My hubby and I have been struggling to conceive for the past 3 years now and I’m almost losing hope.. I have tried Vitex, folic acid etc, but nothing seems to work. Here’s hoping that this is the year it all gets better

My husband and I struggled. He has in the military and went on 2 tours in Iraq when we were first married 10 yrs ago. In a way I’m gratedul we could not conceive then but I didn’t take it as how hard it would be to conceive later. We tried for 10 yrs to get pregnant with 2 miscarriages and an Ectopic pregnancy. Now I’m 30 yrs old and he’s 29 and we are pregnant again at 32 weeks! Our little miracle baby. I worry everyday if our baby is ok

We struggled for 8+ years and I honestly felt very alone in thinking that, at 23 yrs old, I had these problems and would never become what I always knew I wanted to be, a mommy. Thankfully, now I am a proud and happy mommy of 4, the first 3 conceived through infertility treatments and the 4th was a natural blessing and surprise. I am very open and sharing of my experience through all of this because I think back at how I felt going through all this, and I could have really ‘wanted’ a ‘me’ back then.
