We are TTC again...

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.
