A baby is worth trying for, forever.

So I haven't been sharing too much about our journey to start our family, since we lost our second baby in October. After losing the baby, I went into a very dark place for a while. My heart was shattered, but since then I have learned to cope a little. 

Recently we have started trying to conceive again. That decision in itself was hard to make, because the thought of losing another baby is heart wrenching. This time around, I think I have figured out what I need to sustain pregnancy, carry full term and deliver a healthy baby. 

Let me explain. 
With my last pregnancy everything was going great, my levels were perfect, the baby's heart beat was beautiful, and the baby was growing and measuring on track. I started having severe abdominal pain and that scared me, so I went to the ER... The baby was fine, it turned out I had a cyst on my left ovary.... I was told that cyst was giving off a hormone called progesterone which was sustaining my pregnancy at the time. The cyst pain slowly started to fade away, and a week later I lost the baby.... 

I truly believe that the next time I conceive, if I am prescribed progesterone that I can have a baby. I don't believe anything is wrong with my husband or myself, we can GET pregnant. I just need to be able to stay pregnant, and I truly truly believe that progesterone is the key in doing so. 

So I have been drinking water, sleeping right, eating good, and taking my prenatal vitamins daily... 

I just have a feeling our time is coming soon. Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive in our journey to start our family. Positive vibes our way as we continue to try to conceive, again. 🙏✨
