We have been trying to conceive since we got married on August 16, 2003. I have infertility due to PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). It makes my hormones out of whack and I don't usually have periods on my own.
We tried 3 months of a Fertility Drug called Clomid that was prescribed by my OB/GYN in 2004. It didn't work. We were told then that we would have to see a Fertility Specialist if we wanted to get pregnant.
I have several friends on a discussion board I go to that couldn't get pregnant on their own due to pcos too and they got pregnant on Fertilaid.
I ordered both Bill & I fertility supplements called Fertilaid. You can order it at www.fertilaid.com I also ordered Fertility Tea. I posted information about the Fertilaid and the FertiliTea below.
The Fertilaid & tea arrived today. We started taking it. You take 3 pills a day. We take one pill 3 times a day. The tea says for me to drink 2-3 cups a day.
Anyways we took 1 month of Fertilaid back in October before we were hit by that Semi-truck.
For that month I actually had a period on my own and ovulated for the first time!! After the wreck we put TTC on hold for awhile. Now we are both feeling a lot better and ready to TTC again.
There are a lot of success stories on the Fertilaid website and it gives us hope that we will get pregnant from it.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We hope and pray that God will bless us with a baby very soon. We want to be parents more than anything!

Update on us...
I started a period on my own a month & a half ago and am still on it. It has been SUPER HEAVY the whole time. I have been passing HUGE clots the whole month too!! Hopefully it's about done! It's worse than when I take provera to have periods but at least i'm having one on my own right? It seems to be slowing down and isn't as heavy today as it has been for the last month and a half.
Bill's transfer finally went through. His first day at his new job is July 6th. Then he will be a Probation & Parole Assistant at a Work Release Center in KC. It will be an easier job for him.
We are so glad that his new job will be evenings and he will have Friday & Saturdays off! He has worked overnights for over a year now and hasn't had a weekend off since he started in Feb. 2008!
Bill is having surgery on his shoulder on June 19th. He is taking a week of vacation during that time.

Changes ahead....
We are very excited about the changes ahead.
We aren't sure when Bill will start his new job. His current job is lolly gagging and haven't faxed Bill's transfer papers that he filled out on Monday night to the Chief of Custody at the Work Release Center he will work at.
Once they get it faxed to him then they should give Bill a start date.
We are moving out of this apartment on Tuesday! We are so glad and cannot wait to leave here. We hate the neighbors, the noise they do all the time and we hate this small town!!
We are going to put our stuff in storage in the City we are going to be moving too.
Until Bill gets transferred we are going to stay at my parents house. It won't be bad because Bill will only have to drive 30 mins each way.
The only bad thing about staying there is they only have Dial-up internet. It takes FOREVER to pull anything up!! So I won't be online as much the next couple of weeks.
I'll reply back to all messages within a couple of days.
Bill should be transferred to his new job and we should have an apartment in the City by April 15th.
I'll update you all when we know for sure when he will start the new job.
Love you all!!
xoxo

Update...
I had an appt with my Chiropractor on Wednesday. My right hip was out of place again so he had to adjust it and put it back in place. I also had several parts of my back and right leg out of place. He also popped my neck a few times. That is
the worst but it feels good after it's done but the sound gets me every time. LOL
I haven't seen the Chiropractor since the first of January. He said I was doing pretty good for going that long without seeing him. He said he wants to start seeing me seasonally. My next appt is in June.
So I called our Paralegal and she was going to send for my file and bill with the Chiro. Now we are just waiting for my Neurologist appt in May. Hopefully he'll release me because once he does then we can settle on my lawsuit.
It will be awhile before Bill can settle on his because he has to put his surgery off for 2 months. He cannot take off so soon once he changes jobs. It's still for the same department just different job title and different facility. But it will look bad if he takes off 2 weeks shortly after he starts there. He wants to wait at least 2
months before he takes his 2 weeks vacation to do the surgery.
Once I was done at the Chiropractor we drove to Sedalia and visited with Bill's Grandparents. They are doing good. His grandma keeps getting better and now she doesn't even need her cane to walk. She is back to cleaning, cooking, etc.
Then we went to my parents house for dinner and then we had a Wii bowling tournament with my parents. They bought a Wii last weekend and they are hooked on it. They play every night. lol
Well on our way home we had a run in with a HUGE deer. It was dark and we didn't see it until we hit it. We hit it's head and it's body wrapped around and hit the drivers side door. It knocked out the driver side whole light kit, tore up the finder on that side and buckled the door where it wouldn't open.
Well the deer ran back the same way it came and then we couldn't find it.
We pulled over and the deer had knocked part of the finder or something down and it was rubbing on the front tire.
I called my parents and then Bill called the Police. My parents came and I rode home with them. Bill drove the van to my parents house and then him and my dad cut the piece that was rubbing on the tire. My dad also used a screw driver and got the drivers side door where it will open and shut normal.
We only had liability on the Van because it was paid for. We don't have money to fix the damage because all of the money we have saved is to help us move to the city for his new job.
So we are going on Monday to trade the van in for a car. The Van has had major problems since we got it, this was just icing on the cake. Lol I never feel safe in it and haven't since we got it because it runs badly. It sputters and feels like it's gonna die and makes noise and hesitates when you turn the wheel to turn. So it is time to trade it in!

Update...
My headaches are not getting any better and the naproxen doesn't help anymore. So Bill and I talked about it and we decided that I'd try the muscle relaxer and seizure med to see if they will help with the headaches and if they don't then i'd stop taking them.
Well I picked the prescriptions up at Walmart on Friday and it turns out my Neurologist didn't prescribe me a seizure medicine. It is a Anti-depressant and a muscle relaxer.
The anti-depressant is "Amitriptylin" 25 mg. I take 1 tablet at bedtime for 7 days then take 2 tablets at bedtime.
Amitriptyline is used to treat symptoms of depression. Amitriptyline is in a class of medications called tricyclic antidepressants. It works by increasing the amounts of certain natural substances in the brain. Amitriptyline is also sometimes used to treat chronic pain, eating disorders, and certain skin problems.
The muscle relaxer is "Tizanidine" 2mg. I take one tablet by mouth 3 times daily.
So hopefully they will help. It makes me feel better to know it's an anti-depressant instead of a seizure medicine.
I started them yesterday morning when I went to bed and it knocked me out in 30 minutes. I slept for 9 1/2 hours and could have slept longer but got up. I am still feeling loopy and relaxed from them. lol
But the good news is I woke up and didn't have a migraine. I do have one now but it's almost my bedtime so i'll take more muscle relaxer and anti-depressant.
I hope they do help with the headaches. It's only the second day now so it's too early to tell.

Who are you, really???
This bulletin is for those who love and have chose to follow Jesus Christ whom is the ONLY way, the ONLY truth, and the ONLY life.
Does your life reflect what Christ would expect His followers to show the world???
How do you dress?
How do you talk to others (Christian and Non-Christian)?
What about your MySpace..............Does it reflect Christ's likeness????
Think about this...........
Revelation 3:15-22
15
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were
either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot
nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, 'I am
rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not
realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I
counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become
rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful
nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. 21 To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
See Christ don't want followers that are warm! He wants you to be hot or cold, NOT somewhere in the middle.
1 John 2:4 says....
The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Show your love and faith in Him in all that you are and all that you do.
Matthew7:13 says....
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
Choose to be different! Because if you choose to be like everyone else....well....you just read what will happen above.
I suggest you repost this to ALL your friends, not just the ones that
believe, right after you check yourself and ask........is Christ proud
of how I display myself?
God Bless!

A LETTER TO YOU FROM SATAN
................
A LETTER TO YOU FROM SATAN
I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores.
You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night. You are so unthankful, I like that about you.
I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living, Fool, you are mine.
Remember, you and I have been going steady for years, and I still don't love you yet.
As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God.
He kicked me out of heaven, and I'm going to use you as long as possible to pay him back.
You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you.
But you have yielded your life to me, and I'm going to make your life a living hell. That way, we'll be together twice. This will really hurt God.
Thanks to you, I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life with all of the good times we've had.
We have been...
watching dirty movies, cursing people out, stealing, lying, being hypocritical, fornicating, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, being judgmental, back stabbing people, disrespecting adults, and those in leadership positions, no respect for the Church, bad attitudes.
SURELY you don't want to give all this up.
Come on, Fool, let's burn together forever. I've got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you.
I'd like to say 'THANKS' for letting me use you for most of your foolish life.
You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you give in.
HA HA HA, you make me sick.
Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 years older, and now, I need new blood. So go ahead and teach some children how to sin.
All you have to do is smoke, get drunk or drink while under-aged,cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate, and live being as selfish as possible.
Do all of this in the presence of children and they will do it too. Kids are like that. Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I'll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, confess your sins, and live for God with what little bit of life that you have left.
It's not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, it's becoming a bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I still hate you.
IT'S JUST THAT YOU'D MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR CHRIST.
P.S. If you love me, you won't share this
