I can’t thank god enough for this precious miracle growing inside of me. I’m eternally grateful for this new chapter I’m embarking.

This post goes for my fellow ladies who have been trying for years, don’t give up and don’t lose hope. I have been trying to get pregnant for 3 years and 💥, it happened.

I have a 6yr old son, who was born in 2013, I was 20. I got pregnant 2 yrs later and had a natural loss at 4mths, in 2015. (Hardest thing I had to endure in my life, having no answer was eating me alive) I immediately got the Mirena, had it for 9-10 months, then I was ready to try again. I got it removed and long story short, every month I was disappointed. I was even given clomid at one point and nothing. Honestly, looking back I think I just wasn’t ovulating or timing it correctly.

Fast Forward to 2019, this was my year.

(I will be posting every little change/ thing I did differently to get pregnant. This post is just informative for those who have been struggling, I’ve read a lot of women posting about giving up, and this is jut some encouragement, YOU COULD BE NEXT, and YOU ARE AMAZING and WORTHY.)

First change: Since November, I started getting my act together with my diet. I lost 70

pounds (to this day)

January: My husband and I began visiting church, and getting ourselves together, spiritually. We changed our life for the better and he even dropped his bad drinking habit.

February: A church friend gave me some tips on products that helped her conceive when she was having a hard time. She recommended me to buy the easy@home kit (ovulation strips and pregnancy test from Amazon) and Pre-Seed (lube from Amazon). While looking that up I ran into some pills called Conception (also on Amazon) I read a ton of reviews and decided to buy also. As I was reading through the reviews many women also talked about using Softcups (disposable menstrual cups from Target) and I also bought a bbt thermometer.

March: I received all my items and could not wait to use them. Finally my period came on March 15, THIS WAS MY CYCLE, I WAS READY. Everyday, since the first day of my period I took the conception pill. After my period I started taking my temperature and using the OPKs and logging on glow. I started using the softcups and pre-seed after sex every other day during my fertile window. (I didn’t even wait till my first positive OPK because it was taking too long and I thought something was wrong with me because I was never getting my positive)

April 4: Cycle day 21: FINALLY got my positive OPK, I had sex that day using pre seed and softcups (I was almost an expert by that point lol) Also, I had sex the next 5 days because my OPKs were positive for 3 days. After sex I would insert the softcups and would put my legs in the air (I don’t know if this would help but I was doing anything to get pregnant by any means.)

Ok here comes the hard part.. The dreaded TWW, waiting to take a pregnancy test... I couldn’t contain myself I started testing 7dpo it was negative, 8dpo also negative. April 15, 9dpo and a faint line showed up I couldn’t even believe it. My heart felt like it was going to come out of my chest...

That night I couldnt even rest I was so nervous I had to test and there it was again faint line. Everyday since then it just started getting darker.

April 23, I went in to the ob and it was confirmed. They tried a ultrasound but nothing showed, they say I must be like 4 weeks preg and schedule me to go back at the end of May. I still take preg test because I can’t believe it.

May 21: I go back to my OB, and I’m officially 9wks pregnant and even saw my baby.

I’m so over the moon excited, after so many prayers, tears, hurt and finally happened. To God be all the glory, this would not be possible without him.

The products I listed worked for me in one cycle. I highly recommend them, I never tracked my ovulation or took temps, I never used lubed and never used menstrual cups (let alone to hold semen close to my cervix, which is not the purpose of them but they have helped many women upon reviews. Also I actually ended up liking them and even consider using them in the future for my periods)

Thank you for reading the long post but I wanted to give women, who are going through this, hope because I too have been there and after almost 3 years, here I am finally pregnant with my rainbow baby.. 😊😊
