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.

    Nowadays fortunes are made and lost in the blink of an eye, I found myself in a nightmare of my own making. With $90,000 worth of various Cryptocurrencies held hostage on my Coinbase account, I was thrust into a battle against an unseen adversary—a cunning hacker who sought to strip me of my hard-earned assets. Despite possessing mountains of evidence and a wealth of information detailing the nefarious intrusion into my account, Coinbase proved to be an impenetrable fortress, impervious to my pleas for assistance. Faced with the grim reality that all hope was lost, I turned to unconventional avenues in search of salvation. It was through a chance encounter with a concerned officer from our local police department in Georgetown, Texas, that a glimmer of hope emerged amidst the darkness. Drawing from his own experiences with victims of similar cybercrimes, the officer shared with me a tale of triumph against the odds—a tale of a victim who had enlisted the services of a renowned hacker known as (( FOLKWIN Expert Recovery )). Intrigued by the prospect of turning the tables on my assailant, I reached out to (( FOLKWIN Expert Recovery )) with a mix of apprehension and desperation. Their reputation preceded them, with tales of their unparalleled expertise in countering hackers and reclaiming stolen assets spreading far and wide.

To my astonishment, (( FOLKWIN Expert Recovery )) responded with alacrity, extending a lifeline in the form of a sincere contract outlining the terms of our collaboration. With nothing left to lose and everything to gain, I affixed my signature to the document, placing my fate in their capable hands. What followed can only be described as a whirlwind of emotions—a rollercoaster ride of anticipation, anxiety, and ultimately, euphoria. Shock messages flooded my inbox, heralding the miraculous restoration of access to my Coinbase account and the return of my precious crypto investments. With trembling hands, I logged in, scarcely daring to believe that salvation had finally arrived. And there it was, a sight for sore eyes — A digital treasure trove once lost, now miraculously restored. My coins, my lifeline in the volatile world of cryptocurrency, sat proudly in my wallet, a testament to the indomitable spirit of resilience and redemption. In the aftermath of my ordeal, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude for the unsung heroes of the digital frontier—experts like (( FOLKWIN Expert Recovery )), who tirelessly labor to restore justice in an oftentimes lawless landscape. Their noble efforts transcend mere transactions, striking at the heart of a much larger battle for security, integrity, and trust in the realm of cryptocurrency.
