Hi!😀

I know that the title of this post is a bit overwhelming but I wanted to share a bit of inspiration for all of my fellow women trying to get that BFP.

I have been married for almost 5 years to my very supportive and wonderful wife. Over the course of the last 3 years we have actively been trying to get pregnant. I have been through 4 <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> cycles, over 17 ICI inseminations, switched sperm Banks four times and had one <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. Lol and through it all it was the <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> that is giving us our BFP and in March 2019 we are expecting a beautiful healthy baby.

I wanted to tell you all out there that are trying to be patient. I know that sounds like an over played record but I'm serious. There were many months when we tried and the stress from the procedures took a big toll on us as a couple and us as individuals. I know that it can be disappointing but if it's not your month it's not your month. keep hope and try again.

For those going through an <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> or considering it, stay hopeful. It can be a very stressful time or you can make it a very relaxing time. When we did ours, we did it in Washington and we took advantage of the time to have a small baby vacation. It helped alot. Mainly because of all of the medicine I was taking. it made me feel overwhelmed and alone but I reminded myself that despite what happened it was going to be ok.

I also had a lot of hiccups with my <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. My doctor told me they had seen 23 good mature follicles and when I did my egg retrieval they only got 7. Then only 5 were normal and out of that 3 fertilized and only one made it. I was definitely expecting a better out come but at the same time you have to remember that you can't control biology. it has a plan of its own.
