Pregnant with a brain tumour after mmc & ttc for two years!

Hi, im Octavia, married with two children born in 2010 and 2012.
Living in Yorkshire, UK.
I have endometriosis and struggle to conceive due to scarring along with stupid cycles abd annovulatory cycles thrown in.
In April 2014 i had a mmc - i miscarried naturally the day of my 12 week scan after being told the bean stopped growing at 7 weeks.
After the miscarriage i started getting bizarre symptoms which i put down to hormones etc, but in November 2015 and not falling pregnant and my periods getting further apart i was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
My consultant put me on drugs to shrink it and hopefully help me conceive my sorting my cycles but was told it could take a long time.
January 2016 i get a BFP! Totally flabbergasted and so are my doctors and consultants. Due about the end of september I think, wont know for sure until i have a scan, all assuming this is a sticky bean. I hope so. I feel much more positive this time and even though im only 6/7 weeks my bloaty/bumpness already looks obvious! Eeek!
Anyway just wanted to share my journey.
All the best,
Octavia.
