Sometimes it's hard to describe in a few sentences the many years of struggle for the longed-for child. It is even more difficult to admit that this road seems to have no end.Today on our blog, Basia and Maciek share their, as yet unfinished, story of their struggle with infertility.

It's hard to sit down and describe or recount your journey. The long road to get the child you wanted. But sometimes it's worth it, if only to clear your heart and mind of your emotions.

My husband and I have been a couple since we were 18 years old. It's well known what the beginnings are like. Everyone thinks that a child can come along just like that, straight away. It wasn't until five years later that the alarm bells went off in our heads, signalling that something might be wrong if we hadn't had an accident, colloquially speaking, for so many years. We found it strange at the time.

We then directed our first steps towards the doctor. And so it began. Examination after examination. Doctor after doctor. Test after test.

Today, it is difficult to understand how many times a person has to clash with different doctors to finally get to the right one.

Eventually we ended up at the InviMed clinic in Wrocław. And there... tests again. The first insemination. Unfortunately unsuccessful.

God, what despair it was. How many tears were shed. Today it's hard to even remember. But we did not give up. We made more and more attempts. We experienced successive negative results.

MTHFR c677 and V Leiden mutations. It sounded like a verdict to me.

But what to do? You have to treat yourself. Keep fighting. We fought back.

Sudden shock. No period. Beta hCG positive. Briefly. Biochemical pregnancy. Another blow below the belt. It seemed to finally work out, but the happiness only lasted a short while, only to turn into unbearable despair.

However, I had to pick myself up from it, shake myself off. The desire for a child is stronger than all the blows that fate deals us. My husband and I continue to fight. We are aware that we must not give up. We both believe that we must succeed one day. After all, the ground is the belief that we will succeed and something that allows you to move mountains - mutual love - strength.
