Thank you SO much for this. Going into month 6 and I have been avoiding TTC content because it’s the two ends of the spectrum, NOTHING in between. This is so refreshing! Also my periods are the same as yours so interested to go binge your channel now

[@cks7548]

Honestly, I don't see why any woman would want to get pregnant. Pregnancy puts a lot of strain on a woman's body, and it is very dangerous, and it has a lot of risks, and a pregnancy lasts 9 months. Also, childbirth is very painful. And also, raising children is very hard. Personally, I think being childfree would be a lot better than having children.

It’s a lonely journey as not many people talk about this. Me and my husband had unexplained infertility as all our tests were normal. We were blessed with boy/girl twins following one round of IVF and lots of tears and prayers. Wishing you all the luck. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story.

[@cks7548]

I have question. Why do women want to get pregnant? Pregnancy puts a lot of strain on a woman's body, and it is very dangerous, and it has a lot of risks, and a pregnancy lasts 9 months. Also, childbirth is very painful. And also, raising children is very hard. Personally, I think being childfree would be a lot better than having children. It's been proven that single childfree women are happier. Studies prove single, childless, women are the HAPPIEST demographic. Women are the happiest when single and focused on themselves.

Be kind to yourselves ❤️ I've had no experience with birth control or trying to get pregnant as it not in the cards for me. But be kind to yourselves. Good things take time. It could just as easily be your partner. There is no blame. If conceiving doesn't work out, there are so many babies and children in the world who would love to have you guys as loving parents. You guys will make awesome parents and I'm so excited for you guys however it happens. Give yourself plenty of time.

[@jennifersheley1515]

I’ve heard it can take between 9 months to a year after getting off hormonal birth control to fully regulate and be able to conceive. I’m no where near thinking about trying or wanting a baby, but your story is so important to hear so thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this with the world. It makes me wonder when I am eventually ready how my body will react since I’ve also been on birth control for almost ten years. Sending love!

[@jennaraye27]

i had my son in september 2019. we were married in december of 2017. Our first pregnancy was Ectopic. We got pregnant with our son about 3 months after our Ectopic. I had Nexplanon put in about a month after I had my son, because I didn't want kids close together. I had it taken out in Sept last year. My OB/GYN said it would be about 6 months before I would get pregnant. The six month mark was in March. I don't want to be too much older. I'll be 39 in September. After I had my son, we were living a nightmare. We were told he was withdrawing from my medication. Cymbalta. My son didn't have any symptoms of withdrawal. His pediatrician said he wasn't sure he was withdrawing, and if he was the medication would be out of his system in about a week. The 'nurse' said he would be suffering with withdrawal for 3 months. I was so hurt. I still struggle with guilt to this day. Even though, I was told I HAD to take my medication. Long story short, my son is 3 1/2 and is super healthy! He has asked us at times for a brother or sister. I just started my period, so I'm devistated. I've had a lot of people tell me that I shouldn't have anymore kids, because of the 'withdrawal' that my son went through, and I had a very risky pregnancy. I was sick the whole 9 months as well. I went into preterm labor 3 times as well. People can be so cruel

[@corrindickerson7368]

Hi, so as someone who went thru fertility and was unsuccessful, I’d like to give you advice. Please see a fertility dr sooner rather then later. Do not let people to tell you just relax and it will happen. The dr can do a basic work up and can check many things that can be causing problems such as, thyroid, husbands sperm count and motility, your egg count and hormone levels, if your actually ovulating and are your Fallopian tubes open and so on the basic work up is not very invasive and can save you a lot of time and heartache and stress. Many things they uncover are easy fixes. Plus if you want to have more then one child don’t waste time. We ended up having a family via adoption.

[@komals7128]

Please research taking soy isoflovanoids in the first 5-7 days of your period, which increases your ovulation ALOT. Also as weird as it sounds, viagra diluted and administred as a pressie has shown to improve blood flow in the uterus and improve lining thickness. There are some doctors in Europe that also know about this and prescribe it to women as an off label treatment for this purpose. My period was also very scarce, maybe 12h first day and then spotting next day and gone...we tried for 4 months and nothing, then I did both isoflovanoids and viagra (diluted in lube - the special for conceiving, as the regular kind is contraindicated for TTC), and at that next month it happened. Not sure if it was coincidence, maybe it was, but I think it helped :) . Fingers crossed it will happen for you soon...

Don't obsess whatever you do. Have sex every other day. You don't need supplements other than a good prenatal vitamin that has folic acid in it. Your diet and lifestyle AND that of your husband is key. No alcohol. No marijuana. No smoking of any kind. No soda. Nothing with artificial sweeteners. Plant based if you can. Do yoga. Stay thin. And most of all DO NOT seek medical advice from a reproductive professional unless you have been trying upwards of 10 years. I am not kidding here. By nature you were made to have a baby. I have been a labor and delivery nurse for 40 years. I cannot tell you how many horror stories I have heard and witnessed surrounding "infertility" treatment . IVF pregnancies are not easy and without complications. Yes some people really need science to get conceive, most do not. All the best to you both.

[@deborahfox5401]

If you REALLY want to get pregnant, have sex everyday - every 12 hours. Do not miss! No excuses. There is a very small window of time during the month that you can get pregnant. If you miss that little window pregnancy won’t happen. You are too obsessed. Relax and quit obsessing and worrying. Have fun and enjoy being intimate with your partner. That’s when the magic happens. Stop taking your temperature, stop using those damn strips. Just have sex every day. Your stress level can have everything to do with your inability to get pregnant. You don’t need to spend a penny to get pregnant.

@@orysyaf8337 This is true, however, the tried and true method is best. If you’ve had intercourse everyday for a year and it still hasn’t happened, then look into other reasons.

As a gay person, I understand your disappointment. But understand the challenges that LGBTQIA+ people go through when trying to have children. It supper double sucks! And usually costs a fortune. LGBTQIA+ make a massive effort and spend a lot of money and time to have children. Whereas, cis-hets in some/many cases, stumble into pregnancy, without much thought. So, please rethink bemoaning that you're not pregnant at this time. You can try again, without cost, without stigma. If it needs IVF, then welcome to how most LGBTQIA+ people get to have children. Or, they adopt. You could do that!

[@PearlJ640]

How this came to be about any other group of people outside of her and her husband is beyond me. But to say she can just try again only shows your tone deafness to the situation. And to say she can try IVF or adoption like it’s free for everyone, but usually costs a fortune for other groups, is comical. And just so you know and understand because you’re a male, [IMO] based off your name and calling yourself gay, there is a stigma against women who don’t have children, particularly ones that are married and successful. Whether they want children or not, they are typically viewed as selfish or too occupation obsessed.

I’m reaching out to everyone here to let you know that I just had another baby after TRYING TO CONCEIVE for 6 years and also to share my pregnancy jorney story! I am so happy to announce that at 40 years of age, I gave birth to a healthy and beautiful twins baby girls on Oct0ber 29, 2022, My husband and I are from San Anthonio TX. In January of 2014, our third child, a beautiful baby girl, was born perfect and healthy. We couldn’t have been happier; our family of five felt perfect and complete. A few months down the road, as we were considering birth control options, the doctor informed us about Essure. This non-surgical, non-hormone, cost effective option seemed perfect. We went ahead with it, never imagining that there would ever be any reason to make us reconsider. Why would we when our little family was just right, and we were so happy?A little over a year later on October 9, 2015, our perfect baby girl left us to walk with Jesus. With very little warning or symptoms, her appendix burst and her tiny body succumbed to sepsis very quickly. The doctors and staff worked so hard to help her, but our little angel flew to heaven. I can tell you there is nothing worse than losing a child. It hurts so badly that it truly feels as though your heart is breaking. After several months, our boys began to question us about having another baby. The thought of a new precious miracle in our lives grew in our hearts quickly, and we began to look at what our options were. When I had gotten the Essure, the doctor had been very specific that it could not be reversed. With our first phone calls, we were told our only option was in vitro fertilization (IVF). As we researched that, it just didn’t seem like a great option for us. However, I stumbled on a story of a woman who Dr Agbola helped to conceive a twins baby under the same condition as mine. so i decided to put a try and talk toed him because this has been my greatest problem in life, words will not be enough to explain what this man did for me,i know there is someone in the same condition and you feel there is no way, i’m also giving this hint to couples who are struggling with INFERTILITY or had their TUBES TIED. i urge you to talk to him. This man is the best solution to every single mother around the globe. distance is not a barrier, he will surely make your dreams come through. talk to him today via Via: ([e-mail])
