Help I Am A Mum!

I had been with my partner for a while and we had gone through the usual relationship milestones such as getting married, buying our first home and adopting a family pet. After we had been married a year we decided that it was time to start a family. I was 26 and my husband 30 so we weren’t to young and we weren’t to old to start a family. We were happy, settled and ready for a new addition to the family. We tried for year with no success. After a while the spontaneity of sex was gone and each session was carefully planned to fall within my fertile window. I was taking pre pregnancy vitamins, taking my temperature daily and keeping track of my fertile windows on several fertility tracking apps. I was obsessed with every sensation my body was feeling hoping that this time will be the one. Unfortunately it was not.

After a year of trying we sort medical help. After all the tests and medications I was still not pregnant, they could not find any issues. Unexplained infertility. I spent 6 months taking a drug called clomid which helps you to ovulate. During this time you go for regular scans to see if the medication is working. It was working to well for me as every month I would release 2 eggs. I was so excited about the prospect of twins but unfortunately I was unable to conceive at all during those months. Every month my period came it was heartbreaking. Nothing was working. After 2 years of trying we were referred for IVF treatment.
