  What Was I Waiting For?
  Our Dream Come True


Nikki & Steve (Australia)

Our first IVF attempt took place about three years ago now - and it worked! I’m now “Mum” and Steve is “Dad” to our precious little Billy. In trying to recall our story, all I can remember is the excitement. It was absolutely overwhelming, burst out of your skin, can’t sit still, excitement. Those feelings still well up in my heart when I think back to that time and, as I’m typing, I’m having to resist the urge to get up and jump around.

However, suspecting that my memories are somewhat tainted by the perfect end result, I have referred to letters I wrote at that time. Yes, I wrote about the excitement, but I also wrote about the side effects that have disappeared in my reminiscences. It’s funny, isn’t it, that the final outcome can have such a huge impact on what we remember?
