Hello!

I wanted to write a bit about my journey so far. My Husband and I met in 2009, started dating in 2012. I had to dump my previous boyfriend because after 5 years of dating, he couldn’t decide if he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. My hubs popped the question May 10th of 2014 ans we were married October 4, 2015. My HBA1C was high. 8.5. I knew I would have to get it down to safely conceive. I was 35 in 2015. My clock was ticking. By 2017 I got my hBA1C down to 7.0. We started to try in August. Of course I thought I was pregnant every month. But, no. After a year of trying with no results, I saw my gynecologist. He gave me some tips and told me that he and his wife also had trouble conceiving. He gave me some tips. Using an app. (Which I was already doing) and use OPK strips. The following year, 2019, My HBA1C was still 7.0 and still, no baby. I went to see a fertility specialist. They ran bloodwork m. My AMH level was 0.05, which is quite low. At this point I was 39. I had to get my HBA1C down to 6.5 to proceed with fertility treatment. I did it! In June 2020, my HBA1C was 6.5! Then my grandmother passed. Side note. My grandmother and I were very close. I lived with her and helped care for her from the time I was 13 until I got married. So this really unraveled me. So not only was I going through the Pandemic, but I also lost my best friend. My HBA1C went back up to 7.0, I got it back down and in September I started to prep for IUI. I did my first IUI in Januay 2021. I only had 1 egg. I was not expecting much. And nothing happened. I did a second IUI in February with 3 eggs, and nothing. Now here we are, March, 2021. I’m prepping for my first IVF cycle. I’m excited and scared. Wish me luck!!
