Jamie Otis Instagram – I was diagnosed with infertility after my second baby – it didn’t make sense since I’ve already had children. I decided to do everything I could to try to help myself.💪🤰❤️ I quit drinking alcohol & my daily pot of coffee. I switched to green tea and began incorporating more fruits and veggies in my diet. I cut waaaay back on the processed junk I was eating and I tried to avoid too much dairy and too much gluten (never successfully gave up either 100% bc TBH, I still “cheat” all the time)🤪😝 I got a gym membership and began going as much as I could. At first I could barely do the jump rope bc I was so out of shape, but slowly I began doing 1 then 2 then a dozen pushups *on my toes* — so proud of that 😜💪 We would go to church and pray for God’s will to be done with our family …& then tried our best to truly BELIEVE it would be.🙏 I began meditating every👏single👏night👏 ….I know this isn’t always the answer for those who struggle with fertility (and it still took us a loooong time to get that positive test) but I figured I’d share what I did that I think was somewhat helpful bc I know the fertility journey is so isolating and lonely — especially when it’s secondary infertility and if you even mention wanting more kids it’s assumed you don’t appreciate the ones you already have.🤦🏼‍♀️ If your heart is aching for a child and you’ve been told you can’t have one, I’m so sorry. It’s a pain that pierces your soul and not a lot of people understand.😔 I found going to the fertility doctor was so helpful to find out what I could about what was “wrong” w me and then I found it so helpful to try to change my lifestyle to see if it’d help.🤷🏼‍♀️ We are now pregnant WITH TWINS. I didn’t have any fertility meds or treatment … these babies came to us spontaneously!🙏🙏🙏 I wanted to share this in hopes it can give someone who’s been on the same trying to conceive struggle bus some HOPE.🙏 My heart goes out to those of you struggling with growing your family…I’m sending you so so so much love & lots of sticky baby dust.❤️
