Jeg var fast besluttet på at blive gravid selv derefter. Ikke så meget fordi det var et hårdt fertilitetsforløb, men mest af alt fordi jeg i en alder af 32 år endelig begyndte at få min menstruation, da jeg stoppede med at amme vores søn. Uden ægløsning er det jo lidt svært at blive gravid, som vi allerede havde erfaret.
Det gav mig håb om at det faktisk kunne lykkedes at blive gravid uden behandling, så hver måned var jeg lykkelig, hvor andre kvinder (forståeligt nok) hader det! Og efter en ufrivillig abort i uge 12 for nogle år siden lykkedes det endelig at blive/forblive gravid. Det tog omkring 4 år og skete lige som vi havde besluttet at prøve fertilitetsbehandling igen, og derefter lade drømmen om endnu et barn dø, hvis det ikke lykkedes. Jeg blev gravid, mens jeg var på nedregulering, lige inden vi skulle skrive under på en kontrakt på 43.000 kr til ny omgang IVF. Jeg overvejer seriøst om babyen skal hedde Sejr til mellemnavn, hvis det blir en dreng!
Dette layout viser de første skanningsbilleder af babyen og teksten fra Pink Floyd's "Comfortably numb" passede perfekt til følelsen af se babyen 'nikke' tilbage til os "Jeps, jeg er lige her". Sikke en ubeskrivelig lykke!
I am sheduled to deliver our second baby today, so this entry was written a while back. This entry is text heavy and very long! Don't blame you for skipping it... This baby means so much to me. Our first child was the result of two years of fertility treatment and IVF. After giving birth I was determined to have another child but without fertility treatment. My hopes were high, because after I stopped nursing our first child I finally started getting my 'period' at the age of 32. I know you must think I'm cracy, but each month when I got my period I was soo happy. I totally understand why others hate that time of month, but to me it was a sign that I might be able to have another child, so for years I embrassed it with a smile.
After a miscarriage years ago, I finally got pregnant again after 4 years of trying. This time while just about to start another round of IVF treatment, but before we signed the $7,700 contract for the treatment. Woo hoo. I am seriously considering naming the baby Sejr (meaning victory in Danish) if it's a boy!
The lyrics from Pink Floyd's "Comfortably numb" fit perfectly to the feeling of seeing the baby 'nod' back at us "Yes, I am in here". What undescribable happiness!
Knappen symboliserer at der kun var een baby! Det var lige hvad vi havde brug for...
Så "Hello, hello, hello" til en ny lille baby... Og tak fordi du læste min korte version af en meget lang graviditshistorie. Rigtig god weekend og tak fordi du kiggede forbi. Det betyder mere end du aner at læse jeres opmuntrende kommentarer!
So "hello, hello, hello" to a new little baby. And thanks for reading the short version of my very long fertility/pregnancy history. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by. It means more than you know to read your comments!
Update: It's a boy!
