An expectant mum has shared a powerful pregnancy announcement that captures the fertility struggle she went through on the road to conceiving her first child.
Mum-to-be Macy, photographed a pile of syringes and alongside a tiny onesie.
Writing on her blog, Macy said that had taken took four years, three miscarriages, depression, 107 hormone injections, one surgery, two procedures, over 100 suppositories, and several thousand dollars to get her baby.
Macy also wrote about the pain and tears she experienced over four years of trying to conceive.
“What our baby does do is fill us with a love and joy and gratefulness that I never knew possible,” she wrote.

“When I look at that ultrasound my heart actually skips. For years I lived never knowing if I would ever have an ultrasound photo hanging on my fridge.
“I’m so in love I can hardly stand it.”
She hopes that her experience will inspire other women who are struggling with infertility to keep trying.
Although clearly overjoyed, Macy noted that the news was “bittersweet”. Reflecting on the babies she has lost, she said: “To every single one of my babies, you were worth it.”
