I've had this app since 2018. However I was TTC before I downloaded the app. Realize I said I, well it was just me, going having lots of sex with my then bf. My bf at the time wanted kids but i never made it seem like i wanted it that badly and just wanted to surprise him. But then I realized I wouldn't be one of those "surprise moms." You know, surprised that you're 🤰. After I spoke with my then fiance in June 2018 I download the app and started tracking EVERYTHING.

In 2020 we decided to get checked out because we couldn't see what was the problem. Ofcourse I started to feel like a failure.😡 Like my body was failing me. Like I was broken🤬.. We did all the tests and at first they said my left tube was obstructed and my heart collapsed. But on our next apt they said nothing was wrong and we shouldn't have a problem conceiving...(Rollercoaster ride haw) For some reason we had stopped going to the <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> office.

But we kept trying, kept hoping, kept crying😢. Each month that damn period would come like clockwork. At times it would be 2-4 days late, you can imagine my excitement, but as soon as I took the test it would be negative and then poof period in a couple hrs or next day. 😭

We recently moved into our house and mu now husband's job partnered with Kindbody. They covered a full <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> cycle or 4 <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> cycles to employees. I took that as a sign to get serious help with assisted fertilization. At this point it's 2022, 4yrs of trying, that's 1,460 days of trying, 48 straight months of heartbreak 💔. We had to do all the tests all over again....still fine, both of us look healthy n fertile. We decided to do <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> even though the chances are less than <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. We factored in that if we're "fine" then maybe it'll work for us. Maybe I've been timing the sex wrong. Maybe there was a flaw somewhere. <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> isn't as easy as it looks. It took us 5 months to get the right dosage of meds and to ensure I didn't have a cyst bcuz if I did then I would have to wait the next month to try. Again that was 5 months of setbacks. And then one day the moons just aligned. No cyst, meds worked we had a follicle, we triggered that evening then went back after 2 days for insemination. Went back after a week and ofcourse my progesterone levels were low, so had to insert capsules.

My husband was AMAZING through the process. I was hopeful but I couldn't let that become excitement. My heart couldn't take it. My husband was always saying this is it, this is our baby, talking to it and I'm like stop, we'll see, I hope so. Nothing concrete. He

kept hope alive for us and i needed that because it couldn't be me. I prayed every night and I think God heard my cries and felt my tears. We did a blood test of Friday, two weeks after insemination. We couldn't get the results until Monday, so I tested and it was negative. So I'm there expecting my period to come over the weekend, nothing. So then I googled can progesterone cause delayed period, results 2-5 days. Always to the negative first, ruling out all probability. And then we got he call super late of Monday. Wait, no my husband called like 9am on Monday and they said they didn't have the results in the system. I'm like well she just can't be the one to deliver bad new and ofcourse 😞 discouraged. But then around 3 I got a call my HCG levels were 9.1 they want to do another blood test tomorrow 😒. I'm like so what does that mean, she goes oh yes it's above 5 so you're pregnant 😦 we just need to test again to see if the levels are rising. 😳😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😱🥺 I immediately go pee on a stick and "yes+" mind blown!

Moral of the story. DON'T GIVE UP! YOUR TIME IS COMING. I remember reading comments like this and being so grateful because it ga e me hope. I hope it gives you hope.🥰😍🥰😍
