This was toward the end of the year and my husband and I decided to give everything a break and focus on this fertility thing during the new year. Oh well, a month later I had an incredible tummy ache and was late, yet too afraid of doing a pregnancy test! Alhamdullilah, when I eventually psyched myself to get one done it was positive! During this period I had also fasted for 7 days as advised in the `Duas for the contentment of the heart kitaab’ for conception. At iftaar each day there is a dua to be read! The last test that we did was the HCG which can also contribute to opening any blockages in the womb . To my sisters who are on this journey - don’t give up hope! Stay strong and ultimately Allah’s plan is always the best!
