Answer

My husband and I tried to get pregnant for 2 years. Fertility testing showed both of us were perfectly healthy and should have no issues getting pregnant. We tried fertility treatments and nothing. I suffered two miscarriages during that time. I was convinced we’d never get pregnant and it was devastating. We stopped trying and I actually went back on birth control (I have really awful periods) to at least take a break for now. I’d been on birth control for a month (we weren’t using additional protection like we should have been to actually prevent pregnancy) and ended up pregnant! 
When I was 33 weeks my husband and I were hit by a drunk driver in a head on collision. We were both relatively fine, but I ended up with a piece of metal essentially crushing my abdomen and our baby died so I delivered a still birth child which was truly awful. And I wasn’t sure I’d ever want to try again. We considered adoption actually, but the process was long and very very expensive (more so than fertility treatments actually). We couldn’t afford it and thought about fostering when I ended up pregnant again. 
I carried to term and have a beautiful baby boy. He’s 5 now. Since then I’ve had my second child who is 2 and am pregnant for a third time. No complications and no difficulties getting pregnant either. So there’s always hope!

Pregnancy for me has been a rocky road from the beginning. With my first pregnancy for me and my husband I lost our baby five days after we said I do. The second pregnancy I literally miscarried the day my sister gave birth to my twin niece and nephew. It was heartbreaking and devastating to say the least. After that we just lost all motivation to try it has been almost nine months since my last miscarriage and no pregnancy. Then the saddest thing happened my grandmother on my fathers side passed away. We had to travel out of town for the funeral and it was just a very sad occasion. Well a few weeks later I realized my period had not come. I took test after test and all negative, so of course I figured something just threw my cycle off. Well one Tuesday as I’m getting ready for work I’m having horrible pain. I thought okay my period is coming. The pain got so bad I was in tears at work and had to leave. I immediately called my gyno and the told me to come in now. I called my husband who of course said come get me now I’m going with you. So we get to the doctors office and they have me leave a urine sample. My doctor walks in the room and says you took a pregnancy test a couple of days ago? I said yes and it was negative, she looks me dead in the face and says well ours came back with a faint positive. I didn’t even know what to say, I just looked at my husband. He looked so in shock, meanwhile I’m scared and everything else you can feel. Well nine months later I had Skylar Marie she had a week NICU stay but, she’s a wonderful four almost five year old. I did suffer another miscarriage after I had her but, was blessed with another 10lb 1 oz baby girl names Anastasia. Now I’m currently pregnant with our third and final girl due in April. I know this was super long but, stay encouraged I promise it will happen.

Answer

Took us 11 months to get pregnant... it’s not super long but it was still depressing and so hard. We were both fine, it just took a while. I really believe it was the timing because it is so perfect when I’m going to have the baby. I work in school and I’m due in the end of June so I will have almost a month before the baby is due and then 2 months after to be with it. And my husband and I grew so close going through the rough times of not being able to get pregnant. Im so happy with where our marriage is now ❤️ I don’t know how inspiring that is, but that our story.

Answer

It me over three years to get pregnant. Honestly (and this is just my personal experience) hearing other women’s success stories never helped me bc every situation is so different. Especially if they had success with something I had already tried and failed with. It sounds like she has a good friend though and the best thing you can do is continue to be there for her. Don’t try to over advice, just listen and let her vent to you, cry if she needs to, and know you’ll be there. Her time will come but in the midst of it all it doesn’t feel like it for sure. I’m not trying to knock what you’re trying to do with the inspirational stories, just proceed cautiously.
