Finally

Samantha • Grateful mama of 3 💞

For a background before I get into our journey update, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant with our second child for 2 years next month. This journey has taken a huge mental toll on us both, its been hard, its been amazing, and its been all over a roller coaster of a ride. We have a 4 year old son who we love and adore so much. He's always asking for a sibling, which makes this journey that much harder for us.

My periods are not that regular, sometimes they are only one month apart and sometimes they are two months apart. We have tried a lot of things. bbt tracking, fertility teas, keeping my legs in the air for 10 minutes, ovulation tests, sex every day, sex every other day, losing weight, mucinex to help CM, and tracking CM. My family doctor was not helpful at all. She always told me to lose weight and keep trying. The only advice I got from her was to try mucinex when I notice my cervical mucua start getting like egg whites. I've used ovulation tests one cycle and came to one conclusion, I'm not ovulating consistently or at all. I never got a positive ovulation test during that cycle and that was when I decided we needed to intervene with medication. So I made an appointment with a Midwife to further look into the problem. I will say before I get into what happened, she was the most understanding about my concerns. I'm very very pleased with how I was treated and will definitely be using her as our Midwife when we get pregnant. During the appointment, I explained that my period is irregular ranging from one to two months. I also let her know that I never got a positive ovulation test the cycle before so I was concerned I wasn't ovulating. We went over a few options for medication. She told me that if my period doesn't start before the 14th next month, she will prescribe me something to jump start my period as well as letrozole to make my body ovulate. The best part about this appointment? She NEVER ONCE mentioned anything about my weight. I have never felt so understood and heard in my life. I'm super excited to start our next cycle and hopefully we will get pregnant soon. Please send us lots of baby dust and prayers!!
