Sharing with others our decision to try again

Last weeks post, I alluded to I am ready to start trying again and my desire to have living, healthy children. I've shared with a few family members and friends that I'm ready to try again and the response is what I expected. I've been told to wait some time preferably a year of when I had my miscarriage (July 2014 would be 1 year). I've been told I need to see multiple doctors to ensure I have a clean bill of health. I've also been told to take my time and enjoy being married without children. I understand the advice and concerns of my family and friends and I appreciate them for sharing. I have done my due diligence and research, but my faith in God is greater than man! I'm seeking and trusting God throughout this entire process, because this is my faith journey. Everyone has that something (or multiple things) that they go through in life that strengthens their faith in God. This is mine and I understand that and the platform I have with this blog. You may not understand or agree with my decision to try again to conceive, but I hope that my journey strengthens your faith in God.


I know the statistics from "Trying Again: “A Guide to Pregnancy After Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Loss by Ann Douglas” it takes women in their late twenties like myself 5-6.5 months to conceive with a 86-93% probability of conceiving in 1 year. I understand these numbers and how fertility maybe a factor giving my history of losses and high risk pregnancies. I have done my work (cue Iyanla) and have researched on conceiving after pregnancy and infant losses. My first stop is to the same OB/GYN that delivered Brielle to have a pre-conception checkup and annual exam. I have a list of questions to ask him and depending on his answers we will proceed from there.


This is my journey and testimony and I hope that you join me every Tuesday as I share the ups and downs of trying to conceive, emotionally going through pregnancy after loss, and delivering a healthy baby.







Me and my love

Keep the Faith!

Until next time,
