I’ve been apart of this <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android">Glow app</a> for almost a year, since I started

fertility meds

and wanted some advice, insight, support, and cycle buddies. I see so many of you have such a similar path to mine, I feel like I know so many of you because of this crazy fertility journey we’ve shared.

I wanted to post this because in my two year journey I had so many other women on this app who gave me hope and shared their trials and successes with me. And I want to now do the same.

To those of you who have PCOS, who are on Femara or Clomid. To those of you who have done trigger shots and

. To those of you who have had a painful HSG test or countless tests to figure out “what’s wrong with you”. To those of you who feel like it’s never going to happen or think these meds will be your miracle pill on the first try. To those of you who cry at each failed round and negative test. I am you.

I have gone through every feeling you’ve felt. That excitement and anxiety to start a round of Clomid or Femara. Going in for your follicle scabs hoping you have 2-3 good size follicles that are gonna give you that precious baby you want so much. And the disappointment when you only have 1 that round and you tell yourself that next month will be better. Or you have the 2-3 follicles you wanted and you pray so hard one of them sticks. That countdown of days post ovulation to day 14 and praying that ever little symptom you feel, sore bound, nausea, cramp or twinge means it’s finally your month. Holding your breath as you see the fluid move across the pregnant girl test that you’ve taken by yourself in the bathroom so your spouse doesn’t see you fall apart when it’s negative. I am you.

I cried so many tears at each negative test. Two years worth of trying naturally, seeing doctors, so many rounds of blood work, scans, taking meds, shots, painful

. And seeing other women around you get their BFP and feeling like it will never be you.

Please, DON’T LOSE HOPE.

Don’t feel like it’s never going to happen.

Don’t feel like this is your fault.

Know that God has a plan for all of us, when the time is right. I know it’s so hard to wait and not know why it’s not happening when you want it so bad.

Have faith. Stay positive.

CONTINUE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE! Don’t put off vacations or dreams because this one is taking its time to show up. Live. Love. Make new dreams and goals. Stay positive. Don’t ever lose your faith.

After 2 years, 7 rounds of meds, 4 IUIs, 5 trigger shots, countless blood tests, a painful HSG I am 21 weeks with a little boy from Femara! It will happen!
