Because I had produced so few eggs, more tests were ordered. I was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. In other words I produced eggs like a woman in her early 40s (at the time I was 26). I couldn't let it go though and again I became determined. I researched alternative medicine. There had to be a way to fix this. I began seeing an acupuncturist once a week, eating more organic foods, and taking fertility enhancing herbal supplements. After about nine months on this routine and still no baby, my acupuncturist suggested I go have my hormone levels checked again to see if they had improved. A month later the results were in and instead of improving they had declined. I was done. I got off the phone with the doctor and collected everything in the house related to our fertility treatments, every book on getting pregnant, everything! I piled it all on the kitchen island, took a picture, and threw it away. That was a hard day, I cried and prayed a lot.
Say goodbye fertility treatments! |
We became determined.
I'm Loving your blog friend!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I added you to my blog list so I can follow yours too.
DeleteThanks for sharing your story. My husband and I are still in the infertility testing phase, but hope to adopt someday either way. Enjoy your little girl!
ReplyDeleteWe have a very similar story! Treatments didn't work for me either, reserve was declining and I have PCOS. plain sucks. But, my hubby was more onboard with adoption than I was. I needed the convincing. And then God just provided.
ReplyDeletethe quote at the end really sums it up. Long road and a difficult journey, just like ours, but what a beautiful plan God had
