Before I got pregnant with my first son, I spent the previous 5 years being told by numerous doctors in 3 different states they I probably would never experience pregnancy. I had lots of girly issues and couldn’t find a definitive reason, but they all said I wouldn’t have kids. And then bam, I got pregnant. Fast forward 5-6 years, my husband and I started trying for our first, my second, and I even had to get on fertility meds (cl0mid) to try and help since I was still experiencing girly issues. After 8 months of meds, taking OPKs 1-3 times a day, tracking EVERYthing I could, we went on a trip. That first month of no meds and no calendars or tests, we got pregnant. Unfortunately, I miscarried around 9-10 weeks. I got pregnant immediately after though, didn’t even have a cycle between. Our son is now 10 months old and my oldest is 6 years old.

My husband and I had a talk one night about when we would start trying again for another (I have 2 boys and really want a girl) bc I’m getting older (turning 36 in July) plus my previous issues. I got my cycle just a few months ago and have been off and on been testing for ovulation out of curiosity. From what I could tell, I hadn’t been ovulating since I started my period again. I figured it was maybe bc I was taking birth control pills. So after our discussion, we decided I’d stop taking the bc, hope to start ovulating soon, and then we’d start actively trying again, assuming it would take a long time like before. That was April 8th. We baby danced that night and the following and that was pretty much it for a couple of weeks. I started feeling tired, and I got it in my head talking to my mom and started panicking. I ended up taking a test, and the line was SOOO faint. I was in shock and disbelief. They really mean it when they say don’t miss a pill! Lol.

After NUMEROUS tests, I started to believe it and went to the VA clinic to get confirmation and get referred to an OB. We have our first scan May 21st and I’m so anxious.

I can’t believe we got pregnant literally AS SOON as I stopped taking my birth control! God is good. Still praying for a little girl lol, but I love being a boy mom too!
