Unexpectedly Pregnant After 9.5 Years Of Infertility

[@amijavid3077]

Such a blessing. Pray for me too. We had our first son when I was 26 and then we got busy in our studies and building career and now that I'm 39 it's about a year and half but no news 😔😔😔

Aw... congratulations strangers! :) Can I ask you something maybe? I heard you mentioned MTHFR and thicker blood? How did you know you have thicker blood? Any symptoms of that? I (32F) have the worst MTHFR (homozygous it was?) and had a long history of health complaints. Currently doing a bit better. Also working on my health to get as healthy as I can before trying for a baby... I was pregnant a few years ago by the way, and when I was pregnant without knowing it yet I had a very emotional dream about my child! Woke up crying, and we werent even trying... That was a nice special moment :). Thank you for reading this! All the best!

P.s. Is Niels and or you Dutch by any chance? :-)

I did some reading on MTHFR and it mentioned having thicker blood and I told the doctor, back in the fall when I had my levels checked, what I read. She agreed, so she suggested taking baby aspirin the minute I found out I was pregnant, if I ever did get pregnant. The endocrinologist that had me do the test 6-7 years ago gave me information as well that said those with MTHFR mutations need help thinning their blood. I have the mutation on both genes, so I'm homozygous. I wish you all the luck! I'm planning on doing a video soon of what I think may have helped me get pregnant after so many years of infertility. There's a few things that I really believe helped me, but I'm no medical expert. And Niels has Dutch in him, he's named after his great-grandfather.

Niels and Sarah Thank you for replying!! I have the same kind! I have really been struggling with pooling blood in my legs, which hurts and results in me having to put my legs up (usually against the wall) for it to start to feel better. I’m going to look into the thicker blood! I have had my blood drawn a lot of times, but I remember one of the last times thinking it actually looked thick and came out slower. But I just assumed that was nothing and I dont know anything, but hence my question! I make plenty of progesterone (a LOT actually) so that makes me feel hopeful fertility wise.... but also have a hard time detoxing estrogens. I’m looking forward to your video! Greetings from a Dutchie ;).

Niels and Sarah Hi Sarah... just remembered... have you had your homocysteine levels checked? Mine was high.... I didn’t realize that is to do with clotting of the blood..

[@nielsandsarah8535]

@@M_K_M_K_M_K no, my homocysteine was never checked.

Your dream was right, I think. When I got pregnant 1.5 years ago, I was 9 weeks and I dreamt that I had bleeding and after a week we came to know I had blighted ovum miscarriage. 😔😔😔

Dear Sarah, did you start baby aspirin before getting pregnant or after you knew you were pregnant?
