I got married to my best Friend, Daryl on a Gorgeous summer in August in the Kansas City Missouri temple of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He was a blessing in my life and continues to bless me daily. We had a home and stable jobs and our live seem to be going well. We knew that we wanted to start for children shortly after we got married. We loved out married life and each other but I was working at an early childhood center and was around small children all day and loved those children every day and teaching them and inspiring them every day. Every month would go by and if my period was late or if I had not gotten a period I would take a test. Every month I continued to lose hope as it would skip over the first line and show the second line saying not pregnant.
In December of 2017, I was able to go to my Endocrinologist at my nearest hospital. We discussed my insulin resistance I was diagnosed with at age 16, I was 21 at the time and he noticed some brown patches on the back of my neck and every woman has free testosterone that naturally flows in the body and I had elevated levels. At that time he diagnosed me with PCOS or Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. I have naturally occurring cysts that are on my ovaries. Those can lead to infertility, painful periods wich i have been dealing with since i had started my period over 8 years ago. My periods are so bad. I can literally stay in bed unable to move and if a cysts burst it can cause hemorrhaging. I have learn how to deal with it daily and i take medicine to help with the free testosterone and try to regulate my periods. I was feeling weird te end part of July/ Beginning of August so i took a pregnancy test and this time it was positive, We were ecstatic!
I called my family up that day and we were having family dinner at his parents house so we told them that night. We went to a special spot in our church history called Far West and we took our pictures and announced our pregnancy on that day. I was telling coworkers and I made an appointment with my OB to find out my due date about a week after we announced and at that time, they couldn’t detect the hormone HCG which meant i was no longer pregnant. I was devastated. I feel into a deep depression and I had no period for 10 weeks. My last period was painful and i just smiled through the pain. I am grateful and love all of my friends who are having babies. Theses babies will be blessed and loved. I just wish I knew mine for longer than a few weeks and they were still with me in my tummy and not our angel in heaven. They are missed and their daddy and I love them and wish we could have met them. I am grateful for our journey so far and hope that I one day will be able to ave a child I am able to bring into this world.
