Fertility Blend

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!
