It gets better

Jessica • Married 2015. 👼 7.14.17 / 🌈 👶🏻 💙 2/27/19! “We prayed. God answered!”

Just wanted to share my story with the hope it helps some of you in a similar situation. Mind you, I’m a pretty religious person so I feel that God is at the center of this all. But regardless of your beliefs, things will get better. In July I had a missed MC at 12 weeks. It was the worst time of my entire life. I sunk into extreme depression. I had a D&C.; Recovery was tough and I got an infection. Finally, 7 weeks later I got my first period. It was normal. We were told to wait 2 cycles before trying though so we didn’t TTC just yet. Then my second period never came. I started spotting, had cramps, pain, back soreness. Something was not right. I spent a month convincing the Dr to see me. They kept telling me I was fine and just recovering still. I didn’t buy it. Finally she ordered an ultrasound. It came back showing “multiple tiny growths” in my uterus and a cyst on my right ovary. She narrowed it down to polyps or retained MC tissue. Both are not good for conceiving again. Of course I was upset and scared but we talked through my course of action and decided on surgery to remove the growths and monitor the cyst. Surgery was scheduled for 10/27. Then last weekend I got a period. 3 weeks late but yay. It was heavy. So so so heavy. Like 10 pads in 1 day. That heavy bleeding lasted 2 days and was full of clots. I called my Dr and she suggested another ultrasound to see What the growths looked like after the period from hell. That ultrasound was today. Now, I had been praying about this all day every day...that whatever the issue was, the surgery cleared it and my surgical team knew what they were doing. I was convinced this second ultrasound would show the same growths the first one showed and honestly, I was prepared to hear that and I was fine with it. To my surprise, my ultrasound today showed nothing. My uterus was clear and smooth. The ovarian cyst was gone. My Dr said surgery is not needed and we can start TTC any time. I’m still in shock but so very grateful. Miracles happen. Prayers are answered. Things will get better. For each and every one of you. Prayers for you all 💕 On to the next challenge...bringing a healthy baby into this world!
