For many families the inability to conceive is a heartbreaking reality. Mr. Right and I spent many months thinking this was our reality. I spent most of my young adult years with amenorrhea (lack of periods), so attempting to use an ovulation calendar or the fertility apps seemed daunting. I tried it all. Read books, logged symptoms, cried, prayed, you name it, I tried it!<\/p>\n
Fortunately, I was able to discuss our fears of not getting pregnant with my OB. She was able to prescribe Provera to jump start my cycle and voila I was pregnant a month later. Imagine my shock. We had spent so many months trying to do it on our own with no luck and just like that, our lives were about to change forever. Honestly, I thought it would take months and we would be right on \u2018schedule\u2019.<\/p>\n
I was terrified, excited…so many emotions.<\/p>\n
If you want to make God laugh, tell him what your<\/em> plan is! The list could go on…but I am hear to tell you that it is not always the woman with the inability to conceive. You heard that right … And the silver lining here is that there are simple ways to find out if your male partner has underlying issues before you put your body through the ringer!<\/p>\n I learned a lot about my body and the role nutrition plays into balancing hormones and increasing fertility success. Diet is important, regardless of gender. What you eat is imperative to how your body functions.<\/p>\n
\nMy story is not always how it works out for other families. I have many friends that have struggled and continue to struggle with growing their families. It breaks my heart. As women, we often put the blame on ourselves\u2026.<\/p>\n\n
