So today I’ve had a complete breakdown (or what I felt was a breakdown). I woke up to a text from a family member that said “Hey kristen…just saw your email….i didn’t even know u were pregnant and that u had a miscarriage. ..when did this all happen….why didn’t anyone tell me?” That’s basically how … [Read more…]
Jeremiah 29:11 has literally helped me maintain my sanity over the past couple of months and just throughout various seasons of life. This verse answers any questions that I may have about my life and it’s purpose. It may not be as specific as I may WANT it to be…but it’s very clear. It says … [Read more…]
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…]
One of the ways that I help myself “get over” disappointments is by finding something “new” to distract myself which is part of the reason I decided to go ahead and jump right into another cycle. Of course I prayed and asked God to comfort me because this was such a hard time. We wanted this … [Read more…]
