A message of hope!

If this cycle turns into a BFP I’ll be so thrilled. We started ttc (first for me) 5-6 months ago and what a journey this is! I had a chemical pregnancy (4 weeks) just last cycle and can’t believe it’s only three weeks later at 7dpo and I’m having very real symptoms (even stronger than my 4week chemical pregnancy). Nausea 🤢, cramps, 🌩 , stinky gas, ⛽️ hoo hoo lightning (even in my inner thigh), bloated, headache, sick 😷 a cold, I think my naturally oversized boobies are even bigger, falling out 🤭 everywhere 😂 , my man doesn’t mind that though... I’m praying this is the cycle for a healthy pregnancy, child and start of a healthy new family together with my amazing guy (hopefully soon to be fiancée).

Yes, I’m already peeing on my cheapies, no shame, negatives so far, as expected.

I had prepared myself to expect a chemical pregnancy or loss, because of my age, a prior pcos diagnosis, fertility dr (last month of trying naturally), and medications for a disability called Trigeminal Neuralgia, along with other things.

I had my first saline infused sonogram- I was the lucky duck who’s in the rare group to get excruciating pain. I’ve had brain and spine surgery, and this was up there in pain level for me. I suppose a few of us have very reactive uterus’s with the saline. Don’t you worry- Most don’t feel much at all. If I’m not pregnant this cycle I have another sis in March- this time with some pain meds and a full breakfast! I hope this doesn’t mean birth will be intolerable.

When I saw I was ovulating just two weeks after my chemical pregnancy, I knew I wanted to keep trying because I keep getting older and hope to avoid treatments, although I’m all for them if I need to.

Don’t ever give up hope and always love yourself! If not this month, then another, and if never, there is a child for you. All will be well!
