hi ladies ( mums to be :-))) )

god where do i start - just want to say i love this site - what a fab network - dont think people realise the hardship/upset/anxiety/ and consuming hours spent obsessing on ttc .- i am 39yrs and dh is 32yrs - we have had the worst 2yrs of our lives in ttc - every month waiting for D Day :-/ - never thought for one second id have any problems in ttc - after losing my business last we have really be trying sooo hard - up till then i was so career orientated even tho i desperately wanted a child my career came first - ( BIG MISTAKE ) - I never knew how hard it is to conceive after the age of 35yrs and im ashamed to say i was in the health and beauty industry for many years - well hears my story to date - i hope theres others out there that can share my journey with me :-)))))


  • after trying to conceive for over a year - i did my research and on clomid - ( my cycles were and still are extremely regular - every 26 days - o d14 - lh - d12 - i took 50mg for 6 months - ( major craziness ) dh said hed move out and show up on o days i was that bad :-)))) ( awful really ) hot flushes - really awful mood swings - couldnt be around kids ( heartbraking ) snapped at literally everything and everyone - ( refused to taked clomid again ) did not get pregnant - but defo increased ovulation/pain.



    this year after alot of research - i realised due to my business failing - gaining 2 stone in weight - poor diet - lack of physical activity and consuming to much vino ( drank it like tea lol ) i realised that maybe my body both pysically and mentally was not letting me conceive ??????????

    so ladies ( flash bulb ) moment - i changed my diet - no coffee - no alcohol - exercising regularly - im also and dh taking - pre natal vits - pure raw maca ( this is amazing = google ( raw maca ) and im feeling on top of the world -
    lifestyle change only 1 month :-)))))

    we have just done our first set of injections for the fertility clinic !!!!! sooooo excited :-))))) we are booked in 2wks time for scan and semen analysis - at least we can than go forward and try iui ?????? please god we are good to go lol

Ooh honey keep your chin up I had SOF and they said nothing they can do I had begun to accept that mayb MH was not for me but I took Maca and D3 in very high doses and nothing then 6 months later My ovaries decided that they were in fact working fine. Keep at it xox

Fingers crossed Pandoraxx, not long to wait either so hopefully your change in lifestyle has had a dramatic affect. Last two years sounds like they have been hard work so maybe this is the light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck for the coming days, will send happy thoughts your way.
