<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWe had frozen the other 2 embryos so we did a frozen transfer which was unsuccessful. This cycle was a little easier to deal with because we hadn’t seen those 2 lines on the pregnancy test. We decided to have a one year break before we transferred our last embryo which same as first cycle was successful. We thought 3rd time lucky, but just before we hit the 6 week mark I started bleeding, went in for an early scan and heard those dreaded words “sorry we can\u2019t find the baby”. We were so broken at this point. Our last chance to be parents together, our puzzle piece, was still missing. I started to struggle with anxiety and every day was a struggle for us both. Steven didn\u2019t know how to help and found it difficult to grieve whilst supporting me. Again, we were faced with another miscarriage, another empty date on the calendar. But we didn\u2019t give up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We returned to the clinic a few months later for a follow up appointment where our consultant said I was a good candidate for an egg share programme. At the end of 2018 we were matched with a couple who would receive half of my eggs. It felt good knowing we were giving another couple a chance to become parents. We did another IVF cycle with 13 eggs collected, 7 for us and 6 for the other couple. 3 of our little embryos made it to day 5 blastocyst so we had 2 embryos transferred. The last embryo wasn\u2019t good enough to freeze. Test day come and once again we saw those two little lines appear on the pregnancy test. Feelings of joy and happiness swept over us quickly turning into fear and worry. We went to the miscarriage clinic for a 6 week scan and saw our baby on the screen with a strong blip of a heartbeat. It finally felt real! Our family was going to be complete. All I could do was cry and smile at the same time. It felt so different this time around. I actually felt pregnant. My niece had not long found out she was pregnant, 8weeks ahead of us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had so many plans like joint baby showers, play dates.8 week scan came and we couldn\u2019t wait to see our baby again only to be told she could see 2 babies, but neither had a heartbeat. I found myself crying, but this time it was tears of sadness. Steven looked heartbroken and we were crushed. It was all over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We needed an output and scrolled through fertility magazines and Facebook support groups needing and wanting answers, wondering if we would ever afford another cycle when a video popped up on Facebook from Tone-Jarvis-Mack, from Fertility Road magazine, explaining how Klinikk Hausken were joining them for another year offering one lucky couple a round of IVF at no cost. I called Steven at work and we chatted and thought \u201cwow!! It can\u2019t be true and if so there are so many couples going through the same journey as us we probably don\u2019t stand a chance\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But after all we have been through we had nothing to lose so we filled the application form in and didn\u2019t think any more of it untill we received an email from the Klinikk Hausken inviting us for a Skype consultation with Dr. Jon Hausken. We were so shocked and couldn\u2019t believe it. Dr. Jon Hausken was amazing during our Skype consultation and made us feel so comfortable. He gave us hope that it would be possible to have our family one day. 25th<\/sup> June 2019 I recieved a call from Klinikk Hausken telling us we had been selected to become the 2019 Fertility Journey couple! Not often I am left speechless, but I struggled to hold back the tears. We are so excited to meet everyone at Klinikk Hausken and get to know everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMore information can be found on the Klinikk Hausken website klinikkhausken.no<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
