Leeds Infirmiry but even the transfer took months because Homerton kept losing papers etc. When Mrs Moroney called to say the embryos were finally transfered and to pop in for a visit, well we did not expect to really start treatment. We were expecting some more delays. So when we had a quick injection and were told, well that is your treatment started - it did not sink in. Even our medication was minimal. No injections whatsoever - just tablets and pessaries! Between Christmas and Arthur’s Birthday… well, we almost did not even think about it (well… it was easy to not pin our Hopes up - especially as we already had Hope)!
So almost 3 years after Arthur was born, we had our cycle. And now… we are proud to say we are pregnant!
I cannot wait to do up the nursery again with baby furniture and a cot, and get out all the baby clothes!!
Yes Owen, Arthur and I are over the moon!
