Hi everyone,
I really wanted to share my story and hopefully provide some positivity on a lengthy TTC journey.
Background, I’m 28 and been with my partner 13 years, been trying to conceive on and off for around 8 years with no success. I honestly thought it wasn’t possible for us at all but was fearful of going for fertility testing to be told a big fat no and around 2-3 years ago “stopped trying” as such, still wasn’t on contraception but just stopped trqfkint everything and came off prenatal vitamins and took the pressure off us. Most recently July 2025 I gave up smoking (cigarettes) and my partner cannabis and as of October 2025 was put on folic acid and iron supplements due to deficiencies, again pregnancy still at the back of my mind as the disappointment every month was too much.
This November I received my first ever positive pregnancy test, had an early reassurance scan and now at the 10 week mark. I just really wanted to share this with everyone as when I was struggling there was not many lengthy TTC successes I could find out there.
I hope my story brings some light to those who are struggling and shows that miracles can happen. I truly believe a combination of the medication I was put on along with mine and my partners quitting smoking played a huge part in this for us.
Praying you all get your BFP!!
