Roxanne's Journey to Glow

I met my DH on holiday with my family in 2004 when I was 15 and he was 20. We got married when I was 18 and wanted to start TTC right away.

I threw away my pill and 2 years down the line...nothing happened, except one suspected chemical pregnancy. My cycles that were so "all over the place" that I just decided to go back on the pill for some normality.

I had no idea about ovulation and fertility at the time:(

When our 5th anniversary came up I decided to chuck the pills again...months passed and still nothing when eventually March this year after 3 months of no AF and numerous pregnancy tests I got a bfp but was only 5 weeks. It was confined with a blood test and 3 days later after making all our announcements I woke up on pain and bleeding. Went to the doctor in a panic and my hCG was almost nonexistent by then.

I laid in bed for 2 days in pain and then decided I needed to make an appointment when everyone started saying "what did you do to miscarry". Finally had my appointment after 64 days of no AF and was put on a progesterone pill to induce a withdrawal period. Was then put on injectable which made me feel horrible but that didn't work. I decided to research a bit and came across Glow. Since joining I have had 3 35 day cycles and have stocked up on ovulation tests this month!

So happy I can finally get educated about my body and help make the process of TTC easier when your aren't one of the "lucky I tried one cycle" ladies. :)
