I think I’m done TTC at 4 months...

At least for now.

Here’s the story.

I’m 19 years old and have been married for two years. Because of life circumstances, I got married young to the love of my life and we both have jobs. We’re doing very well financially for our age and even just bought two new cars and moved to a three bedroom house.

Everything is going well right now, except for my family back home.

Everyone I’ve talked to says I shouldn’t care what my family thinks because this is my relationship and I’m an adult. However, the stress of hiding it from them and ultimately having to announce it to them is causing me more heartache and frustration than the fact that I just got told that I have PCOS.

I would absolutely love a baby right now. In fact, it would be the best time for us to be TTC, given that it is going to take me a few years if I’m anything like most other ladies are who have PCOS. But being treated poorly by my family and even being told that I’m too young for a child at my doctors appointment, and not being taken seriously (to the point that I wasn’t told that my lab results were abnormal) is just too much stress to place on myself and my husband (who already has a high risk and high stress job).

And so... with a heavy heart, we’re done TTC for a few years. I know I’m young, but that baby would have had a mom and a dad that absolutely adored him/her and had a financially secure household to grow up in.

Thanks for listening to my story, ladies. I’ll be back in a few years with lots of “line eyes” posts and “positive opk questions” 😂❤️

Thank you 💕
