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 -
