Pregnant after 13 years of secondary unexplained infertility, Naturally!!!!!
**Long Story**
I came here today because I feel that I have to share my story, after what God did for me.
I’m 37 years old, and I’ve been struggling with secondary unexplained infertility for 13 years. When I was 19, I decided to have my first child, and got pregnant within 3 months, with no issues. When my daughter turned 4, my husband and I decided to start trying for baby #2. After I had almost 2 years trying, I decided to seek for help. I started to visit infertility doctors, got all types of test done, and everything always came back normal. They also ran test on my husband, and his test came back all clear. During my whole infertility journey, I have visited more than 5 different doctors, and they all gave me the diagnose of unexplained infertility. My tubes were checked and were all fine. We tried timed intercourse, with Femara, Clomid, inyeccions, everything! But I never got a positive pregnancy test. We started medication for our first <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>, but unfortunately had to be canceled ( I produced too many follicles). We took a rest and tried again the month after, but unfortunately it was another month of negatives. I was so tired by this time, that I decided to take a brake, and just heal. 3 years ago, we decided to try IFV for the first time, since the doctor that I was helping us, told us that was the only way we could have a greater chance of getting pregnant ( that’s what they always say) 🙄. We did our first <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>, using most of our savings, hoping it was the answer to our journey, but it wasn’t. They transfer two embryos, and none of them implanted. I was devastated! I went into a really bad depression, a time that I really don’t want to remember. That was 3 years ago. Middle of 2021, I visited a new doctor in hopes of new answers. After I explain to her my entire journey, she suggested I should have a hysteroscopy, just to explore the inside of my uterus, to see if there was something in my uterus that was preventing implantation, since I had a negative <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> cycle, plus all the years that I’ve been trying. She found a simple endometrial hyperplasia. She took a sample of tissue from my uterus to run test and thankfully everything came back normal. She put me on a 3 month treatment for the hyperplasia, and everything was good after that. After the 3 months, we tried another cycle with Femara and injections, but unfortunately I did not respond to the treatment ( no follicles ).
Unfortunately I couldn’t continue another treatment at the time, so I took a rest.
Fast forward to this year, July 23rd. I wanted to restart everything again and try again. When I went to my doctor, she told us that the only treatment she would recommend us, do to my history, is <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> 🙄. Immediately told her we could not afford another round of <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>, and she pretty much told us that was the only way. I remember I left so depress and down, feeling like this was not for me.
I remember I got home, and I just started praying, crying my balls out because I couldn’t understand why it was so hard for me to have a second child. I ask God that day, that I didn’t wanna have to do <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>, because My desire was to get pregnant naturally. I want it a miracle from him. I knew he was able to, if it was his will. I last it about a week praying for this. I used to wake up in the middle of the night and just started to pray, pray and pray.
My fertile week came, and I remember I told my husband, listen: Let’s just keep trying, having regular sex and not lose hope. You never know. We had sex two days on my fertile week, 1st and 3rd of august. My ovulation was August 5th, According to Glow. Yesterday I spend the entire day with a stabbing pain on my lower back left side. First time in my life I have a pain like that. It was really odd to me, so like every other month, it was time to get a pregnancy test since I had sex on my fertile days.
This was 11dpo. I don’t know how to explain what I felt when I saw those two line!!!!! I couldn’t believe it! I was so in shocked that I couldn’t even cry at the moment 🤣. I couldn’t believe it, My Husband went and got me 2 more HPT 🤣. When I saw that those test were also positive, That’s when I came back to earth , and started to just cry and cry! I couldn’t stop. I’m so beyond grateful and happy that the lord blessed us with a second baby, exactly how I asked for it, literally two weeks ago. NATURALLY!!!!
The lord answered our prayers and we are so beyond thankful for this miracle.
Guys, please don’t give up. Keep praying and don’t lose hope. That is the only thing that keeps us strong. Don’t ever lose your faith, keep praying and God will answer your prayers in his time. It took 13 years for me!
Baby #2 Coming April 2023 😍
