Continuing my infertility train with you all again. You see I haven’t blogged for awhile trying to figure out the right balance between working and my colleagues knowing too much about my personal life. What do I mean? My husband and I have been trying to conceive again and I haven’t been too sure I want work to know this part of my life. However, I’m sure it will help someone else out there trying to work, be brave and conceive.
Since I had my son 19 months ago, we’ve been trying to conceive. I’ve been pregnant twice so far. Yes, little pink line and joy, right? However, the joy still hasn’t come. The first pregnancy was way too soon. My son was only 4-months old, and I was pregnant. Not what we were exactly planning, but hey, we would learn to roll with it. Then the many upon several ultrasounds later told us we had a Blighted Ovum. What is that you say…exactly what we said. It’s a false pregnancy. Womb keeps growing as though you’re pregnant, but no baby. Picking ourselves back up again after learning we were not really pregnant—but feeling as though we were for 12 weeks—was tough. BUT we knew we might have some issues, so we moved forward. About a month ago it finally happened again. This time no yays or jumping for joy for fear of the inevitable. Sure enough I took the blood tests for the HCG levels and found out I was already miscarrying.
SO now the big decision has been decided. We’re going to try only one more time, and this time with fertility help. (more…)
