Sharing Hope is a weekly link collection for anyone who has some hope to share or is needing hope. Everyone is invited to share images and words of hope. For now I'll be using the same linky each week so we can gather lots of hope together but even if you've added a link in previous weeks you are more than welcome to add more each time. Please add a button or a link to Sharing Hope in your posts so others can visit and join in. Find out more about Sharing Hope and how to get a button here.

Bringing our little embryos home
This morning we went back to Bourn Hall and I had two top grade day 2 embryos transferred (14 more embryos have been frozen). I'm so happy to have been able to bring two of our little embryos home, and so is Sunnyboy. We hope that they'll get to stay.
I'd love for anyone who has images and words of hope to join me in Sharing Hope (I'm posting a new Sharing Hope post with the Linky each Friday). Everyone is welcome to take part (please click on the button below to see more Sharing Hope posts and add links).

Sharing Hope - Sunnyboy (and Easter Eggs)
Sharing Hope is a weekly link collection for anyone who has some hope to share or is needing hope. Everyone is invited to share images and words of hope. For now I'll be using the same linky each week so we can gather lots of hope together but even if you've added a link in previous weeks you are more than welcome to add more each time.

I'm just now reaching the end of an IVF cycle and yesterday I had my egg collection. I was delighted when I woke up from the general anaesthetic and was told that 24 'Easter Eggs' had been retrieved. Then this morning we found out that 22 of the eggs had been suitable for ICSI and 17 successfully fertilised. Tomorrow morning I'll return to Bourn Hall to have two of the embryos transferred and I hope with all my heart that Sunnyboy will soon get to be their big brother. I know that he'll be an amazing brother just as he has been an amazing son to me. He really is a miracle and he's filled my life with love and joy and gives me so much hope.

Today is four months
Today is four months since we lost our babies and I'm nearing the end of another IVF cycle. This morning I went to Bourn Hall for my egg collection and 24 eggs were retrieved. It's been a day of sadness, excitement, relief, sunshine and hope. I am also terrified, as of course the hard bit is still to come. Right now the eggs will have met the sperm and tomorrow I'll find out how many (if any) have fertilised, so hopefully very soon two little embryos will be transferred and I'll begin the two week wait.
I'd love for anyone who has images and words of hope to join me in Sharing Hope (I'm posting a new Sharing Hope post with the Linky each Friday). Everyone is welcome to take part (please click on the button below to see more Sharing Hope posts and add links). I also want to thank all the people online (and offline!) who have shared hope in so many ways with me over the last four months. Your kindness and support has been very much appreciated and has meant more than I can ever say but thank you so much!

This is the blossom outside our kitchen window. Despite the post title it's not orange blossom (a symbol of fertility) but it is orange (the colour of fertility).

Time
Corner View is hosted by Spain Daily and we are invited to post pictures telling the stories of our different lives and cultures. This week's theme is 'Time'.
We're really enjoying the arrival of spring after a long, hard winter and I've already posted pictures of spring in our garden, green, spring skies in our garden and a super moon, spring blossom, hope, and spring at the farm. Today I'm celebrating spring time (and sunny days) again with a picture of the apple blossom in our garden.
Jane from Spain Daily is away for a while so Corner View is being hosted by Francesca at FuoriBorgo.
