    Things that make me feel great about my sway:

    Things that make me nervous about my sway:
    Not enough effort put into the diet. Not enough time before conception spent on the diet.

    Things worth mentioning:

    Had my HT baby girl at 28+4 in July 2015. She died on 1st August 2015. We went for an Embryo Transfer of our last remaining girl embryo in September 2015. Had a chemical pregnancy. After all of that I was less bothered about my sway and more interested in having a live baby in my arms.
    I was worried that if I went all out on my sway and it didn't work then I would be more disappointed than I would have been if I essentially left it up to the universe to decide what I 'deserved'.

    Congratulations Boom! I've thought of you often. Im so very happy for you!
    Two gorgeous boys. One baby one toddler history of hypothalamic amenorrhea, repeat miscarriage and immune issues. Clomid/menopur cycles to induce ovulation for first two babies.

    Clinic R - with the 'wrong' dr. Fought to find out gender information - 1 XX from 9 tested embryos. March 2015 = BFP! huge bleed - told 'inevitable miscarriage' because cervix was open and passing clots. Went back next day for scan and pregnancy was still intact - cervix not open?! Large haematoma seen. 16 week scan - confirmed GIRL!!!

    Diagnosed with obstetric cholestasis at 37 weeks. Induced at 38 weeks. Claudia Eve born weighing 7lb 9 oz on the 18th November 2015!!
