Many grow up with the belief that fertility is natural and uncomplicated. However, doubts arise as individuals face challenges in conceiving. Lucinda's experience epitomizes this, as she initially dismisses concerns but later watches her peers and questions her own situation. The pressure and emotional responses to fertility can create a heightened state of vigilance, dissecting every symptom in the pursuit of understanding. Eventually, suggestions from medical professionals prompt considerations about treatments, adding more complexity to the experience of trying to conceive.
At first, she didn't notice, but as the months passed, the presence of her menses started to feel like a letdown. 'Everything looks fine! Your numbers are great. Just be patient, keep trying. Give it time,' was the rallying call from her OB/GYN.
Lucinda's story is one you might recognize-maybe it's even yours. At first, you tell yourself it's nothing. You're still in the 'let's wait and see' phase.
But now you're paying attention differently. Watching your body like a puzzle you're trying to solve. Every symptom. Every perfectly timed attempt. Every letdown. They all start to feel like messages you can't quite decode.
Eventually, the doctor suggests, 'Try Clomid.' You imagine twins. You feel excited and nervous at once. It's not full-on treatment- not yet.
