EXCELLENT NEWS. IVE REDISCOVERED THE EARRINGS I MADE OUT OF MY BIRTH CONTROL PRESCRIPTION!!

[theeestephanie]

1 year.

I can't believe that in 11 days, we will have officially hit our 1 year mark ttc. I can't explain how many tears I have shed, doctor's visits I have gone to, or things I have searched up. Trying to have a baby is defintely not an easy process, I will say. For those people and couples that didn't have to go on drugs to get them to ovulate or jump start their period, I am happy for you. I wouldn't want to wish any of this on anyone. It's been hard to scroll down on my Facebook feed and see another friend announce their pregnancy; don't get me wrong, I am so happy for you, but I am hurt for me yet again because I only wish I was in your shoes. It's hard attending babyshowers because I wish it was me with that baby bump, smiling and celebrating an expected life. 1 year has been so tough. This trial that I have been put on, has definitely been tough, I have broken down and thought the worst things about myself, but never have I given up. I know that God has given me this test because he knows I can fight through it. Every day is a reminder to never give up and keep striving for what I want.

Women who can’t get pregnant without any help aren’t meant to be mothers.”

Something my mom used to say when I was growing up that has haunted me since I was diagnosed with PCOS, especially now that I’m desperately trying to conceive. I 100% disagree, and would never think this about another person, but I’ve thought it a lot in relation to myself. What if I’m not meant to be a mother? What if I’ll be so selfish, like mine and my husband’s mothers but worse, that the powers that be just decided it was best that I just wasn’t?

It’s worse now that I’m on the medroxyprogesterone. Hormones do INSANE things to my body and mind, which is why I avoided birth control for years, but my doctor prescribed it to try and regulate my period. 

Now that I finished my first 10 days of the pill on Wednesday, I’m slowly approaching full-blown emotional meltdown mode. And in my sad, angry, ragey descent I just keep hearing my mom repeating that in the back of my mind. Of all the super insensitive things she’s said since I’ve been dealing with this, it’s funny that something from years ago is what hurts the most.

ACOG Recommends OTC Access to Hormonal Contraception

Experienced obstetric and gynecologic medicine practitioner Luu D. Ireland, MD, serves as assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Dr. Luu D. Ireland belongs to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). In order to expand women’s choices for over-the-counter contraceptives, ACOG has recommended the approval of hormonal contraception to over-the-counter status . ACOG issued a new update to supersede its previous recommendation. ACOG maintains that hormonal birth control such as contraceptive pills, patches, vaginal rings, and depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) should be made available over the counter for women of all ages, since they have been proven to be safe and effective. In the guidance it issued, ACOG acknowledges that regulatory action is required to achieve this expanded access recommendation. Also, ACOG is aware that some states have allowed access to hormonal contraception in pharmacies and through online shopping sites. But the ultimate goal of the recommendation is to make hormonal contraception accessible over the counter everywhere. In its guidance, ACOG says prescription poses an unnecessary obstacle to a woman’s access to her preferred method of birth control. While ACOG maintains that a woman has to see her gynecologist at least once a year for a health assessment, access to contraception should not require prior visit to a physician. A woman has the right to choose the method of contraception that she believes works best for her, ACOG’s guidance states.

The Beginning

I’ve decided to start a blog to chronicle my struggles with PCOS now that I’m trying to conceive. I come from a family of “oops” babies to young mothers (teens and very early 20s), and in my field of work/group of friends 23 was too young to get engaged, 24 too young to get married, and 25 waaay too young to be considering having a baby. 

But, I have a good job and a wonderful husband whom I love more than anything in the world. It’s funny, because my parents would always suggest I was too selfish to be a mom when I was growing up (often citing an incident when I got scared at 5 and left my 4 year old sister outside because I was scared lol), but my whole life I’ve wanted to be a mother. Not as the focus of my life mind you, but just as a fulfilling piece of the whole. And yes, as the oldest of 4 (with a brother who is 8, a sister who is 14, a young niece) and having worked in the preschool my parents own as a teen and throughout college, I do understand (as much as I can without being a parent myself) how much work goes into children. 

I guess I’m basically just looking for  a community who is going through the same thing as I am and has the same mindset about wanting children. Also, a place to hold my self accountable (weight loss would be great to help me at this point) and find inspiration would be amazing. 

My husband and I have only been actively trying since around June, but my doctor did confirm that I’m not ovulating. I just started on medroxyprogesterone to regulate my period, so we’ll see what happens from here. I’m considering this my new beginning, which is the perfect place to start this blog. 

I can’t wait to see where this journey leads.
