Finally pregnant!
From the time I started my period at 14, they were irregular. I suffered from acne and seeked medical attention to address my issues as a teenager. My OBGYN diagnosed me with PCOS and prescribed birth control pills to help.
I stayed on birth control for the most part for over 10 years, stopping in October of 2015!
In 2016 my husband and I became engaged & we started planning our dream wedding! I sought medical attention at this time letting my doctor know I was concerned about getting pregnant due to my medical history. My periods with out birth control were inconsistent. The doctors brushed me off so I figured I’d be able to get pregnant easily. The doctor (a new doctor) even told me I did not have PCOS & that I was misdiagnosed!!
My husband and I got married June 24, 2017 and we were very eager to start a family! I was 27 years old and we started trying immediately. We did not use any protection for the past 2 years & I just blamed it on unpredictable periods and not having sex at the right time.
In January 2018 I decided to consult with a Reproductive Endocronologist. She diagnosed me with a “mild form of PCOS” and hypothyroidism. I was immediately put on medication for my thyroid and Clomid.
In March I finally became pregnant! We were so happy but my HCG was not rising normally so they let me know the pregnancy would not be viable.
Devastated, we decided to keep trying with the clomid! I also wanted to take a more holistic approach and talked with my RE about acupuncture! She recommended someone who they work with very closely so I felt very comfortable working with her.
I found out I was pregnant again at the end of May!! My HCG is rising normally & I’m continuing weekly acupuncture during my first trimester to pr vent miscarriage!
We are thrilled! I am still nervous and will probably be during the first 12 weeks! Today I am 5 weeks & 4 days pregnant 🤗
My advice to anyone trying to conceive is to be proactive! I went to the library and took out every fertility book I could! I slowly started making changes to my diet and switched out my cleaning products etc.
Please pray for us & that this will be a sticky baby!
