STORY-TIME 👇

Back in June 2023 like most people we hoped that when we started trying for a baby, it would just happen.

Considering we got pretty lucky with Ollie after not long of trying, I think we both secretly thought the same would happen when we went for number 2.

Fast forward to June 2024, and after 12 months of trying with no success, we decided to start the IVF process.

Ellie ended up having a total of around 310 injections in total along with all the other medication she had to take! 😦

Let alone the procedure itself albeit way more common now and the doctors made us feel that things were safe and Ellie was well looked after, we were still apprehensive as expected of the “what ifs”

We got a phone call on a walk that had us both in tears to say our first attempt wasn’t successful which was heartbreaking 💔

It even had us questioning whether to even go again or to just accept it’s “not meant to be” and whether we could bear going through it all over again…

Luckily we did go again and on the 2nd attempt we got the phone call, but this time it was the best news ever ❤️

They say you aren’t meant to take pregnancy tests and wait for the blood tests at the clinic, but we couldn’t help ourselves.

Luckily it came good for us but I can only imagine how it would have felt if the home tests said yes but then the blood test ended up saying no.

Now 2 years since we started trying Sienna is here and we couldn’t be more grateful 🙏🏻

Why am I sharing this?

Mainly just because I’ve shared most things on here since I started this account back in 2013 so why stop now, but more importantly:

If you have any questions about the IVF process feel free to ask, I’m happy to share my opinion and our experience in private in more detail 🙌🏻

The process is very draining, expensive and an absolute emotional rollercoaster, but reflecting now on how many times we almost didn’t go ahead, I’m of course so glad we did 🩷

Like I said, if you’re going through this process yourself right now, or it may be on the cards some day, or it didn’t go to plan and you want to talk, my inbox is open for you 👊 taken in Kingston Hospital Maternity Unit by @danielpoulter

Here’s how I’ve used these 4 apps to drop over 11.2KG so far this year 👇

1) Strong - tracking workouts so I lose fat but keep as much muscle as possible

2) Myfitnesspal - tracking food intake so I can eat the foods I like but within my daily allowances

3) Health - tracking my daily steps to keep me active and meaning I can eat a little more food on the days I move more than usual

4) Happy Scale - tracking my bodyweight every morning so I know when to drop calories or increase steps

Day 6/62 had me playing golf, table tennis, on a bike and of course, in the gym 💪🏻

Activity can come in many forms and notice how none of them involved boring gym cardio!
