Before I even start writing this post out, I want to state up front not only for my protection, but for the protection on my readers, that this post is not medical advice, and I am not advising you to do what I did getting pregnant with my two boys. This is simply what helped me.

With that being said!  When my husband and I decided we wanted to have my oldest son, it wasn’t an easy thing, and it took us months. I was often confused because I was a healthy, twenty one year old, with no real issues. I had always had a regular cycle, except for when I was on birth control.  So when months went by with negative tests, ovulation strips, and blood tests.  All of it landed me at my local health food store.

I had worked for a Chiropractor and Natropath as one of my first jobs out of high school, and saw so many miracles take place through natural medicine. Herbs, acupuncture, acupressure, and simple Chiropractic adjustments. So I knew going to the health food store was the right thing to do.

After wandering the aisles of this store, I asked a woman that worked there for help. It just so happened that she was a natropath, so it was a total score all around. She pointed me in the right direction of something called Femaprin. She game me the strict instructions. Take 6 a day!  Break it up however I want, which I did 2 with breakfast, two with lunch, and two with dinner.

On top of this I added in Evening Primrose oil till ovulation, and an extra folic acid supplement.

Believe it or not, that month is when I got pregnant with Camden. My ovulation was late, and I had two negative blood tests, but I was pregnant. Eventually I had a positive blood test, and the evil OB I was seeing scared me to death by labeling Camden a “threatened miscarriage”.  I sat on edge till I was in my third trimester just because of those two words.

Overall, I still swear by that process. It helped me so greatly!

OB’s Aren’t Listening to ACOG

OB’s aren’t listening to ACOG. While this is a huge shock for some people, it is not surprising for others. But how did I come to this conclusion?  Well, becoming pregnant put me in a position I was not comfortable being in yet. Being a woman looking for a trial of labor after two previous…

What to Expect While Expecting = Worst Pregnancy Book EVER!

I have never been a fan of this book. I think it is frightening, inaccurate, and gives a lot of outdated information, even in the newest additions. But of course it is still the number one selling pregnancy book of all time. How it got there I will simply never understand though. Maybe it is…

Is WIC Killing Breastfeeding Relationships?

This is something I have always thought about when it comes to organizations like WIC giving out formula in large amounts for women to be able to feed their babies. I dealt with WIC here in my state for a short period of time after my youngest son was born, and I found their breastfeeding…

Goodbye Sanity!

If you recall, I made a post a couple weeks ago about my toddler pooping like my mothers chihuahua in her backyard as an answer to all those people who asked when we plan on having our third child. Well apparently someone else had different plans for our family. For the past week or so…

NCMEC & BlogHer

If you do not know what NCMEC stands for, it is the abbreviation for The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. When I was preparing to go to BlogHer, I got contacted by a representative from Tavern Direct, and this is where it may get confusing to some. What does a company that sells…

Medicaid Changes Proposed in Utah?

A very slippery slope if I do say so myself, but I can totally see where Dan Liljenquist is saying. Recently, a lawmaker in Utah has proposed that medicaid stop paying for elective procedures such as epidurals, and elective cesarean sections. I am kind of torn on the subject myself though. I will explain the…
