Success after 14.5 years of trying

Melissa

I have been consistently overweight at around 200 lbs. I have irregular periods, pcos, diabetes type 2, and I was 36 so a geriatric pregnancy. I had tried everything... ovulation tests, temping, mucus watching, pills, multiple sex sessions, saving up for sex week, regulating my blood sugar, different positions, different foods, avoiding stress, massages, conceive plus etc... anything but injections and <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. So what worked? I used vitex to regulate my period to a predictable 35 day cycle. We were on a break from trying that month because my blood sugar had gotten away from me over the holidays. My husband did whole 30 ( 30 day elimination diet to determine how different foods effect your body). We had sex once in my fertile week about 3 days before my positive ovulation test. February 15, 2019 my period was due and I had felt cramps but it wasn't showing. I used cheap test that came with my 100 count box of ovulation strips $8.95 total including 10 pregnancy tests I got online. It was clear as day and I took it mid day between shifts. I got an appointment for an ultrasound to make sure it was not in a tube. Clear as day we saw the heart beating. It was unbelievable. I spent most of my pregnancy in unbelief. At 37 weeks I was induced. She was perfect. For the first hour we did skin to skin bonding time and it went by in a flash as I just stared at her in disbelief. I had seen it happen but still couldn't believe it. I immediately wanted to be pregnant again even though life with a newborn was hard. I really miss being pregnant. I heard other people talk about loving pregnancy and I thought they were crazy but I get it now. The miracle of life is so beautiful. Don't get me wrong. It was filled with worry and uncertainty. I actually had my mil in the delivery room because I might die. I wrote letters to each family member and to my daughter. Through the pregnancy many days I could hardly feel her move and I know so many that have had at least one miscarriage to prepare their bodies for the rainbow baby I knew the chances were high especially after talking to the doctors and they tell you the high risk for tons of problems. If I had not seen videos of abortions before this point I might have had despite trying for so long. All that being said I just wanted to encourage you. Just because it has been a long time doesn't mean it can't happen. Blessings on your baby quest. Remember to appreciate every moment and don't let people steal your joy by focusing on negative things to come. Hopefully my period will come back soon so I can try again.
