Taking my life back

It’s been over three years. Three years of trying, disappointment, doctors appointments, blood tests, medication. We stopped trying for about 6 months hoping that would do it. We tried literally everything short of IVF. so, I’m taking my life back. I’m going to enjoy my life. I’m going to stop obsessing over every little symptom. On August 6th, I’m going back to school for my masters degree. It’s something I told my dad I wanted to do before he passed. I know he would be so proud of me. I was the first in my family with a bachelors degree, and I’m raising the bar even further for my masters. I’m going to be 30 in a few months and it’s time I accomplish my life goals.

I’m still going to try because I want to be a mom so bad. If I’m not pregnant this month my doctor has scheduled ovarian reserve testing for me. Depending on that we will know for sure if IVF is the next step.

I know I can go to school and have a baby and continue to work full time. It will be a struggle but I know I can do it as so many others have. I’m done putting my life on hold because “what if I get pregnant”. It’s time to start doing things my way. Wish me luck!
