It’s time to celebrate 4 years of ITP & Me.

A year ago today, I wrote a blog post about THREE YEARS of ITP & Me.  At the time, my hopes for the future were that I would be able to have kids with my ITP and write about the whole process.

That dream has now come true, as I am sure all heard. Our son was born just a few weeks ago with a wonderful platelet count and not a sign of my antibodies staying in his system.

Now my hopes for the future are to change the perception of ITP around pregnancy and birth.  During my pregnancy, it became clear that there is a strong culture if fear around ITP and pregnancy.

I’m now working on a new book this year which should be out in September 2017.

I’m so grateful to all the EMAILS and messages received through itp.and.me.g@gmail.com and via the comments on the website.  Now more than 10 000 people come to ITP & Me a month looking for information, help, advice and tips for living with ITP.

Thank you to everyone who has SHARED THEIR STORY with us here.

Cheers, Meg
