Hello All
I just want to share my journey and hopefully give hope to all
I’ve been TTC since last year, february 2019, since my husband works overseas- we tried every 3months, I had a chemical pregnancy twice, then last february we started again, i am already 36 and my hubby is 47. We have a 2 years old son, so it’s very difficult for us to do the baby dance during my fertile window because he sleeps with us plus the stress of this pandemic. But we still think positive: i take prenatal vitamins like folic, vit c and vit d, my husband take fish oil and vit d, i give my husband foot reflex 2x a week and fertility massage for myself (i watched in youtube)- every month- before my period i though i am pregnant and end up frustrated because my period will come. My period is very regular 26-28, for the past 9 months i gain weight. I put my frustration on food. Last sept, i had my wisdom tooth extracted, toke antibiotics for 5 days, my period was late, my cycle becomes 31 days instead 26-28 days, i was so afraid i was pregnant, my period came on the 31 cycle but only for 1 day, and the rest only spotting, i toke another pregnancy test just to be sure i am not pregnant but it’s negative. This month, october, i expected my period on the 21st of october based on 28day cycle, but nothing, i thought it was just late same like last sept..so i waited, on friday evening, i wanted to self massage myself so that the blood will come..i dont feel good and i feel my period is coming, cramping on and off and very very sore nipples, usually i will have sore nipples one week before my period and on and off cramping, and white discharge. This time the cramping is different plus he backache is killing me, my discharges are more this time, and am very sleepy, hungry and craves sweets all the time, on october 24- morning, my husband bought a pregnancy test, i told him i think my period will come today, because of the cramping and backache, he told me just check and if it’s negative then you can massage yourself so that the blood (period) will come. I already peed that morning so i will test my 2nd urine, and i was so shocked it was positive, with 2 dark lines, i let my husband check again maybe i was dreaming but it’s there, we both prayed and thanks God for the blessing. My son just turned 3 this month. Everything happens for a reason and the timing was just on the spot. We are so happy and still in shock especially my husband, we went to the laboratory for blood test and it was confirmed.
I know how hard it is to wait- but keep your hope up and keep on praying, and be healthy both of you and your dh. I almost, we almost lost hope, we opted for IVF next year if still no result this year , thanks God He answered our prayers. God bless all and baby dust
