  109. Jessica | September 2, 2010 at 1:01 pm |

    My husband and I are just starting our adventures in the world of conception/pregnancy. I went off the pill 8.5 weeks ago and still haven’t had a real period so am getting my first blood taken tomorrow morning to start all the testing. I’ve been googling like crazy to learn as much as I can and found your blog yesterday morning. I just got to this post and started crying right along with you! Obviously now you have a happy and healthy baby (or 2 I don’t know yet!) YEY!! I am so glad I came across your blog to learn about all that you two have gone through. It’s such a comfort to know your story. Thank you ever so much!!

  110. Just Me, The Mrs | October 19, 2011 at 7:09 pm |

    I just stumbled upon your blog and immediately subscribed to it! We are also TTC since Jan this year. Hoping for some good news this month *fingers crossed*. Your video made me have tears and a smile! I know this comes way too late, but I am sure you still remember this very day!
    God Bless you all!

  111. Norwegian 28yr-old | February 13, 2013 at 1:31 am |

    Wow! This video made me cry of joy for you, even though this was more than 3 years ago 🙂 I found your fantastic blog yesterday and read your story. It’s so great to see that you got two children – congratulations! 🙂

    I’m 28, finished my master’s degree one year ago and have been with my boyfriend for eight years. I decided to stop taking BCP in September of 2012 and have had no natural period since then :-/ So a few weeks ago my doctor did an internal ultrasound and found out one of the ovaries seems to have too many (more than 10) follicles or cysts (not sure), but showing signs of PCOS. My bloodwork (believe me, they tested for everything) was great though and I’m normal weight and have no PCOS symptoms. Anyways she gave me provera which I took for ten days (ending Friday) and on Monday I got my period. I will go back for a new blood sample in 20 days to see if I’m ovulating, and I really hope I will be, and that we’ll be able to get me pregnant soon!

    This is so emotional and I’m so worried now, but also so motivated and inspired by your blog! I really hope our journey will have a similar outcome 🙂

    Thank you so much for writing your blog! ❤

    Oh, and please have your fingers crossed for me 😀

    Love from Norway
