July 21, 2019 I started my period... Again. We were going onto our 5th month of trying. It's not very long, as the average couple conceives within 6 months of trying, and sometimes even longer. I knew that, but it was so important that I conceived quickly because my husband was temporarily off cancer treatment so we could conceive. I wanted to get pregnant before he had to continue treatment or the cancer came back. So when my period started again, I was devastated.

But we went back to my husband's urologist and got another semen analysis to make sure everything was still normal since the treatment. Yep. Still normal. Then 9 days later, I tested POSITIVE. God is so good. My husband has continued to be in remission without treatment so his oncologist says he can just stay off and he'll just be monitored every couple weeks.

I'm just reflecting on all this today as it was just this time last year I was so heartbroken. But now we have a beautiful daughter who, though born prematurely by 6 weeks in March, is doing perfectly. I'm just so thankful.
