Things I've Learned While Trying To Conceive...

Over the past year or so, I have learned so much while TTC. So today I'm sharing with you just a few of those things...


  • Pregnancy Announcements Are Hard
    • Some days are easier than others but I occasionally have bad days, really bad days. And it doesn't help that social media has become the place to announce pregnancies with cutesy pictures or videos. I hope I'm not sounding bitter, because I'm genuinely happy for the person, it just makes me a little sad for myself. Let's not even get into buying baby gifts...that is SO hard!
  • I Can't Control Everything
    • I am your typical Type A personality, I want things done now, fast and right. With infertility, things just don't work that way. It's all a waiting game. One thing that I found difficult during IVF was the "not knowing" when retrieval and transfer would be. The doctor would give me one day, but my ovaries would give him another. 
  • How Strong My Marriage Is
    • After countless hormone injections, surgeries, a miscarriage, and so many ups and downs; my husband has literally seen me at my worst and has been by my side this whole entire time. I'll admit, there were times when I would shut down and break down, but he was always there. He's not once given up on us, or this journey we are on. He is my rock. 
  • That My Faith Gets Stronger and Stronger
    • My relationship with God has definitely grown over the last year. I will admit, it's not where I would like it to be, but that's the beauty of it...it will only get stronger from here. 
  • People Can Be Mean
    • They may have good intentions, but some of the "advice" they give us, or even their opinion, can be mean. Maybe I'm overly sensitive, but I take some of these comments to heart...something I really need to work on. If you would like to read on What Not To Say during infertility, click here. No one can truly understand this struggle unless they have endured it themselves.
  • People Can Be Wonderful
    • There are SO many wonderful people out there! I'm so glad I have found such a great community online, met some amazing people and get to encourage them along their journey. 
  • It's Okay to Take a Break
    • It doesn't mean you are giving up.

  1. I can definitely relate to this post. I am so happy that you have an amazing support standing by your side through everything! It makes the world of a difference and I believe next time I do IVF (we are probably looking at the beginning of 2018) things will be easier for me knowing I have the support I need. I too still struggle with pregnancy announcements. I am always happy to hear about a pregnancy but at the same time, I am sad for myself and often ask "why not me?"...I don't think that will ever get easier until my child bearing days are over.

Hello my name is Shella Craig from USA New York City, i will testify to the whole world on how i was able to bear children at the age of 46 after 22years of bareness, Baba Alika did it all with his herbal medicine. I have been searching for a child of my own ever since I had a miscarriage and since then each time i had sex with my husband the sperm usually comes out of my Virginia. I seek for help in so many hospitals and wasted a huge amount of dollars but non could be able to cure me of this infections. Until when a Cole worker introduced me to Baba Alika who she said he can make you have twins or triplet or single child any of your choice. So i have no other option than to give it a try. He examined me by asking me some few questions then ask me to purchase some items which i did, he sent the med to me and i applied as instructed by him. It was unbelievable, he made it possible with his powerful herbal medicine which he sent to me. Today I'm a mother of two. Please i don't know who you are or where you are, but all i have for you now is to please celebrate with me and share this information too if you're happy with me also and if you are still in this situation that i just over come please don't hesitate to contact Baba Alika because he is there to help you out.

  10. I was married at 32 and immediately tried to get pregnant. When I was unable to conceive I had blood tests for fertility and was told that I had an FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) of 54 and would not be able to have children. Even though the doctors knew that I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis since age 25, no one bothered to check my thyroid levels. my TSH was measured at .001. My Synthroid dosage was lowered. a friend advise me to contact a spiritualist who help with fertility with his medicine, i collected his contact and explain my situation to him he prepared for me a herbal medicine which i took as describe by him. became pregnant very quickly, I had a successful pregnancy. I have my baby august 2017. to get pregnant at age 35 with my 2nd child in september 2019, thank you sir , this is his email contact if you require his help babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka
