First and foremost, I need some support. I need somebody who can comfort and share a similar story. I come from a gray background and am not a big sharer on anything personal so please show some love!

My boyfriend and I have been trying to conceive since September of 2017. I knew I would struggle becoming a mommy, but I never knew I would struggle this much. When I was 10 years old, my pediatricians observed and diagnosed me with hypothyroidism. Being 10, I didn’t realize that this disease was going to be harder than remembering to take a pill everyday. This tiny pill that I take everyday regulates my WHOLE BODY. Reproduction is at the top of the list. Which means...

Bad thyroid function = No baby

For over a year now, I’ve held myself together with friends and family. I’ve took the hard “when are you having a baby?” question. I’ve had countless big fat negatives. Watched more and more of my peers, who didn’t want nor have the lifestyle of one who should raise a child, get pregnant. It’s frustrating. It’s heartbreaking.

I do believe my day is out there, the ovulation strips say so, but I’m not as hopeful as I once was. Enjoying the journey is tough after so long.
