So I miscarried on January 1st of this year 🥺. We decided to stop trying in May after missing three cycles after the miscarriage. We had been trying for about three years and I was tired. I was mentally emotionally drained. I stopped and started therapy twice a week for the next 4-5 months. Decided to focus on starting a career because I am 25, and I want to have some stability for our future babies.❤️. We decided to start trying again officially. But I ran out of OPKs a long time ago. So I’m not doing that because of the stress. I am taking Myo-Inositol because it helps women with PCOS regulate insulin which also helps regulate hormones. It’s how I got pregnant in December. This year has been taxing on me mentally/emotionally seeing SOOOO MANY pregnancy announcements. It breaks my heart every single time. Especially when EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Of my girl friends have all had their first babies within the time that I’ve been trying. Some are on their second or third. It’s soul crushing and isolating. It eats away at your self confidence, your self esteem, your will to live. &I think it affects me more because of my lonely childhood. I grew up in the foster care system because of my alcoholic parents. I’ve had to overcome a lot to get to me where I am now. I’ve put in a lot of work. I want to be worthy enough for my children, and I want them to grow up in a healthy environment. Anyway. I just wanted to relate somehow to anyone else who is currently going through infertility or loss. It would be sooo nice to have some girl friends to talk to especially with the isolation from this pandemic!
