TTC for 3 months before I went into the doctor's and realized I had uterine polps. Had surgery to remove that. Started fertility drugs. 4 months later positive test! SO excited! because I was in fertility treatments I knew I had ovulated 2 eggs I went in to get an ultrasound at exactly 8 weeks, excited to learn if it was a singleton or twins... instead they told me "there is nothing in your uterus". I was like "I have taken MULTIPLE positive pregnancy tests and have been morning sick for 2 weeks, check again". Then I was diagnosed with "entopic pregnancy of unknown origin" and they did a lot of bloodwork. They never found the fetus but the bloodwork told the doctor that it was not a healthy pregnancy and she said if it was in a tube, I was super lucky it hadn't already ruptured and if I wanted to prevent a trip to the ER (and maybe losing a tube) I should do a methotrexate shot to terminate the pregnancy ASAP. 😭I did it same day, then again about 2 weeks later.

It gave me worse nausea than morning sickness for a month. It took MONTHS for me to not test pregnant and because methotrexate causes birth defects we couldn't try to concieve for months. Then back to the doctors. My uterus developed first another polop then a fibroid both of which needed surgery. All this while I am tracking ovulation and having timed sex and getting negative test after negative test. Feels like it's never going to happen. Then my husband and I budgeted for IVF. I get a ovarian cyst and they say I can't do fertility drugs (or IVF) until it goes away in a month or two. It's been 20 months of trying. We have lots of sex 3 days before my ovulation (it was my husband's birthday) and none closer to ovulation because I was so tired of trying. Positive test via totally naturally conception! I am now 16 weeks and my husband is calling him his birthday present 🤣.

It's so hard. But I got to see my baby wave at us via ultrasound at our 12 week appointment. It will all be worth it!
