Started my fertility journey
Im sooo very excited!! After trying to get pregnant for 7 years..i told my husband last year that if i didnt get pregnant by the end of the year (2023) that we were definitely going to talk to somebody about it next year (2024). My birthday was August 5 th and we went out of town and really enjoyed ourselves.. we weren't even sure if we had sex that night lmfao. But we went on with life i only remembered having sex one time in august and it was a week after my birthday. To make a long story short it came time for my period and it didnt come the first day i said ok ill wait...well that turned into a whole week and im just like well maybe its an off month and it will come next week. That monday there was alot of brown discharge in my panties so i was like ok my period is coming on...after 2 days of nothing on either pad i put on i cane home from work and decided to take a pregnancy test it didn't take 2 minutes before it popped up positive sooo i took another test and they were all positive!!! Im excited my husband is excited. Im calling my doctor and i even called a place called Virginia Physicians For Women because my Pcp doesn't see pregnant patients (dumb right). I call VPFW and they schedule me for 8 weeks out but im worried because im a diabetic and the meds im on i dont want them to harm my pregnancy after i call for a day ir two to ask the doctor at VPFW what should i do about my medication after giving her a list of all my meds, her nurse calls me back and tells me tgat she said to stop taking all of them.im like ok bc shes a doctor she knows best...wrong!!.. im still worried about my medicine and trying to get them to understand that im high risk because of my diabetes i need this to be taken a little more serious so we need to talk about my medication. I get an appointment and lets just say i never made it to it because that next week (Wednesday) i started bleeding it wasnt alot but it was enough to worry about. Get to the hospital they do an HCG test and it came back being 18,968...then they did an ultrasound, not the ob gyn but the emergency room staff did telling me that they couldn't find the baby maybe its an ectopic pregnancy but she then says i dont see anything in your tubes and theres some free fluid in your uterus...im like ok..sooo she proceeds to tell me that the ob gyn will be down when they open at 9 im like so you basically just played in my coochie smh...sooo then after waiting 3 wonen come in and one says i can do the sca if you need help and im sooooo glad she did....after her looking at both ovaries she goes to my uterus and shows me that im 5 weeks and 6 days im crying and just sooo full of joy!!.. That joy sooon turned into a very sad day because 3 days after that i ended up bleeding again but heavier and i ended up miscarriaging in the waiting room after i waited an hour to be seen. It was the saddest day of my life to just find out i was pregnant after trying for soo long to losing our baby 3 days before my husband's birthday. I was depressed for a while but we didnt give up its been a little over 6 months since my miscarriage but Tuesday we had our fertility appointment and the transvaginal follicles scan went great now we just have to wait til i get my period to set an appointment to get that scan and my husband's semen analysis done!! Ive been praying more and we have been just sooo excited to get started!! Baby dust to all of you ladies please dont give up!! And i will update on this journey!!..
