I have posted on my other blog entries the road I have been through to get pregnant. From seeking a medical help from an Infertility Specialist, to suffering from Chemical Pregnancy and finally deciding to be child-free.
The latter, however, is not the case anymore. I am glad to let you know that I am now 15 weeks pregnant!! Yeehaaa!! This time, I got pregnant naturally :-) No shots of Pregnyl nor Clomid. Our baby came by surprise and I was 6 weeks along when we found out.
My joy is beyond compare and I couldn't find any words to describe how happy we are. I know my baby is God given and that if it is his will, it will eventually happen. Doctors have told me that I couldn't get pregnant naturally but then, here I am. My faith and trust in Him never fails me.
So let me tell you what happened after my two failed cycles of Clomid and fertility work-ups.... Yes, you got it right, I gave up!! We stopped seeing the Doctor and just prayed. We told Him that whatever His will is, we are happy to abide. We never ask God why he hasn't blessed us with a child, we just accepted whatever it is that He will give us.
While I was doing the fertility work-ups, I was diagnosed with Chronic Hypertension and after the roller-coaster ride of TTC, I decided to enroll in a fitness center and hired my own Personal Trainer. I would work out 4 times a week, two hours each session. I tried eating healthy but still couldn't do away with coffee and cigar. In the course of two months, I lost a total of 14 lbs of body fat. I also tried to chart my period as I was used to doing it during my TTC days so I know when I should be ovulating. Yeah, I know it's useless because I cannot O on my own. I need medicines to induce the growth of my follicles that will eventually lead to ovulation. I didn't expect that my ovaries will work and produce an egg but I knew I felt the ovulation pain. I've got signs like the EWCM, temperatures etc. I tried to ignore it because I know it's impossible.
And to my surprise, I was right! I was indeed ovulating on my own because I got pregnant!!
So Girls, never give up and never ever lose hope and faith in Him, You know, no matter how hard we try if it isn't time yet, it wouldn't really happen. Just always prepare yourself in whatever God will give you. Do not fret too much because stress and anxiety can greatly affect ones fertility. Just relax and let go. Trust Him and accept whatever His will is. ;-)
