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.

    Words cannot begin to express the profound sense of relief and gratitude I feel towards Rapid Digital Recovery for their incredible work in recovering my lost Bitcoin. I had already suffered the terrible loss of a sizable cryptocurrency investment as a result of a hacking incident, so I can attest that the fear and hopelessness I felt were really debilitating. I had accepted that my hard-earned money would never be recovered and would instead end up in the coffers of anonymous cybercriminals. But a ray of hope appeared after learning about Rapid Digital Recovery and contacting their staff of knowledgeable professionals. They treated my case with the highest professionalism, compassion, and commitment as soon as I explained my circumstances. Their team of highly skilled investigators leveraged their extensive knowledge of blockchain technology and hacking methodologies to meticulously trace the movement of my stolen Bitcoins. Through their tireless efforts and innovative techniques, they were able to not only identify the perpetrators, but successfully retrieve the entirety of my funds. The joy and sense of vindication I felt in that moment was utterly indescribable – it was as if a massive weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I am forever indebted to Rapid Digital Recovery for restoring my financial security and giving me back the peace of mind I had lost. Their commitment to customer satisfaction and their ability to achieve the seemingly impossible is truly awe-inspiring, and I will be forever grateful for the life-changing service they provided.

    HOW TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK THROUGH WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR

    I am an individual investor who started trading cryptocurrencies about three years ago, drawn by the potential for high returns and the burgeoning popularity of digital assets. My trading journey was largely positive until I encountered a seemingly reputable investment platform I found on Instagram, which was endorsed by several high-profile celebrities. This platform promised substantial profits and seemed legitimate, so I decided to invest a significant portion of my savings, totaling $206,000.The problems began shortly after my investment grew in value on the platform. When the time came to withdraw my accumulated profits, my requests were unexpectedly denied without any reasonable explanation. Repeated attempts to contact the platform’s customer support resulted in no feedback; it was at this moment I realized I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam. To make matters worse, I soon discovered that not only my investment account was compromised, but I was also locked out of my associated email accounts and crypto wallets, which were altered by unauthorized access to further prevent me from reclaiming any control or communication. In my desperate search for a solution, I came across an internet post praising the services of a recovery expert known as WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR. Deciding to reach out to them was a pivotal decision. The review I saw mentioned how they excelled in handling cases of online fraud and had a record of recovering lost funds from scams. They were extremely responsive and professional, diving into the complexities of my case with a strategic approach. The recovery process involved detailed investigations and negotiations, which WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR navigated expertly. Although the situation initially seemed hopeless, their persistent efforts brought a significant breakthrough. Eventually, they managed to recover $180,000 of my lost funds. While this was not the full amount I had invested, it was a substantial recovery that mitigated the financial blow significantly. Despite the incomplete recovery, I am immensely grateful for the work of WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR. Their dedication and expertise in retrieving lost funds from scams proved invaluable. I learned a harsh lesson about the importance of thorough due diligence before investing in any platform, regardless of its apparent credibility or celebrity endorsements. I now approach each investment opportunity with heightened caution and have improved the security measures for my trading activities to prevent future compromises. Contact info:

    Against the Odds: How I Recovered $86,000 from a Binary Options Fraud unmasking the scam.

    I never thought I’d see my money again. After months of frustration, I had lost hope of recovering the $86,000 I invested in a binary options trading platform. But today, I want to share my journey and prove that recovery is possible. Living in Colombia, I first encountered the platform through a flashy online advertisement. It promised quick returns through binary options trading, a concept I didn’t fully grasp but found alluring. Initially, I invested $2,000, encouraged by what appeared to be substantial gains. As my balance grew, I became more confident and ended up investing an additional $84,000. For a while, everything seemed to be going well. The platform displayed impressive profits, claiming I had made $175,000. However, when I tried to withdraw a significant portion of my earnings, I faced an onslaught of obstacles. My requests were met with delays and vague excuses. Each time I was prompted to pay withdrawal fees, I complied, only to find more fees waiting for me: taxes, processing charges, and even unexpected compliance fees. I realized too late that I was trapped in a scam, having lost another $26,000 in fees alone. The experience was not only financially devastating but also emotionally draining. I felt embarrassed for trusting a platform I barely understood. Yet, despite the discouragement, I was determined to fight for my money. After extensive research, I discovered Rapid Digital Recovery and their promising testimonials. Skeptical but desperate, I decided to reach out, WHAT SAPP: + 1 41 4 80 7 14 85…. To my surprise, Rapid Digital Recovery managed to recover 100% of my investment. The relief I felt was indescribable. Although I still grapple with regret over my initial decisions, I’m incredibly thankful for the support I received. They restored not just my funds but also my confidence in the recovery process. If you’re into scam, don’t lose hope. Reach out to Rapid Digital Recovery You don’t have to go through this alone, and there is a way to reclaim what you’ve lost.
