My pregnancy journey & rainbow baby!
So I'm 20 and my husband is 23. We have been trying for a baby since March 2015! I know I was only 18 at the time but my OB told me I had PCOS and my ovaries were getting worse and that if I wanted a baby of my own I needed to start trying because it would take a while and I would probably need fertility meds. So we started immediately because all I ever wanted was a baby! Fast forward to March 2016, we still had no luck (so I thought) until I started bleeding one night and went to the ER. I found out that day that I was pregnant and I also found out that day that I was miscarrying. I was devastated. We lost our baby on March 4th, 2016! 👼🏻 fast forward another year and still nothing. Negative tests every month and I hadn't had a period of my own in over a year. They just quit coming so I was taking Provera every month to have a period then my doctor started me on Femara because nothing else was working. The first round was unsuccessful.. second round was unsuccessful.. if the third round failed we would've had to move on to hard fertility meds. I was scared to take a test in March like I was supposed to so I didn't... until March 24th when my friend talked me into it. Instantly 2 pink lines! I cried!!! When I went to the baby doctor about a week later he said I was 4 weeks and 6 days. He estimated my date of conception to be March 4th, 2017! Idk if you all believe in God or not but I know he knew what I needed and it was exactly 1 year after we lost our first that we conceived our second! Our first baby hand picked this baby just for us! Found out a few weeks ago it's a girl!! We are now 20 weeks and blessed beyond measures. What I'm trying to get at is if you're struggling with fertility don't give up even when it gets hard there's always a light at the end of the tunnel and if you've miscarried, there's hope for you too even though it's hard! And if you've had both like me, there's even hope for you! Even if it doesn't feel like it at times, God always has the right timing. Don't turn your back on him. I did. I lost all faith I blamed him for my infertility and I stopped believing in him because I was in such a dark place in life I regret it all now because he knew after all when the time would be right!
