BACKGROUND
We apologize for the inconvenience. Please visit our blogging site instead for the most uptodate version of this page:
My husband and I started ttc in February 2000. I had taken birth control pills for yearsand even had a Norplant for 5 years. We tried unsuccessfully for 7 monthsto get pregnant.
I went to a fertility specialist, who looked atmy temp charts and ordered an SA for my husband. Both looked good...itseemed I was ovulating and that my husband had a good count. After aboutthree months, he let me try Clomid - at my request. I must tell you thathe never pushed it on me, he said that it could help me and I was desperate toget pregnant. I had a strong reaction to Clomid (headaches, visualdisturbances) so he decreased my dose to a 1/4 of a pill. The first cyclewas unsuccessful.
The second cycle I was on Clomid, I also found out about thetrick of taking Robitussin to increase cervical mucus. That seemed to dothe trick. I finally got pg in February 2001, a year after we hadstarted. Unfortunately, it ended in miscarriage at 7 weeks, but it was amissed miscarriage so I didn't know until about my 9th week. I had aD&C in April 2001.
The first cycle after my D&C, I asked to go back onClomid. And I used the Robitussin. And I got pregnant again in May2001. Unfortunately that also ended in the 8th week, with no outwardsymptoms. Another missed miscarriage. I had another D&C in July2001.
This time, my doctor suggested that I wait at least 3 months to tryagain. I agreed, thinking that I needed not only time to heal my body, butmy soul. We ran some very expensive tests to see if my body was rejectingthe baby or if maybe my placenta was clotting. All tests turned outnegative. I was very frustrated.
INFERTILITY WORKSHOP
During all my internet research, I was introduced to the InfertilityWorkshop by Ami, who was in my Pregnancy After Miscarriage group. I was so ready for a more natural approach. So I lurked for a bit and continued to research. Even though I was due to start TTC again, I decided to do the shutdown instead.
I completed a questionnaire, "met" Brenda via email, found that I liked her message and offered to help her with her website since she was having such difficulty with it at the time. She graciously accepted my help, and we did a phone consultation about my questionnaire. She questioned my commitment to a healthier way. I promised her that I would be committed to making changes, including delaying TTC for another 3 months to do the shutdown.
EATING HEALTHY
I started eating a lot of carrots and buying hormone free beef for meals athome. I'm a sugar-aholic, and it's not something I am going to be able to give upcompletely, but I am trying to cut down on sugar. I have switched to soy milkfor my cereal. Cheese is also something I really love, and need to cut down on.I have given up my ice cream for whole fruit sorbet.
SHUTDOWN
And I started my shutdown onOctober 29, 2001 using the Progesterone Cream. I also started to take supplements like GreenBarley, Sea Silver, licoriceroot, burdock root and Coral Calcium. I ended my shutdown on January 25, 2002.
SUCCESS
On my first cycle after the shutdown, I ovulated on CD 13...unbelievably early for me (usually after CD 16).
For the first time in my life, I saw ferning. I had used to use the Ovu-Tec and never saw anything but dots. With the Fertility Tracker, I saw ferning. Up to then, I thought theynever even existed!
I tested positive on February 22, 2002. No Clomid, no Robitussin...all naturally. I amhopeful that this pregnancywill be successful.
THANKS
Thank you Brenda, for your encouragementand support. Meeting you is a truly a blessing. I am convinced that God brought us together. I am deeply thankful for your knowledge and for your friendship.
Hugs,
Maida
