Body 1-finding out-redo some sentences, reword a few things.
I was frustrated and depressed again. I had taken another pregnancy test that was negative. I wanted to be a mother so badly, yet couldn’t get pregnant. I was in love with Jason and it was my time.
We had our life together and both wanted a baby. We decided to see a fertility doctor. We found out that there were issues. I had PCOS (poly-cystic ovarian syndrome). Besides having a hard time conceiving, I had other symptoms such as: hair loss, hair growth in unwanted areas-face, stomach, irregular periods, and hard time losing weight. Jason had a low sperm count. He had a previous drug issue and the doctor said that was the likely cause. Jason had other children so I figured it was all me. We were working against each other. My doctor wanted me to get tests done and start fertility drugs. I got the testing done and was going to start fertility drugs just as soon as my job was laid off. I had to transfer to another state to stay with the company. Well, my treatment was put on hold to find another location and pack and move. At the same time, Jason had starting using behind my back. The move was much needed and I was glad for a change. Jason had grown up in the area and knew everyone. He is a tattoo artist and some of the crowd that comes with that job like to party a lot. I put my foot down and said he had to get a regular position and start treatment when we got settled.
We picked the worst month to move-November. I had to relocate

    Gaby Rodriguez’s The Pregnancy Project is a memoir that focuses on the high rate of unexpected teen pregnancies in low income, poverty-ridden areas. Rodriguez’s personal experiences with teen pregnancies through her family inspired her to encourage a change. Her mother and her siblings each became a teen parent, and Rodriguez became a witness to the hardships and struggles faced when teens experience an unintended pregnancy, and struggle to financially support their child(ren), often due to being unable to continue their education. Rodriguez, although many - including her siblings - believe she will make the same mistakes as her family, does not want to be seen as “... just another pregnant teen statistic with no future”…

    My goals for residency are simple – to continuously learn in order to educate and heal. Although I have been involved in the community in various ways for many years, I am truly excited to start giving back to society from a different perspective – that of a physician, of a person’s first stop in their most vulnerable of times. Family Medicine is a broad field that will challenge me in many ways, but I am ready to enhance my knowledge in a program that fosters learning through a supportive, team approach where patients and their futures are the greatest concerns.…

    The being pregnant part was actually really awesome. I was hungry all the time and got to eat pretty much anything and everything to my hearts content. I was always sleepy but best of all never did I get nauseous, which oh my gosh I was so happy for! You get to go to the doctor ALOT and the list of the things you can do is a short story compared to the novel that is the list of things you cant do. The very first feelings you feel of the baby moving feels like you have butterflies in your stomach and getting to hear the heart beat, now that is one of the best sounds in the world. I read What to Expect When You're Expecting like it was the bible. It tells you everything about the baby, their progress, what they look like at each stage and I was obsessed with it. At about five months that's when you get to find out the sex. That was the day I couldn't wait for. I wanted a girl so bad! I tried hard not to get my hopes up. Don't get me wrong I would love my child either way, but ever since that first day, that second line I couldn't stop thinking the word girl, girl, GIRL! I knew it, even though I told myself I didn't. My heart sank at first when the ultra sound nurse said “Do you see these three dots?” I instantly thought “okay cool its a boy, good thing I still have time to pick out a name” but as the nurse went on she said “congratulations your having a girl.” My mom who was with me just exploded into pure excitement, she had her three grandsons now the first granddaughter, and me, well I felt like I won the lottery. Picking out a name was also pretty easy seeing as how I already picked it out when I was 15, Riley, after my grandfather. I never got to meet him but I've always heard what an amazing person he was and I was in love with his name, but I had to make it its own so I decided to spell it Rylee. After that its pretty much 4 long fat months of you putting baby furniture together, buying clothes,…

    Not everyone deals with failure in the same way, I no I didn’t. I see failure as a learning experience and a reflection of who I am, or who I could’ve been. Usually, my defeats result in the expression “Better job next time,” but when my body failed to comply with natures natural purpose, a vast amount of disbelief overwhelmed me, unable to change my odds of a “Better job next time.” Miscarriages can manifest into mental, physical, and emotional obstacles because such mishaps, will eat away at an individual’s well-being. My miscarriage surfaced other unseen medical issues that left me with a whole in my heart and dreams of becoming a mother one day, non-existent.…
