I’m sure most people want to know why or how I’m even able to share my story. The answer is simple. I personally never wanted to share something like this…but God wanted me to. This blog was initially just a way for me to share my journey through infertility because it’s such a taboo topic, … [Read more…]
Whew..I hear some say that God won’t give you more than you can bear, but Lord, I don’t know how much more I can take. I think, however, that he will give you more than you can bear ALONE. That’s why we aren’t supposed to carry these burdens alone. We’re supposed to give them over to … [Read more…]
Not sure how to even start this post. Not really sure how I have the strength to write this post. We went in for our followup ultrasound and found that baby B’s sac was empty as we saw the week before…and baby A no longer had a heartbeat. I no longer had a viable pregnancy. … [Read more…]
This past week has been a good week but kind of stressful too. The good parts were that we were able to see a good, strong heartbeat when we went for our ultrasound and the baby is measuring right where it should be. We also went to visit my family members in North Carolina and … [Read more…]
I still can’t believe that I’m pregnant. I think I wake up everyday and say that too myself. It’s so surreal. So far my only symptom has been exhaustion and using the bathroom more than my norm (which was already a lot). I have my moments where I feel nauseous but I haven’t had any … [Read more…]
I CANNOT believe I’m actually writing this…WE’RE PREGNANT!! God has answered our prayers. I felt like I would NEVER get to say those words but I am now able to say them! This feeling is surreal. All of the emotional ups and downs, all of the money, the doctors visits, tests, tears, prayers were worth … [Read more…]
We had our transfer on 11/5/15 and everything went well! I’m so excited about this cycle. I’ve read so many different things about FET cycles and how they tend to have higher success rates than fresh cycles. I also did acupuncture with this cycle. Of course nothing guarantees that it will work, but I’ve done … [Read more…]
Well, we decided to go ahead and have a semen analysis done just to see if any progress has been made. We waited so long because when my husband changed jobs, we changed insurance and no longer had infertility coverage so we almost felt that it would be pointless to get the analysis. After some … [Read more…]
The emotional roller coaster of trying to conceive is the same every month. I’m sure that anyone who has been trying for awhile can attest to this truth. For me, I have a newfound hope whenever I start noticing ovulation symptoms. I try to find joy in the little things. For example, at least I ovulate … [Read more…]
I know that I’ve spoken of eating healthy and maintaining a healthy lifestyle in another one of my posts, but I thought that I would bring it up again as it’s really important. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been making sure that I actually eat the recommended amount (or more) of fruits and … [Read more…]
