How I Got Pregnant After Trying

I’ve posted a few times and some people know my story. I’ll just sum it up...

I got my Mirena IUD out 5 years ago because it was causing me a lot of pain and problems. I would bleed sometimes for weeks even though you weren’t supposed to for 4-5 years. Every time I’d have sex, I’d have to stop because it was too painful and when my doctor took it out he said it had moved. When I got it out, my period got longer and longer each month, sometimes would skip a month, and it irritated me so much. I had tried to get pregnant and then gave up.

I ended up getting pregnant last year at the end of October, and then lost my son at exactly 20 weeks. The most devastating thing ever and I’m not going to go into detail of that day, it’s very graphic and hurts my heart. I lost him due to having an incompetent cervix which they believe was a result from the Mirena. Nobody knew, and it was too late when I arrived at the hospital.

When I lost him I was so worried something was wrong with me and that I’d never be able to have kids and it would upset me almost every day. Every month was disappoint and heartache when my period would come. I asked my doctor if there was anything I could do. I’m 22 years old and healthy and went through something most people my age would never.

My doctor told me I could have an HSG Dye Test done, and to call him the first day of my next period. So August 1st, I got my period and called him and he scheduled it for the 7th day of my cycle. I got it done and my tubes were good, one of them looking a little skinnier than the other, but still ok. I went mad with testing. Doing ovulation tests so I can get just the right moment. I had also been taking a pill that thins cervical mucous and we used Preseed but not as directed so I figured it wouldn’t work. We just rubbed some on the opening of me and on him as well. I’ve also been taking Prenatal vitamins for a few months just in case... And somehow I am pregnant! I got a positive 5 days before my missed period 😍 I get to try to have my rainbow baby and my angel baby watch over him/her 😍😍😍😍💜

If you have been TTC,

I highly recommend doing these things and trying these products:

HSG Dye Test: I believe it helped clear my tubes of any blockage

Taking FertilPrep: Thins cervical mucous to help sperm

Prenatal: I Take Nature Made Prenatal Multi

Preseed: Helps sperm travel

ovulation tests: I used First Response opk

pregnancy tests: I got my first Positive with a Clearblue at 5 days before missed period and also double checked with First Response and honestly just kept testing because I couldn’t believe it!!!!

Please give these things a try if you haven’t already. I’m still in shock as I was not expecting it to happen.

My symptoms included: I believe I felt an “ovulation pinch” because I was like what was that 😳 around the time I ovulated,

Exactly a week later I was cramping all day intermittently and I’m guessing that was implantation cramps, but no bleeding

From then I was having Back Pain,

Acne like crazy,

Dry Skin,

Headaches,

And extreme Fatigue. I even had to leave work one day I was so tired, it was the day before I got my first Positive 😬

I hope these things will help you, and good luck 🌈🤞💜
