Given the go-ahead to TTC

Had a very important follow-up appointment with my renal consultant last week- so important because it was to find out if my residual renal issues from the pre-eclampsia had resolved to a level safe enough to try to conceive again- I'm so happy and relieved to hear my doctor tell me that my level of protein excretion has now dropped to an insignificant level now- seeing it on the graph over time since I was first really poorly was amazing- also to hear him tell me he doesn't believe I have kidney disease, and to hear that we have the 'all-clear' from now to try to conceive again! I felt such a wave of emotion come over me and my eyes filled with tears; I'm sure my doctor could see how much this whole thing meant to me... It is another milestone for us in this journey of completely mixed-up emotions after what can only be described as the worst thing ever to happen to me almost 7 months ago, plus the time before that with all my pregnancy complications emerging, and time before that undergoing infertility investigations followed by the process of IVF... It has and still is now physically and emotionally draining; but now I've been given this ray of hope, for my rainbow, which I will grab with both hands and not let go of, and pray that my angel will carry on forever being by his mommy's side for this next phase...
