My TTC story: 8-9months trying, insulin resistance, an early miscarriage, and then my baby ❤️
I wanted to share my TTC story because I spent so much time reading other women’s stories when we were trying.
**Quick disclaimer:** this is just what I personally did. I’m not saying this combination caused my pregnancies or that anyone else should copy it. Please check with your doctor before taking supplements.
My husband and I tried for about **8-9 months** without getting pregnant.
I have **prediabetes and symptoms of insulin resistance**, although my doctor told me I do **not** have PCOS. I wasn’t really changing my diet much at the time. We were just trying every month and living normally.
After several months, I started getting discouraged and eventually came across a TikTok from a woman sharing what she had used while TTC.
I did my own research and started taking:
**Myo-inositol**
**Maca** containing red and black maca
**Fish oil — 1,000 mg daily**
**NAC — 600 mg daily**
**Vitamin D3**
**Prenatal vitamin**
**CoQ10 — 600 mg daily**
**Baby aspirin — morning and night**
**Mucinex about 30 minutes before baby dancing during my fertile window**
**I did seed cycling taking seeds like sunflower seeds Brazilian nuts, flax seeds and pumpkin seeds.**
**I did a low carb diet. Basically ate foods that didn’t heavily spike my blood sugar.**
**I prayed hard.**
My husband also took a **men’s fertility/multivitamin supplement** intended to support sperm and semen health.
About **30 days after starting this routine, I got pregnant.**
Unfortunately, I miscarried very early, at around **5–6 weeks**.
I wondered whether my blood sugar, diet, or insulin resistance had anything to do with it, but I’ll never really know. Early miscarriages can happen for many reasons.
What happened next surprised me.
**I never got a period after the miscarriage.( I continued the routine above I never stopped )**
We continued trying, I apparently ovulated before my period returned, and **I got pregnant again immediately.**
That second pregnancy became my son. ❤️
Because I already had prediabetes and insulin-resistance symptoms, I became much more serious about my blood sugar during that pregnancy. I monitored it carefully and managed it through **diet alone for the entire pregnancy**. I maintained an A12 of 4.9-5.2 the entire time.
My faith was also a huge part of this journey.
I prayed while we were trying, through the negative tests, through my first pregnancy, through the miscarriage, and throughout my second pregnancy.
**June Of 2026 we had our baby boy**
I don’t know exactly what changed for us.
Maybe some of the supplements helped. Maybe timing played a role. Maybe addressing things related to my insulin resistance helped. Maybe we simply finally reached the month when it was going to happen.
I mainly wanted to share this for another woman who might be searching Reddit the same way I was.
**Feel free to ask any question I will be replying.**
