A Gift of Life 🍃

-



 For most people, getting pregnant is something on the easier side. But to find out that my journey to get pregnant is going to be considerably harder and much more expensive, it hurts to know that the one that I really dream of is so far away from reality.


Beginning with irregular periods as a teen, then a PCOS diagnosis as a young adult, my journey to fertility was already hurdled. 


But my doctor and my husband did not give up on me. The first day that I met my doctor, October 2021, I was not married then, she asked me “do you want to get pregnant?”, without hesitation, I replied, “Yes, I really do, doc!”, from then on, my doctor was too hands on, she has requested a series of tests and gave me a lot of medication until I got married, November 2021, she was still taking care of me, she’s so reachable online, even if she’s driving she would take my call, and even if it was late at night she would answer my queries.


 Almost a year has passed without getting positive result, I lost my faith to continue my conception journey. I paused communicating to my doctor, and told my husband that we’ll just enjoy our life as a couple, come what may, we still love each other and we will just surrender everything to God.


October 2022, before I celebrate my 27th birthday, I decided to go back to my doctor and try another series of stimulation to get pregnant. Not because I was pressured by the people around me, but because I would like to sparkle that faith that I have in my heart, even though I know somehow it’s really absurd. Yes there are a lot of people who subtly add the heaviness on our part to conceive but I and my husband still look up to those people who celebrate with us, love us for who we really are, and support us every step of the way! (They know who they are, we love you so much!)


November 15, 2022 was my first day of my period, and started my pregnancy stimulation. It was always a risk of every penny, but we just trust God in the process. 


November 24, 2022, 1st wedding anniversary, my 1st schedule of TVS after taking stimulation, that was also the very 1st time I heard the sonologists commending what they see in my ovaries. They saw a little progress inside of me, I was in tears and full of hope, somehow I convinced myself that there’s a rainbow coming! 🫶


Dec 15, 2022, my menstruation did not come, so I tried to test but the result was negative. 3 days after, one morning, my husband told me to take a pregnancy test again, I know already what the result would be but to my surprise it has 1 clear and 1 faint lines. I immediately sent it to our doctor yet she was not convinced so she advised us to take HCG Beta Serum.


December 21, 2022, on the way to the hospital to get the result, I and my husband just did nothing but worshiped Jesus through songs all throughout the travel!


December 21, 2022, 12:39PM, the result came…


Folks, I was already 4 weeks pregnant!

While typing this blog I am still in tears. That time, no words could express how happy I and my husband were! It was indeed a wedding anniversary gift. A gift of life. 😭


All thanks to Jesus our savior, He made impossible things become possible! To our family who never left our side, to our friends who always uplift us, and to all our prayer warriors, thank you super duper very much! 🥹🫶


Being diagnosed with PCOS explains so much more than why I haven't gotten pregnant easily! My journey was a little different but we get the answers and there is hope! Truly, God can move mountains! Praises and Glory to God! 😭 😭💕

Dreams Do Come True ✨

As I sit down to write this blog, I cannot help but get emotional thinking about my journey to where I am today. For years, I struggled with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder that can make it difficult for women to conceive and disrupt their menstrual cycle. The fear of never having children weighed heavy on my heart, but I always clung onto the hope that someday, my dream of becoming a mother would come true. But it did not end there. I had another dream, which was to have a responsible and loving husband who would understand and support me through thick and thin. While it may seem like an easy feat, I had been through my fair share of relationships that did not work out. All I can say is that I am forever grateful to God for making my dreams come true. All those years of waiting, praying, and hoping were worth it now as I gaze upon the most precious gift I have ever received. I want to encourage anyone reading this, especially those who may be facing similar chall

Mother’s Day 🤍

  Being a mother is a unique journey filled with laughter, challenges, and immense love.  Reflecting on my own experiences, I have grown to appreciate the resilience of mothers everywhere.  One of the biggest hardships I have faced as a mother is balancing my responsibilities. Striving to be the best mother, wife, and professional can sometimes feel like an impossible task. There have been days when I felt overwhelmed, unsure if I could manage everything life was throwing at me. In those moments, I found peace in the support of my family and friends, who helped me realize that I didn't have to go through this journey alone. Another challenge I encountered was learning to put my daughter’s needs above my own. As a mother, it is important to prioritize the well-being of our child, even when it requires sacrifice. I remember the sleepless nights when I stayed awake, tending to my baby’s needs, and the countless times I chose to pursue my dreams later to ensure that I witness every mil
