And now on to our TTC story. Like I said, I never thought that I would be tracking, testing and waiting as much as I did for 9 months prior to getting my first positive pregnancy test. Call me naive but I really wasn’t at all worried about getting pregnant. Through our TTC journey we were tested. It was difficult at times but with the support of our family, friends and even some online forum boards I found a way to really focus on the science of TTC.
On the 9th month of TTC, I decided to test while I was at home by myself on a snow day – hello Colorado blizzard! When I saw that the test was positive I was so excited that I braved the crazy icy roads to head to the store to buy a fun baby pajama set to surprise Jeremy with it when he got home from work. Wow – I seriously remember it like it was yesterday and it has been over 5 years ago!!
Round 2 was different. I made sure my body was ready and I focused on the science of the process – yes so romantic! But it is real. With the help of charting, testing and the addition of Astroglide TTC™ I found myself testing positive after just 2 months of trying! I literally took 4 pregnancy tests before I told Jeremy because I couldn’t believe it!
My life lesson here – count your blessings. I have seen so many of my friends struggle with infertility and I know how truly lucky we are to have only been in the TTC journey for a total of 11 months and ending with 2 healthy pregnancies and children. For those of you that think that the journey of parenthood is going to be easy – you might be surprised and when you are, start focusing on the science and invest in the Astroglide TTC™ to help the process along the way.
