Trying to Conceive - March 5, 2012

In February of 2012, after almost two years of trying to conceive, having visited 4 different doctors in two different countries, taken multiple rounds of strong medication and undergoing artificial insemination, I was at my lowest point of discouragement and starting to doubt whether we will have a child of our own.

To make matters worse, right before I started taking another round of strong drugs, David found out that he was supposed to go to Mexico with the CEO of our company on " the  dates" of the month when we are supposed to do our “homework.”  After much debate, we realized that he was not going to be able to get out of this trip. So, I called to doctor and asked if I should take the drugs anyway. He said that this drug is very strong and sometimes even prescribed to cancer patients; so, if I was not going to have a good chance this month he recommended that I skip the medication and instead detox.

Towards the end of the 3-day trip to Mexico, the CEO encouraged David to take an early flight, note that she does not know what is going on. David gets home earlier than expected and we decide to “ do our homework” even though I'm not taking the drugs and the right dates have passed.

After the dreaded two-week wait and still no period, I had some minor spotting; and I was very sad once again. But, the weekend went by and still not period.Finally, David persuades me to do a test on Monday night (March 5th) after we come home from work. On our way home, we are both excited and anxious about doing the test. We got home around 8 PM and I did the test right away. I chose to do a “line test” vs. words test because seeing the words "Not Pregnant" made me feel very sad. 

I had done this type of line test in the past and I knew that you are supposed to wait 3 whole minutes for the result to appear. But, this time was different, as soon as I peed on the stick the two lines lighted up! WE ARE PREGNANT!!! I come out of the bathroom crying to share the news with David who is patiently waiting outside. We hugged and I kept crying and crying! We sat down and prayed and thank God for allowing this miracle to happen! I couldn’t believe that there was a baby growing inside me!!

For the rest of the evening, I drank a lot of water and went through several boxes of tests! I even did the "words" test and confirm the results. The next morning, I woke up and did two more tests and just wanted to be sure that I was not dreaming!

During the two-week wait I prayed constantly that God would allow us to be pregnant. I specifically asked Him that He allow for this to be our testimony: that we would get pregnant on the month when we did not do “our homework”  on the “right dates”, I was not taking drugs and did not undergo any procedures. He made it happen! He did not want to share His glory with any doctor, medication or treatment. 
This is His child and He alone created it!
