I wanted to share my story.
There is always hope and I hope someone feels better after reading this.
I tried to get pregnant in Sept 2004. It was such a struggle. I believe that Ortho Novum b/c pills inhibit your body from resetting. I took b/c pills for 12 years. I hoped that someday I would have a baby. Everyone else was getting pregnant.
On April 30, 2005, I decided to take a pregnancy test. I had been feeling sick and dizzy. Yay! It is positive!!! I couldn't believe it! Finally we were pregnant. We went to a wedding in May and we danced with my little baby in my belly. Then on May 19, I knew something was wrong. I started bleeding. On May 20, I bled heavily. The doctor said there is nothing we can do. I was only 6 weeks pregnant. On May 21, I passed a big clot. It was over. My beautiful baby was gone. I cried for days. I decided to quit my job on May 27.
I didn't know if I would ever recover. I looked online for support. I found Silentgrief friends. Silentgrief is the best website for grieving mothers. I also spoke to Hannah and Gary about my story. They published a book. I was so excited to see my story in it. I decided that we should try to conceive again. On August 6, I thought I was having my period so I figured we should take a break from conceiving. I started the b/c pills again.
On Aug 7, the bleeding stopped. I started to feel sick. On Aug 10, i took a test. It was positive!!! Oh my God, we were pregnant again. I immediately stopped taking b/c pills. I started bleeding again on August 19. I felt like my body was broken. The doctor did tests. They said your hormones are fine. Go home and rest. Yeah, whatever.
Nothing prepares you for 2 losses. I decided to exercise again and try to think positive. I had to break the news to my mother again that we were not pregnant.
Then a miracle happened. On Oct 31, I took a test. I was feeling so sick the past week. It was positive!!! Of course I took the test at 3 am. I could not wait!!! My hubby was trying to focus on the pink lines. He was very happy.
I am happy to say that Genevieve was born on July 9, just a week early. She is the love of my life. There is hope for mothers out there. Don't give up and don't take a break from conceiving unless you want to.
