Episode 3 - Trying to Conceive (TTC) after the Miscarriage

This episode starts our journey at almost a year after the MC (miscarriage) and about how we were moving forward with trying to get pregnant. We mention doing the semen analysis, HSG, and various supplements. These were our first stepping stones to try and figure out what went wrong or was preventing us from having child. We also talk about just the struggle of seeing everyone else get pregnant or have their miracle baby after we lost ours. It is important to let others celebrate their joy but also have our own boundaries on social media. Resources that were used during this time and then even into the future are: The Egg Whisper (mentions various supplements and tests/bloodwork to ask for) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/....podcast/the-egg-whis The Waiting Room (shoutout to Adelaide and Stephen White, another couple who have been sharing their TTC story) https://www.youtube.com/@AdelaideandStephen It starts with the Egg (book referenced that is super helpful with supplements/diet suggestions, explanations) https://a.co/d/03xJaLo Supplements mentioned: Co-q 10 (purer forms are ubiquinol, or ubiquinone), methyl folate instead of just folic acid, due the body being able to process this easier LH strips mentioned/used: Premom, and clearblue (but have also used PROOV but didn't mention in podcast) Scripture mentioned at end of podcast relates with dealing with social media but not losing our own hope. Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭18, 24b-27, 28‬-‭30‬ (‭NIV‬‬) “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. …But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.”
