This weeks story of timing is with Tamryn – heads up that it’s emotional and quite powerful. Tamryn’s voice is so soothing and she speaks so eloquently about her journey – with the coolest accent.
Tamryn admits that she decided a bit later in life that she wanted to have children. She never really had the urge, but suddenly around 33 years old, she suddenly, surprisingly, and desperately wanted it.
Tamryn got pregnant quickly, the second month of trying, but unfortunately suffered a missed miscarriage and a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. This resulted in her losing a fallopian tube. That traumatic experience lead to a journey to acceptance and healing and time spent volunteering to help grieve.
“I had never felt the passing of time as intensely as i did during the waiting between cycles to find out if [I had] fallen pregnant. I remember how excruciating that is, where, having experienced a miscarriage, I would say its like a mini-miscarriage experience every time because you are hoping and hoping and hoping and then when you see that you’ve got you’re period, its just this devastation”
Tamryn goes on to tan about how she had to decide to just choose her life. She had been part of every FB group that exists for loss, infertility (#ICANRELATE). She admits that she was so obsessed with her reality and wasn’t engaging in the parts of her life that were working, such as her relationships and personal connections.
She talks about the moment where she decided she could no longer live every moment on the roller coaster that is infertility, and chose her life instead.
For months from that moment, Tamryn fell pregnant, by surprise.
How amazing is that! Before this, I didn’t know , well I KNEW how amazing the woman’s body was, but I didn’t know that the remaining fallopian tube migrates on every cycle between ovaries – THAT IS NATURE AT WORK!
Also, at the time of this release, Tamryn was pregnant with baby #2!
I know it can be so annoying to hear that you have to just “give up” and you’ll get pregnant. No one ever tells you the HOW. HOW do you expect me to give up??
I understand you.
I think it comes from within. IDK for sure though.
anyway, the lesson here is that its totes possible to have a baby (even two) with just one fallopian tube. Tamryn is proof!
