Let’s get real

For almost 2 years, I have been trying to get pregnant. My hart hurts every time I see the negative results. Trying to stay positive is getting harder. I would always tell myself “it’s all apart of my story” but saying it so much makes it loose its meaning. Just feeling down today, probably because yet another person has announced their pregnancy and I’m still waiting for my time. #ttcwithpcos #pcos #chemicalpregnancy

... Read moreTrying to conceive can be an emotional rollercoaster for many individuals and couples. It’s common to feel isolated when facing the difficulties of infertility, especially with the added pressures of societal expectations and announcements of pregnancies from others. The feelings of sadness and frustration can deepen as your own journey appears stagnant. However, it’s essential to seek support from friends, family, or online forums dedicated to those facing similar struggles. The hashtags #ttcwithpcos and #chemicalpregnancy indicate a collective experience shared among individuals navigating the complexities of polycystic ovary syndrome and the emotional impact of early pregnancy loss. Many find solace in connecting with others who validate their feelings and share coping strategies. Techniques such as mindfulness, journaling, and participating in supportive online communities can help alleviate feelings of helplessness. Remember, each person's journey is different, and it’s crucial to honor your feelings while seeking out resources that empower and guide you through this challenging time. You are not alone in your experiences.

I’m gonna be completely honest, I don’t know how influencers make content every single day 😭 It’s one thing when you have money and can travel and make content that way, but when you’re a normal person, balling on a budget it’s much harder and I think the hardest part is just being consistent w

Not long ago I was diagnosed with scoliosis induced by the heavy training I did in the service. When I first read the diagnosis the first thing that came to mind was my kiddo. The fear I had not knowing if I’d be able to play with her for the years to come etc… it was very scary at first. I’ll say

It's hard enough for a mother, especially one currently in the dark parts of postpartum depression, to admit they're struggling and need help but imagine it's you and you finally break down and ask for help and you're met with being told you're ungrateful and there's people
