Inspiration for women battling infertility. (Sorry a bit long)

Tweet

Hello everyone I am new to mylot and I myself am still having infertility issues even after giving birth. I just hope that the story that I am about to tell you all can provide you with encouragement and a bit of an uplift to your spirits. I have been dealing with these issues shortly after I was diagnosed with endometriosis and PCOS. I was given clomid twice and no help there. I was on oral and injectable contraceptives (depo provera and lupron)to deal with these issues that I was having. I finally got pregnant after three years of TTC and I was taking nothing. I was blessed with a miracle. Not knowing what to expect with the pregnancy, I was going day by day with no serouis comlications. That was until I was 20 weeks pregnant....I had dilated 1.5 centimeter and my cervix was soft. I just went in for a routine ultrasound when this happened. The next thing I know my doctor sent me straight to the hospital for surgery to have my cervix stitched. I stayed in the hospital for 2 weeks on strict bedrest....they wouldn't even let me walk to the bathroom. I had to call the nurse for a bedpan(embarrasing). After being out of the hospital for a week, I went into labor. I had to go back because the baby was coming at that pont and there was no stopping her. They did all they could to try and prevent me from having my baby at 23 weeks, but she was determined to come out. At 3:35am on May 7, 2005 my tiny miracle was born weiging 1lb 3oz. She was a fiesty little girl fighting off the neonatal team when they was trying to intubate her. She ended up staying in the hospital for 4 and a half months. Her lungs have collapsed several times leving her dependent on the respirator for 3 months. She has had 6 blood transfusions and PDA ligation surgery and she made it through all that and now is "terror on wheels." She will be turning 2 soon and now I am just at a moment of reflecting back at what has happened in these few short years. I just wanted to share this with all of you and hope that this will help you go through this because right now I am still having problems TTC eventhough I was told that it will be a lot easier to get pregnant a second time. My only advice to you all is that when you least expect, that time will come when you wil have that miracle. Just be patient and always pray (I know it's easier said than done), but that day will come. If any of you have any questions or comments for me, I am here.
