A year Later and Operation Baby Leeke is finally in motion



Wow, where has the time gone! It seems quite impossible that this time last year I had just started my jabs and for the first time in 36 years, I’d began to grown breasts! Now here we are a year later, a few thousand pound lighter, a couple of stone heavier (not all that is my boobs sadly) and finally, after all this time, ready to begin round two of IVF to hopefully create our dream of having our very own Baby Leeke. 

So, for those of you that followed us during round one, will know the following, for those just starting to follow our journey...

  1. Round one was a challenge. Changed me inside and out and at some points I was ready to give up.
  2. Round one resulted in a suspected Ectopic.
  3. We then fell pregnant naturally but resulted in ectopic and losing my final Fallopian tube. 
  4. The Beard has been in the Sperm donation programme because he has good little swimmers and amazing has agreed his spent can be used to help up to 5 couples in our similar circumstance. That had been a head fluff yes, but what a man.
  5. My lovely friend set up a donation page to help us have a chance at another round, because we only had one NHS Shot, we was blown away with all the lovely donations and without it we would be where we are today.

So! Where are we? Well right now we are one week away from consultation, if all goes well and treatment is approved, we will officially begin operation Baby Leeke round two on September 18th. Those that are close to me know how just being able to say a date, after all this time, has today made me dance, cry, smile, snap and just let all the emotions out. The hardest wait ever, the longest year, spent with me feeling like I’ve been in a constant limbo competition, but unable to get under, get up or get down! Now, finally, just today, I know I can now move a little freely, just knowing the sperm donation is finally over, we finally are seeing our consultant and hopefully we will be all set to go. 

Watch this space, as I shall be blogging our journey again, for my own sanity as well as to empty my head, speak honestly and to be able to explain how I feel. 

Fingers crossed for us!!

Generosity and Feeling Thankfulness

As February comes to a close in just a few days, I am trying my hardest to remain positive and believe that this year is our year. The Beard has started a new job, I’ve started to lose weight, exercise and make many changes to help us have the best shot of making our Little Leeke. It is just crazy that it was 6 months ago this week that I first injected myself and started the journey. Sunday I had my first bad day. I really hated being ‘baron’ I hated being a women, I hated be me, I hated The Beard and I hated life. But I snapped out of it as quick as I fell into it and realised I’m so ready to do this to achieve our dream. In the last six months I have learnt so much, things that I never thought my brain would have to comprehend, I’ve made new friends, I’ve lost “friends” and luckily I have the best relationship with my partner in crime, The Beard, my husband. They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, well I think it is safe to say that we are proof in that pudding. A

What Nobody Tells You and What I Did Not Know Before

So its been a while, which I take as a good thing, I mean as I have said time and time again, I feel the need to write when normally I am freaking out or feeling out of control. But recently I have felt good. I have come into this year positive, I have started to look forward as if we will reach our target and we will get another shot, because I have realised that positivity is KEY! Again, i would like to thank everyone who has donated supported us financially, and to everyone who has continued to support us both in ways we can never thank you enough. If, no sorry, positive remember, WHEN we go again, I hope to have all of you by side again, because each and every one of you helped me so much, especially in deciding to go again and that could get through it, what ever the outcome. I have started of the new year by trying to tweak my life style. Little changes here and there not to join the band of new years resolutions, but hopefully to prepare me if we get to have our second c

Testing times, the need to write and a week I want to forget

Not the Easter Eggs I had in mind and shocking past 5 Days!  Let me set the scene, it’s been a while, which is a good thing, because recently I’ve been In a really good place, really good and have noticed the weeks flying past me, not the days dragging. It’s been quite enjoyable. Any way, this week that’s all changed and I have to do what I do best when flapping and that is shove it in a blog and get it out of my head! I am currently in hospital, its 4am and I am pretty sure I am still off my head on Morphine, becuse im sitting here writing this and havinf a 'lovely time' No one here is having a lovely time. My head is currently my enemy, so when this wears off and I get the update I can finish this, but here goes Monday my lovely foot wizardess arrived for my last round of fertility reflexology. We sat chatting away, like we always do and I can sense in her normal questions, seemed to be some new ones being asked and all pointing to one thing. Am I pregnant! For a
