Alex shares her journey going through PCOS, preparing to start IVF, and their miracle baby

"Before this it had been so hard to see all the pregnancy announcements being posted (although we were thrilled, it made us question our own journey)."


Her Story

Below is our story about infertility and attached is a photo of when I revealed to my husband we were pregnant

This photo means SO much, my sister took it for us! I told my husband Eric we were testing out a new camera for my sister and had to do a mock engagement shoot.. Eric’s first question when I revealed I was pregnant was.. “How!?” Someone please explain how babies are made to my husband.. JK!! The reason why he asked was it’s only by the grace of god we got pregnant during this time.

Before this it had been so hard to see all the pregnancy announcements being posted (although we were thrilled, it made us question our own journey). We had been only trying for a few months starting early 2018 but I was not getting my period regularly and so it was really hard to track ovulation. We did some tests with my OB and we found out that I had PCOS and we would need to see a fertility specialist or I would most likely not get pregnant on my own. It was a shock to say the least, I was terrified because I did not know anyone that had talked about this before. When your high test results shock your doctors who have been practicing medicine for decades, you start to panic a little. For reference AMH levels are typically <3 and <13 is about the highest of the normal level and mine were at 52.

Luckily, we had prepared financially before we even knew it would be an issue and were willing to do whatever it takes along with having a team of people praying for us and providing support/answers.. after starting treatments that Sept we went through 6 months of treatments, 2 hospitalizations due to reactions to medication, I lost my left ovary due to torsion, only a few shots (luckily!) and we ended up getting pregnant right before starting IVF!! My second hospital visit was March 3-5, 2019 and I ovulated, unknown at the time, at the end of that month getting pregnant! Not to mention we only had intercourse once during that time because I was still in a lot of pain. What a miracle.. I was shocked, my doctor was shocked and obviously so was my husband.

There were a few little complications along the pregnancy but now we have the most perfect little girl and a second one on the way due in January 2022, which is a separate crazy story! I still compare our journey to others that it seems to come so easy.. BUT it’s impossible to know what’s going on behind closed doors. Honestly, I know some women’s journeys are WAY harder and I’m so grateful that we got pregnant when we did. It was hard to be constantly asked “when are you going to have kids?”, it is an innocent question but people don’t realize how painful it can be when you're struggling and want something so bad! I don’t share sympathy, but because I felt like I was alone when getting bad news and I know so many others are struggling. I only pray I can give some hope!

Hearing the heartbeat and remembering seeing the healthy babe at each ultrasound still makes me cry. Just so grateful!

They said there was zero sperm. Even though my boyfriend wasn't fully awake, I saw wet eyes tears rolling on his face. It was the first time I saw him crying. It was also the first time I really saw that he wanted this for us.

    I’ve always thought that there was a lot of room for financial growth with cryptocurrencies. Like many others, I took great care to manage my investments and made sure I adhered to all security best practices, which included storing my private keys safely, backing up wallet recovery phrases, and turning on two-factor authentication. But even with these safeguards, I ended up in a terrible situation when I lost my Bitcoin. It was more complicated than just forgetting my password. The problem was far more complex: I lost my Bitcoin due to an unanticipated mix-up in my backup procedure and an abrupt breach in the platform I used. Without access to the recovery keys or a method to restore the account, my tens of thousands of dollar investment was essentially lost, even though I knew the money was still there, somewhere. I started to lose hope after making innumerable attempts to get my money back, including unsuccessfully contacting the site. At that point, I came into ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST, a service that focuses on recovering cryptocurrency holdings that have been lost. In an otherwise hopeless scenario, they instantly provided a ray of hope. The recovery process began with identity verification, which ensured that my case was legitimate and that I had rightful ownership of the assets in question. This initial step was followed by a thorough blockchain analysis to trace the transactions and identify any potential access points to my bitcoin. The team at ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST utilized sophisticated forensic tools and their deep understanding of blockchain technology to map the lost assets, working tirelessly to break through security layers that would otherwise be impassable. One of the key methods that ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST uses to facilitate recovery is analyzing blockchain data. Every cryptocurrency transaction, including those involving Bitcoin, is recorded on the blockchain, creating a transparent, traceable history of each movement of funds. In my case, the recovery process took some time, but the results were well worth the wait. Thanks to the ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST team’s dedication, expertise, and advanced blockchain forensics, they were able to identify the access points to my loss and help me regain full control of my Bitcoin. Not only was I able to recover the full value of my investment, but I also learned valuable lessons on securing my digital assets moving forward. Do not wait.
