8 weeks!

I can't believe today is 8 weeks!
Two months ago, I was starting my 7th cycle TTC since our miscarriage, thinking there was no way that it would be our month. Of course I always had hope but with part of my window falling across a time I would be at a conference, who knew what would happen. After DH had his semen analysis, I was optimistic that the SLIGHTLY low motility would be resolved, but I was convinced it would take a while. Luckily for us, we didn't have to wait any more cycles, and we got a BFP a few weeks later!!!
TTC is one of the hardest things a couple can go through. It tests your willpower to be diligent to creating a new life, and takes a lot out of you as a person. It is extremely disappointing to get a BFN month after month, it wears you down.
I guess my point is, don't give up trying. I did not think it would happen for us and it did! My next US is on Wednesday, and I have positive thoughts of a healthy heartbeat for the little asskicker. I can't wait to see our baby again. <3

 | Comment from jennavee » Posted Dec. 16, 2013 9:40am So happy for you! I totally agree that TTC is one of the hardest things a couple can go through! I kept telling DH that I wish we could have just had a surprise baby, it would have been a shock, but I think even that would have been easier! I'm also glad that I was on CTP and made so many friends during the TTC process! It really makes a difference!! <3 |
