Thanks for sharing. I have watched your videos since before you got engaged! My husband and I stopped using protection in march of 22 and just wanted to see what would happen and then started tracking and intentionally trying in Jan 2023. Still not pregnant. Before we even started trying, I discovered I have elevated prolactin levels. I got on medication to lower it and all the doctors said "be careful, most women get pregnant really fast after getting on this medication so if you're not trying then use protection" They said this to me like five times before they let me leave the dr office lol. I've been on this medications for almost two years now to keep my prolactin low so that I can get pregnant and I still haven't gotten pregnant. It's such a mind game because all those doctors had me expecting to get pregnant on the first or second try after starting this medication. I'm just trying to have faith in God's timing. I understand the struggle of watching your sisters have kids while you aren't falling pregnant. It's so hard because you are so happy that you're gonna have a niece or nephew and love them so much but you also just want your own so badly. I definitely cried for a day or two when my sister told me she was pregnant with her second. For both kids she was not trying to get pregnant nor really in a financial place to have a baby. I just don't understand how she can get pregnant by surprise twice while I can't no matter how hard I try. I know you get it. AND our entire small group is pregnant or just had a baby. We pretty much all started trying around the same time or within about 4 months of each other and out of five couples we are the only ones who haven't been able to get pregnant. I love them and I am so happy for them and I love the babies that were born recently. But it's such a struggle some days. Personally, I am open to trying something like clomid or letrozole but I personally wouldn't do IUI or IVF for moral, financial, and ethical reasons. We have done blood tests and sperm analysis (everything is normal and good except I have low vit d so I supplement) but I haven't seen a fertility specialist yet or done further invasive testing. That's probably our next step after my blood results come back with the endocrinologist I am seeing for my prolactin. If I am not pregnant by January we will probably begin our adoption journey. My husband has been the best support and it has definitely brought us closer together! I work for a christian adoption law office in CA so if you ever want to look into more information about adoption you can check out this page on our website. It's basically adoption 101. www.familybuilding.com/adoption-child. If you have any questions you can text the office line and I will answer them for you.
Just found your account girl and thank you so much! This journey is so lonely but your videos are comforting to know I’m not the only one. Hoping the best for you!🤞🏽
I struggled too and the emotions were like a rollercoaster! I remember breaking down when my sister told me she was pregnant for the second time. Endometriosis and a blocked tube is what held us back. I was text book healthy too and my period was every 28 days. When I had surgery, I was stage 3 endo and one tube was blocked. After surgery, we got our miracle baby. Thinking of you and your husband. ❤
I can relate to some of the things you said especially on making decisions on what to take do to ikprove your health... i tried to cut off some things out of my diet and take some supplements... if i stop taking supplements i feel like maybe if i didn't stop taking them then, i would have conceived. If i eat too much sugar i blame myself that maybe if i hadn't eaten junk food i would have conceive. Sometimes i wonder if people who get pregnant do the do differently or what 😂. It's a hard journey. Been bloated and i am rubbing my bloated tummy like it's a baby bump 😅. Been Ttc for 3+ years. Thanks for sharing
NMD Wellness of Scottsdale! Shes amazing, but pricy for sure since its a naturopathic doctor. We did get pregnant naturally after 2 months with her but ended up miscarrying sadly. Havent been ready to return to TTC but I think she was very helpful.

Stumbled across your videos. We‘re kinda in the same boat so I‘m sending lotsa baby dust!
Me and my husband were not trying but having unprotected sex, it took us 2 years 1/2 to get pregnant

I’m so sorry, it’s so hard to wonder why it’s so easy for others when it’s hard for us. You’re not alone 🤍
Which doctor are you seeing? I’m also in AZ and would like a good doctor to go to
