I wanted to give you ladies some hope.
I had my first son naturally when I was 18. When he was 3, in 2009, I started TTC baby #2. After a little over a year of TTC with no luck, I was diagnosed with PCOS. We continued TTC for another year when I was also diagnosed with blocked tubes. I was told that IVF was my only option and due to the PCOS/blocked tube combo, I would never conceive naturally again. It was borderline impossible. Well, I went to another doctor who didnt agree. He said that yes my tubes were blocked but he didnt think it was as severe as my previous doc had made it out to be. He gave me clomid and I did 5 cycles of that. No Luck. I changed docs again and this doc agreed with the first one, that I wouldnt conceive naturally. I needed IVF. But my insurance wouldnt cover IVF, and instead of fighting it, she had me go through an IUI even though, in her words, "it was a waste of time." No Luck. I changed doctors because she made me feel rotten. This doc fought for my IVF. It was granted. My first IVF resulted in a
but ended in miscarriage at 6 weeks. We did IVF again, and I got another and this one was a sticky. I just gave birth on April 14, 2015. I had a c-section. I bled for about 7 weeks. My OBGYN gave me provera to giv me my period, because with the PCOS, I dont get it without medication. I was supposed to start it on June 1. I still had post partum bleeding, so i was told to skip that month and resume on July 1. But before I can take the pills, I have to take a pregnancy test, just to be sure. Well, I did, and it was the faintest positive. I believed it was leftover HCG so I waited for a few days to take another one.
It was darker than dark. I'm pregnant. Again. I am 5 weeks along, and I have a 12 week old baby.
After all the struggling, the heartache, the hell I went through to conceive my 2nd son, I conceived naturally.
Even though I was told it would never happen.
Doctors dont decide your fate, a higher power does. Whether you believe its God, Allah, Science, whatever! Dont let anyone tell you that you cannot ever conceive...unless you are either not a woman, or had a hysterectomy. Other than that, as long as you have the parts, they can work.
I hope you ladies all get what you are wishing for. Remember, I was in your shoes, I hated it. I still hate what I had to go through to get my baby, but it was worth it. And it will be worth it when you get to hold your precious babies.
If I can get pregnant with PCOS (which means no ovulation) and blocked tubes (which means no path for sperm to cross)...I whole heartedly believe that YOU can get pregnant too.
As hard as it is...RELAX. Stress WILL stop you from getting pregnant. I know its easier said than done. I hated when people told me to relax. I would always tell them to go fuck themselves (excuse the french). Unless your doctor recommends it, dont go nuts doing all that stuff that supposedly increases your chances of conceiving. Eat this, poke that, drink this, take that, do this. Most of it is bull, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
Good Luck Ladies and I hope that I gave you some hope and belief!
