6.5 years of trying, it’s finally our turn again!

Husband and I have been trying on and off for 6.5 years. Our daughter has watched her cousins become siblings time and time again, and even though she was always happy to become a big cousin again, she was also was just so sad because it wasn’t her becoming a big sister. She always talked about how they had one another and how she was lonely and she didn’t have anyone but mommy and daddy and her dogs and cat at home. It always broke my heart to hear her talk like that but I always explained that sometimes it’s not like easy for some women to get pregnant like it is for others. Told her it will happen when the time is right and that somewhat helped.

I’ve always had irregular and painful periods but the last 6 months, they’ve gotten so much worse with the skipping months and the pain becoming unbearable. So, I started watching what I was eating and becoming active in the gym 3 times a week. I set up a doctor’s appt a few weeks ago to talk about everything going on and to get checked for PCOS and endometriosis since both run in my family. Well, this is the news I got instead.

We are over the moon and I’m glad I found out because I wouldn’t have known until 12 or so weeks into this pregnancy. I’m glad I found out because I was drinking pre and post workout and loaded teas and I would have still been doing so if I wouldn’t have had this doctor’s appt.

I really think the life style change helped us conceive. I think I hit it dead on with my ovulation this time, too. I don’t know what exactly it was that helped but I’m glad something did!! 🤗

Please say some prayers, send good vibes, whatever you do, for us. I have a history of a miscarriage before our daughter and I am just so scared of that happening again.

But guys, I’m finally having my Halloween/fall baby that I’ve always wanted. Now if we have our boy, that’ll be the topping on the cake! 💙
