PRINCESS OF THE GODS !

PARING(s), percy jackson x daughter of HERA reader

WARNING(s), basically just marriage

AUTHOR’S NOTE, yeah i listened to juno while doing this, what about it

౨ৎ percy met you a little while after he arrived at camp. you were the only demigod child of hera, the queen of the gods. he was surprised at the thought that zeus would even allow you to live, but in fairness, he wasn’t dead yet either

౨ৎ you two didn’t actually consider yourselves friends until after ttc, when you were kidnapped (yes you’re taking annie’s place IM SORRYYY)

౨ৎ after the events of all that, percy found himself…drifting towards you, in a way

౨ৎ like, before everything happened, even if you weren’t necessarily friends, he did know you, like your existence mattered so much to him, he just didn’t know why at the time

౨ৎ but you, on the other hand, somehow did

౨ৎ when you were saved by percy and friends, you were very optimistic that it was him saving you and not somebody else, cause that just wouldn’t be as fun

౨ৎ anyways from the moment you met him, you were like “oh yeah that’s my future boyfriend right there”

౨ৎ and yeah calm down just a little bit, but you also just knew, and you thanked your mother everyday for giving you this knowledge

౨ৎ but you were also pissed because holy shit, it took percy a while to come to terms with how he felt about you, even after saving you and becoming friends

౨ৎ but when i tell you how many times you made a move until he realized

౨ৎ you were very clear about your feelings, like you genuinely had nothing to hide

౨ৎ percy was extremely confused about the fact that you never dated anybody at all

౨ৎ and loads of people at camp clearly find you attractive and percy does, too, so when you were like “oh yeah i’ve never had a boyfriend before” he was as shocked as possible

౨ৎ because like, it’s you

౨ৎ and you’d think that would make it click that he had feelings for you

౨ৎ unfortunately. it did the opposite.

౨ৎ and that was kind of your last straw. you literally sat him down and explained your feelings to him and how you liked him ever since he saved you

౨ৎ THAT’S when he fully realized it

౨ৎ and it’s not cause he’s stupid (mischaracterized percy jackson they could never make me like you), it’s because it’s YOU. the pretty daughter of hera who a lot of people crushed on

౨ৎ you were practically a princess and percy took that so seriously, he found it so hard to believe that you liked him

౨ৎ after insisting that you really did like him, yippie that’s when y’all started dating !!

౨ৎ and when i tell you how much of a power couple you are. you two just radiate that kind of energy, even if someone didn’t know you were together

౨ৎ like you didn’t even need to tell anyone, everybody just. knew, and percy was stunned and he was like, they knew??? did you tell everyone???

౨ৎ and you were like no that’s just the power couple energy

౨ৎ when i tell you he worships the very ground you walk on I FUCKING MEAN IT. you know that one thing where a girl is singing on stage and her boyfriend is sobbing? that’s you two

౨ৎ if i or anyone else had to describe your relationship, it would be that

౨ৎ since your mother is the goddess of marriage, you were very clear about the fact that percy was the man you were to marry, and everybody just like. accepted it

౨ৎ even people who had current or previous crushes on you accepted that, mostly because you often referred to him as your husband like it was a regular thing

౨ৎ percy lets you do it every time and never corrects you, even calling you his wife sometimes.

౨ৎ listen you had your entire future with him planned. from the proposal (if he didn’t do it by age 22, you fucking would), to the wedding, to having kids, all that. he knew he could not stop you like he knew you were prepared

౨ৎ but percy still loved every minute of it, because the thought of marrying you, the love of his life, was just astonishing. he loves you just as much as he loves the thought of making you his wife, because it was you he would be marrying.

[wisegirl1448]

do you ever think about how at the end of TTC, annabeth was coming to terms with the fact that she was going to lose the love of her life (that she wasn't supposed to fall for bcz prophecy), the first person in her entire life who understood her (like really truly understood her) to the prophecy that thalia gave back to him (not her fault), preparing to lose him and the hurt and pain that a percy-less world would bring for her, while, for percy, the ending of TTC was the first time he had relaxed since she'd been taken cuz he hadn't lost her to the huntresses? or are you normal?

[xoxochb]

⋆·˚ ༘ * please, please, please

warnings: set during that one scene from ttc, reader is a minor goddess of music/singing (to fit the sabrina carpenter vibe ykwim?), a bunch of quotes are not mine they are direct from the book so credits to uncle rick!! there’s also a lorelai gilmore reference at the end

pairing: apollo x goddess! daughter of aphrodite and ares

“absolutely not”

you give the sun god a look of pleading and he laughs at your desperation

“I don’t know what you’re talking about”

you hit his head “yes you do”

“she’s my dear old sister-” apollo begins

“exactly. along with her hunters and others”

“I don’t see the problem”

“the problem is that you can’t control yourself”

“well when I’m around you…”

“oh my gods!” you hit him twice this time “this is what I’m talking about. you’re an idiot”

apollo ignores your comment and drives (??) the sun chariot to the snowy ground

“I beg you do not embarrass motherfucker” you warn

when you step out onto the wet grass and before you have the chance to greet everyone apollo speaks,

"little sister!" he calls "what's up? you never call. you never write. I was getting worried!"

artemis sighs "I'm fine, apollo. and I am not your little sister"

"hey, I was born first."

"we're twins! how many millennia do we have to argue?"

"so what's up?" he interrupted. "got the girls with you, I see. you all need some tips on archery?”

“I need a favor. I have some hunting to do, alone. I need you to take my companions to camp half-blood”

"sure, sis" he then raised his hands in a stop everything gesture “I feel a haiku coming”

the hunters groaned but nonetheless he held up a dramatic hand and began to speak,

‘green grass breaks through snow

artemis pleads for my help

I am so cool’

he grinned waiting for an applause

“last line was four syllables” you point out

apollo frowns "was it?"

"yes” artemis agrees “what about I am so big-headed?"

"no, no, that's six syllables” he starts to mutter to himself but you ignore it, you could be here for days

one of the hunters, zoe you recognized turned to the demigods and explained how apollo had been into haikus since he got back from japan, and said god interrupted her soon after

"I've got it!" he announced "I am so awesome. that's five syllables!" he bowed feeling pleased with himself

"and now, sis” he continues “transportation for the hunters, you say? good timing. I was just about ready to roll”

"these demigods will also need a ride," artemis points to them

"no problem!" apollo checked them out "let's see... thalia, right? I've heard all about you."

thalia blushes "hi, lord apollo"

‘isn’t that his sister?’ you think

"zeus's girl, yes? makes you my half sister. used to be a tree, didn't you? glad you're back. I hate it when pretty girls turn into trees. man, I remember one time-”

you cut him off with an elbow to his stomach, he winces in pain. a black haired demigod- with sea green eyes to differentiate him from the others, he must be poseidon’s- eyes you before asking,

“are you a goddess? how come I don’t recognize you?”

“minor goddess” you confirm “of music. my parents are ares and aphrodite, and unfortunately I am married to this idiot” you give apollo an angry look but he throws an arm around your shoulder

the daughter of zeus chokes on nearly nothing “married?!”

you nod “twelve years”

artemis speaks again “how she can put up with him is a mystery”

“well we should get going” apollo interrupts

“yes, I agree” you say and pull the sun god’s arm off of you, he frowns at the loss of contact

the hunters and demigods pack up their belongings and you pull apollo to the side, he prepares himself for whatever you’re going to say, which he’s sure will be a scolding because he ignored the one thing you asked of him

“listen-” he starts

“how about I talk you listen?” you cross your arms

this was going to be a long scolding…

[Headcanon]

In an universe where Nico and Hades relationship was healthy from the start,and Hades had his children multiple times in the Underworld to visit him,when they were little and Persephone wasn't around,I image Thanatos to be the children's babysitter.

Hades was doing something in his office while the kids where there? No problem,he could have Thanatos to watch them for him until he finished everything he had to.

Bianca is painting and has finished the colors? Don't worry,Thanatos will get her the prettiest and expensive ones and the one she liked the most. How? We don't know,but he will.

Nico is running around playing with Cerberus? Thanatos is anxiously following his every move to make sure that he doesn't get hurt,while also playing with him.

The children are exploring the Underworld? Thanatos is with them to make sure they are safe,and don't end up causing trouble to others chthonic gods. Or don't end up too close to extremely dangerous places.

Since Bianca is pretty calm,and don't cause him extremely high level of stress unlike her little brother,she is Thanatos favorite,but he is extremely fond of Nico too.Hades is just glad that someone can help him with their chaotic personalities since Maria never wanted to be with them during their visits.

Now,imaga this Thanatos post-TTC,knowing that Bianca was dead and without memories of him (he was the one to bring her soul in the Underworld if Hades didn't do it himself) while not knowing where Nico went and with who.

He will probably do extraordinary,watching over Nico from afar because he doesn't know what to do anymore,since the children don't remember him. And after they formally met again? They fall back in the same dynamic they had before,because it's came natural even tho Nico doesn't know why. And Thanatos is just happy to being close to him again,so he is extremely protective of him and if Nico ends up in some trouble during his stays in the Underworld,he is the first one to help him.

And as you know most of my headcanons are about the beings of Underworld's relationship with Nico as their prince,and one of the ones I have on them is that Thanatos is like a big brother to Nico,and he call Nico "litte prince". Only he,outside of Hades and later on Persephone,can. Nico doesn't mind but sometimes it can gets embarassing.

"I told you already Thanatos,I'm fine! You don't need to drag me back,I can walk by myself."

"You and your father argued,you wanted to leave and accidentally shadow-travelled all the way to China,met a Chinese god –I don't even want to know about it but I'm sure your father will be happy about it– stayed there 2 days because you just wanted to,bought another 20 bags of designer clothes –they are heavy by the way– and only come back home because your father told me to come and get you. So,I'm sorry little prince but I can't do that."

"At least you didn't list my near-dead experience,that wasn't a funny one."

"W H A T?!"

Really,just Thanatos dragging Nico home everytime something happens,and Nico coming back with insane lore to dump on him,every single time. Nico's shenanigans are on a whole different level of insanity that Thanatos wasn't prepared for when he accepted to by their babysitter back in their childhood days. Thanatos doesn't mind,deep down,and for Nico,Thanatos is his favorite chthonic god for this reason.

(I will probably write something about it in the future on Ao3 now that my head gave me the idea. It would be pretty funny-)

I Said I Would Wait But I Can't, Soooo

Artemis Angst fic: based on this post by @worlds-oldest-teenager! Missing scene from The Secrets That Bind Us, aka What Was Artemis Doing in The Waiting Room While Hermes and Apollo Had Their Heart-To-Heart? Having a Breakdown That's What :)

Bloody Memories: who remembers my "Hyacinthus is Cabin 7's ghost" post a while back? Well here's the fic!

Branchus fic: fluuuuuffy. seriously. look up Branchus and read the story of him and apollo. it's so darn CUTE.

From Dusk to Dawn: Little more flesh out now this one! Apollo during TTC, from Phoebe getting poisoned to just how he knew Artemis was in danger

Swarms and Swears: Apollo & Athena time, ya'll

Triumvirate V Koios: yes he's back I lied hehe. Who will win: a power triad of god-emperors with lots of political and economic backing or one (1) grandpa who's grandkid they're targeting

A Titan's Demise: do I need to say anything else? HELIOS ANGST

Marsyas fic: hehe... @amiti-art here's your ask :) and I have a little twist prepared here...it'll make sense, trust me.

Leto & Asteria fic: Basically the prequel of the prequels. Leto's pre-curse days, her cursed days, Asteria running for her life, ect. the Delphic Family fic of all time. We have Koios name dropped. We have Phoebe. We have Lelantos. We have Perses. Aura is probably there too. The whole family's here to experience DRAMA

Koios Solo Fic: In mythology, Koios is driven mad and attempts to escape Tartarus - that is this fic :)

So yeah. Pick your fighter. Make propaganda for what you want to win. do whatever - we shall see who will win :)

[triquery]

I need connor and jreg to talk accelerationism

REAL. ConnorEatsPants what do you know about accelerationism & what are your thoughts about TTCS? Non-listeners of the HST Pod should be prepared to expect the pods signature question, "Why haven't you killed yourself?", during the inevitable CEPxHST episode which will SURELY happen eventually given how high the Fortnite Friday Star rises. Also I think it'll be fun to see Connor defend Fortnite's honor against Brogan (Fortnite detractor)

[kastalani123]

Okay okay okay, I love Paul being just a Normal Guy™ as much as the next person, but consider:

Sally/Paul being the reincarnations of Odysseus/Penelope (Epic versions)

There are two equally entertaining options (presume they regain their memories late teens/early twenties):

1) Paul as Ody and Sally as Pen

The obvious one. Sally dealing with asshole men for the sake of her son? Doing everything she can to protect her family while also always being partially outside of the danger they face? And then she can finally rest and be happy once she reunites with her husband? Wonderful, peak, and this time she gets to deal with the asshole man herself, it's great.

Meanwhile, Paul being utterly devoted to his wife and kid despite not realizing everything that's going on? Pursuing knowledge, his tongue and wit his greatest attributes? Missing the kid's childhood and doing everything he can to make up for it even though it wasn't his choice to not be there? The kid going through all the trauma he went through and more while he can't do anything about it? The kid being his greatest enemy's son? No notes, he teaches Percy his tricks and answers all of Annabeth's questions.

2) Paul as Pen and Sally as Ody

The less obvious one but with more comedic potential courtesy of gender fuckery. Sally has a kid with her greatest enemy and is horrified that Penelope ever agreed to go through pregnancy and childbirth without modern technology. She teaches Percy everything she knows and worships the fact that she gets to raise him, even if he's always away and she has to deal with Gabe. Horrified that her son has to go on quests and save the world, though he's more prepared than she ever was due to her teachings. Absolutely giddy the first time Percy mentions Annabeth and that she's an Athena child. She's documenting every tiny milestone of his life.

Paul is the one that has to connect with a kid he's never known in this one and his love and respect for Odysseus doing so, especially freshly traumatized from twenty years of fighting for survival, multiply tenfold. He's constantly holding Sally through not knowing how their kid is doing — they just know that he's usually in mortal danger— and not being able to do anything about it; she's gotten a few years of experience before Paul came into the picture, but two years are nothing to two decades of waiting.

I dunno if Percy is Telemachus; I've been considering making him like,,,,, Annabeth or something, their ambition for fame seems to match, and the connection to Athena would be fun to explore. I just think Ody and Pen should get more kids. If Percy's isn't Telemachus, he'd probably have some minor this-family-is-essentially-soulbound-and-I'm-not-a-part-of-it; Sally mostly stamped it out between TLT and TTC, but Paul's arrival knocks that down a little, especially if they do find Telemachus as well. They put a stop to this as soon as they realize, tho; they love their kids equally, past lives or not.

That's about it. I just think it's a fun idea to contrast the Percabeth-as-Odypen concept

[cambridgefan11]

Harkles are definitely trying to come back with or without charles support cant be sure but I don’t believe him. Invictus games in 2027, this year service at st pauls cathedral (probably will take the children to do their debut as prince and princess), hiring a pr guru for uk popularity etc, all of these preparations are for them to make a smooth comeback. I have 0 doubt now. Even if charles isn’t involved in this (which I don’t believe) he still does nothing to stop it because all what matters to him is to give constitutional job to camilla that she shouldn’t be doing. When has queen mother done something on behalf of the king? A much younger then william, then Princess Elizabeth in 1951 lead the ttc because the king was ill, not his consort but his heir.

[juniorig0327]

Mostly just a brainstorming post tbh.

Thinking about the different Demigod factions in the random AUs pushed all into one verse AU lol ( I don’t have a name for it, oops)

Cuz like obviously we have Camp Half-Blood, which I feel like for the sake of having no mist would have to be more professional as I think demigod discrimination is real so they’d have their own specialized schools, CHB and CJ would just be the big Greco-Roman ones (kinda like how there are other wizarding schools in HP?) but they’re pretty minor I’d say.

Like CHB would be the equivalent of a public school for Demigods so most people in the area go there I’d say because there’s no extra things required. And I also feel like CHB would be faced with a lot more discrimination as basically they aren’t CJ lol. They’re not military coded and training them to be soldiers, not really. Chiron’s just preparing them for battle using things similar to the mortal world activities just like in canon.

Then there’s CJ. CJ is basically a private military school and is where everyone would LIKE demigods to be sent to but because they’re so prestigious that’s obviously not the case.

Anyways, I think that demigod quests have to be approved by some sort of government officials otherwise it would be considered an act of vigilantism.

Law authorities wouldn’t like demigods that much but I feel like they would have mythical related weapons through magic. (Although uou can’t tell me that they didn’t try to experiment on demigods AND MONSTERS probably when the mist first lifted)

I feel like goddess like Apollo, Hestia, Hecate, Hera, Artemis, and Hermes would be more worshipped by society as they’re important aspects. Hecate specifically because through magic is a way for mortals to defend themselves although not everyone can just casually learn it.

Then there’s the TA which kinda has two branches, the main Greek branch and the Roman branch who’s kinda allowed to do their own thing unless given direct orders from Luke or Saturn/Kronos. They’d be considered vigilantes but it would be like, cops vs any superhero’s villains type situation.

Would cops have a demigod unit? Probably but I don’t think they’d like to bring them out, simply because the overall consensus is that demigods are inferior (not to mention them having learning disabilities which would make this worse) and society probably molding them for battle once they’re claiming or found.

So the TA isn’t JUST going for the gods, they want to take out the mortals that’s been oppressing them for so long. So like not only cycle of abuse, but oppression too, fun!

So yeah, definitely planning on making other factions and camps for other parts of the world because the mist dropped for the WHOLE world. Also not to mention government definitely trying to breed and make weapons from different pantheons because once a gods blood in engraved within a bloodline, you just have to pull it out of them.

Yeah I definitely think from unit 731 did/is going on with demigods and that will also play a role.

Also thinking about when Percy would go to camp and I think maybe around TTC. Maybe he has his first encounter with CHB in SoM. And the camps in this AU know of each other but they don’t really interact cuz they have a really bitter rivalry.

I also can’t wait for finish writing the prologue because I feel like the situation I made with Percy and Sally is really interesting and makes his parallels w Luke in this AU that much stronger.

[fake-protagonist]

I found myself caressing my tummy while I was watching a video of a fetus, sambil usap perut, telling it, that I am waiting for it appearance in the near future, but perhaps, mama need to improve with bettering myself and my financial, before Allah could send your baba to me.

Just so that I could prepare myself better for the both of you, and if Allah is saying “otherwise” may I welcome every of Allah trials to me with an open loving arms. Even if it means only to be able to hold your baba’s hands and to carry you in my arms in the hereafter.

It’s the day of Arafah today, and I am solely praying that Allah would blesses us with prayers that were meant to find us, though it was made “million” years ago.

And to every ttc parents, I pray may Allah grants you, your du’a, dan moga berbahagia selamanya, dengan yang kau sayang.

[johnconstantinesdick]

Op your post and tags about Artemis doing damage control is absolutely delightful.

I mean, from Titan's curse we know Artemis was trying to get the council to prepare for the war, recognizing what was happening, even before the war gods actively acted.

Also Apollo getting a ping when a new possible child of the prophecy gets born actually makes sense. He knew how old Thalia was, he's also a god of truth besides just prophecy and during the years of the Hunt functioning I doubt the only big three kids to join are Bianca and Thalia. The chances are really small for that to happen.

It could also be Roman demigods, since literally anyone can join and it's better to be safe than sorry. And since it was 'child of the eldest gods' and not specifically the big three, she might have even counted in children of Demeter, since Hestia and Hera don't have (in Hera's case demigod) children.

About anon that Artemis acted predatory: bestie do you want the prophecy to happen? Do you want to risk Olympus falling?

And the average life expectancy of a Greek demigod is like 13 years old, were it not for them, the squad at Westover would have little chances of survival at the age they were at. Also statistically, the Hunt even helps to get demigods the chance to reach the camp by killing the monsters.

In conclusion: was it sketchy? Sure. Was she lying tho? Not at all.

From the few Hunters we got the chance to meet, sure, Bianca was really young when she died, but Phoebe and Zoë were thousands of years old. Let's do the math. If Zoë had been with the Hunt for let's say 3 000 years, and Phoebe for 2 500. Bianca died at 13 I think? Even these three on their own puts the average life expectancy of a Hunter to 1 838 years. And that's a bit higher than the chances of Greek demigods.

Artemis literally is doing the absolute most of a damage control.

(also personal headcanon that Artemis sends the Hunters to the camp instead of being on their own so they were safe from Orion since he usually targets them when they're alone, and being without Artemis who even got stolen and physically cannot help would be quite a chance to miss)

I love your username!

It always interests me how out of all of the gods Artemis is the most involved in the everyday lives of demigods. Mr. D helps run the camp, but she spends her time with her hunters, fighting with them and forging relationships. She’s notable in TTC because when the gang is fighting Atlas with her, she feels like a comrade more than a capricious god.

She’s not above criticism, but even taking my Great Prophecy Damage Control read out of the situation, she does more to directly help demigods than like. Any other god. So when I see wild criticism of her like “if Artemis hadn’t recruited the girl who admitted she might have destroyed Olympus if allowed to age then Hera wouldn’t have targeted Thalia so much. She was really just mad Thalia foreswore her only family in Jason. Isn’t Artemis so bad and evil???” It’s kind of like. Why are you bending over backwards to vilify one of the only gods consistently fighting and advocating for our heroes.

(Btw yes that is an actual take I saw in a fic.)

And you’re right on the Hunters ages!! Like we have several girls that have been around for thousands of years!!!! We have like five named Greek demigods that have lived to the age of eighteen in the original series, and over half of them proceeded to die anyway. Artemis is obviously doing something right to keep her girls alive this long.

With the fic idea… I may just have to write it when I get a chance. If I remember right, I don’t think the Romans were in line for the first Great Prophecy anyway, but it would be so funny if Artemis was like… fuck that. If I have to keep cleaning up my dad and uncle’s messes then I’m going to clean up all of them and get more hunters out of it.

Anyway thank you for the ask! I had fun making the post but then the anons I got kind of soured it :\ so I’m glad you like my thoughts!

[ikeasharksss]

taking a study break to say this. i think one of the reasons the stakes in hoo feel less high than in pjo is bc of the pacing of the giant war.

let's compare it to pjo's titan war. the pjo series lasts roughly 3 years, & we see the conflict grow across all 3 years. for the sake of my argument i'll use the publishing year for tlt (though we all know time doesnt exist in the rrverse): tlt begins in summer 2005 and we see luke start the conflict & introduce it to the reader at the very end (like, the last chapter). then we see luke's forces in the next book in summer 2006 (tsom). then we see his alliances w/ titans in december 2006 (ttc.) then war begins in summer 2007 w/ the literal battle of the labyrinth. it jump starts war preparations that we see in the beginning of tlo, which is set summer 2008. that's 3 years of watching the conflict grow into a war.

hoo doesn't take that much time. based off the dates from pjo: tlh begins in december 2008, & the giant war is won in august 2009. that's nine months. nine months for a whole war to grow & end. compared to pjo, it doesn't make sense. it took 3 years for kronos to throw a wide scale war w/ godly allies, titan allies, & a monster + demigod army. but gaea can do all that in less than 9 months? while asleep? literally how does that happen. & chb had a whole year to prepare for the titan war, how could they have won the giant war in less than 9 months (considering the time it would have taken to heal & rebuild from the titan war)?

additionally, we only see the 7 for like 2 months. that's a fraction of the time we see percy & chb prepare for the titan war. so it's hard for pjo rereaders (both ppl who read before hoo & after) to fully comprehend the stakes of the giant war. k thx

[sassyfrassboss]

I am seeing them going finally to balmoral this year, or even at Christmas.

The royal community should be prepare for the worst PR nightmare from the Harkles and the palace believing that the ‘popular thing to do’ is to act as if everything is forgiven and forgotten.

I really hope that at least 1-2 staff/members of the family are wise enough to see the full picture and not fall for the ‘desperation’ such illness bring to all the family and fall for the forgiving PR

So last year I was surprised that there was ZERO PR about H&M and their kids on the TTC balcony. Or any PR of them attending for that matter. This year I do predict it will be different.

I can see them starting to come back for the publicized events. They won't go to Balmoral because Meghan hates the country and that is not her cup of tea. Christmas I can see but she will be bitter because they don't have an estate on Sandringham so they will have to rent or stay with KCIII which she doesn't like. Plus it will cause her to half to walk back the reasons she didn't go in 2019 because the kids are kept apart from the adults.

TTC my Rainbow after a missed miscarriage

So here I am, aged thirty three years old, one living child. I recently suffered the utterly devastating impact of a Missed Miscarriage.

Oddly, a part of me still feels that this can not have happened to me. That they have me mixed up with someone else. This could not have possibly happened to me. Things like this don't happen to me.

I remember me and my husband joking to each other on our way to the scan about how it could be twins. Nothing prepared us. NOTHING. for the heartache of hearing them words "I'm sorry, but I think you're baby has died".

Fast forward to three months later.

Trying to conceive

Tracking Ovulation

A living child whom was conceived first time without trying, my pregnancy which resulted in miscarriage was also conceived first time without trying.

Now I am struggling to conceive. Now my body feels all over the place. I am ovulating a week early. I'm spotting throughout my cycle. I feel nauseous constantly. My boobs hurt on and off. Cruelly. Almost taunting me that I am pregnant and then reminding me that I am not.

So many thoughts going through my mind?; Did my surgery affect me? - a D&C after failed medical management. Is my body ok? Are my hormones balanced? what caused my miscarriage in the first place? Why aren't I conceiving now? Am I too old? Am i infertile? Why is this happening to me?

So many questions, and absolutely no answers.
