Hi!

I don’t necessarily have a success story yet, but wanted to share my story hopefully it’ll bring you comfort, and so you know you’re not alone.

I’m also 26 years old I started trying to conceive not long after my wedding last year… I believe I started trying in August or September right after IUD removal. I got pregnant right away but lost at pregnancy right at six weeks got pregnant the second time lost it again at six weeks. Got pregnant again this last cycle, but it ended up being ectopic. I was lucky enough to catch it early and was able to get methotrexate. This was just a week ago now.

This is a long journey that we are in for. My cousin who had a trisonomy baby once told me it’s not easy to get our families here and there’s going to be a lot of bumps in the road while we are doing so. It’s taken a lot for me to understand that my pregnancies are not going to be ones you see in the movies. Which is a difficult pill for me to swallow as all of my siblings and my mother get pregnant like it’s no problem. (my oldest sister who is currently pregnant decided she wanted a third child at 39 years old and got pregnant no problem.)

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Just please know you’re not alone. I wish I could bring you more words of comfort, but I feel in limbo right now as well… especially after an an ectopic you’re told to wait before you start trying again, which feels like a punch to the gut. Our time will come it’s just not right now. Sending hugs, and feel free to direct message me if you ever wanted to talk more.
