Tell me your TTC journey

What a journey this has been.

I’m a huge planner. It all started off as a discussion between my bf and I then turned into a plan.

The plan: Let’s just let it happen on its own, I want it to be natural and not even use ovulation tests.

After a few months, I caved and said okay well maybe ovulation tests, pre seed, flex cups, prenatals, primrose oil, but for sure no fertility drugs.

Then one horrible miscarriage later and many many more long months, I caved again and went to the OB and began a Clomid cycle and said well this has to work, I’ll do acupuncture too but it has to work because IVF is soooo far from the natural plan/experience I wanted.....

And then Clomid doesn’t work (well I ovulated but no BFP) and I’m going insane and decided to stop Clomid and did a cycle of natural remedies.

Although the natural remedies tremendously helped with shortening my typically long cycle, AF came.

& just like that- I’ve accepted IVF as our future and we begin May 2021. Soon enough we will be holding our 🌈 baby and they will be worth every step, struggle, and tear.
