Hi - I'm not sure if anyone will remember me who is still around but I just wanted to leave an update - I know this site is very quiet now compared to what it once was, which is a real shame. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2012 and although we didn't start trying at that time, I wanted to be prepared for when we did - so I started reading the cycle buddies thread and continued to be a lurker for many years until it was my time. In that time, I read about amazing stories of determination, resilience and strength, and I hoped when my time came I would be as strong as the ladies here, whatever the future held for me. I used another forum when I started my first IVF cycle last year, which was unfortunately unsuccessful. But I got a little miracle frostie from that cycle that survived the odds, and I am now pregnant after a FET - 13 weeks today - I thought this would be the easy bit compared to the TTC journey, I was wrong! It is still scary, confusing, filled with anxiety, lacking in answers and seems like it will never end - or at least never end well - but like the TTC journey, I keep going and I keep hoping and that's all we can do. I hope everyone who has passed through here is doing well and am reluctant to name names as there have been so many - but Claire, I hope you are doing well and enjoying your completed family - you provided so much support for women on here and saw so many come and go - do you ever hear from Joy? I didn't cross paths with her on here but read the support she provided for so many others - hkitty - I hope you and your hubby are enjoying family life, it must be amazing after so long - MrsA - I hope things are going well for you on TTC No2 - joanne - I've read back a little and seen that you had a lovely little surprise - congrats! And as this is starting to sound like some sort of warped award acceptance speech, I shall end it there! I just wanted to update on my story so far, say thank you to everyone that helped me - both those that I interacted with on here and those that I just read about for those few years, and good luck to anyone currently on their journey, and those starting in the future who might be reading back to this xxx
