“My husband and I were trying to have a baby for a very long time. Every month we would take the test and we just weren’t getting pregnant. The doctors kept saying I was fine. I felt fine. And then finally last fall, we found out we were pregnant. It was the best feeling. Then two weeks later, we had a miscarriage. It was heartbreaking. It was like the best two weeks of our lives, immediately followed by the worst day. When I first found out I was pregnant they said my thyroid levels were low so they put me on medicine right away and I just knew something was wrong. Two weeks later we had the miscarriage. Now I’m on this medicine, so we started trying again. I’m pregnant now and I think because my thyroid is normal, it’s helped this time. We’ve wanted this for so long. Now I watch what I eat. I’m not focused on me and if my clothes fit anymore. I have this blessing inside that is growing and I need to take care of this baby. The miscarriage was crushing, but I feel blessed that we were able to figure out what was wrong and get pregnant again.”
