My Pregnitude Baby Turns 1 Today!!

My sweet baby boy turns one today!! What a wonderful day it is!!  I am so thankful to Pregnitude for helping me conceive him!! If you have thought about Pregnitude, I would say it is worth a try!!

My husband and I plan on trying to conceive again in a few months.  This time around I will be using Plexus products to help with this. Heard of Plexus?  If you haven't you should check it out! I have read so many testimonials of people getting pregnant with it.  You know what is awesome?  It doesn't just address your fertility issues, it addresses overall health.  Since I have been on it, I have lost 20 lbs, my headaches are better, I am sleeping better, have way more energy and I am off my allergy meds! My OB approved it for me to take while pregnant and the lactation consultant and pediatrician approved it while I have been nursing.  I think that speaks volumes about the products.

If you would like more information about Plexus, I would so love to share!! I hate seeing anyone have to go through the pain of desperately wanting a child!  Please email me at megangarison@gmail.com or check out Plexus at http://megangariety.myplexusproducts.com/.

Good News

I got my BFP yesterday!!!  Pregnitude is amazing! I want to give it to all my friends struggling to get pregnant.  I took Clomid this month with it, so I'm sure that helped.  When I got pregnant with my son, I took Clomid and the 50 mg dose (which I took this time) resulted in a .5 progesterone level.  This time around, my progesterone on day 21 was 13.8!!  I got my day 28 HCG results today and they were 87 (they were only 8 when I got pregnant with my son!)  I am so thankful for the nurses that told me about the Pregnitude.  That combined with a lot of prayer and reliance on the Lord have made this journey hopefully ending with a happy, healthy pregnancy.  Good luck to you all!!

Things Are Looking Up...

I'm not going to lie, I've lost count as to how many days I have been on the Pregnitude but it's been a little over 2 months now.  I have some exciting and encouraging news to report (sorry, it's not a baby.) I think I am actually ovulating and I can actually tell when I am!  I started testing daily for ovulation around day 8 or so.  This past Friday, so day like 16 of my cycle, I woke up and had some extra cervical mucus and sure enough I got a positive ovulation test.  Considering that I ovulated on day 32 last cycle, this is a great improvement!  While the length of my cycles have varied, I can't recall a time when I was sure I ovulated like this cycle and the one before (that I was taking Pregnitude for as well.)  I'm already wanting to take a pregnancy test, but of course I know it's too early.

I went to my doctor two Friday's ago after having an ultra sound and blood work done.  He told me everything looked fine and that my only problem is that I am not ovulating.  My ultra sound showed no cycts or follicles to show that I have had any recently.  The blood work came back normal so he said he did not believe that I have PCOS, which is a relief that I still don't have that.  He wrote me a prescription for Clomid, so I plan on taking that along with the Pregnitude next cycle if I don't get pregnant.  Helpful hint:  When I took Clomid the first time, I was paying a lot of money for it at Meijer, but I did some research and found that I can get it at Walmart for $4.  I hope I don't need it, but if I do, I want it for cheap!:)

Thinking that this chalky drink I've been drinking for the last two months might be worth it...

Day 48: I Hate You Period

Dear Aunt Flo,

I hate you.  Like, you are my least favorite blood relative (get it?)  When I get you after convincing myself that I could be pregnant, I want to listen to sad songs and find ways to make them to pertain to my situation.  It's not like I'm getting any younger here.  Each time you appear, my dreams of a family of 4 (kids that is) shrinks and I realize that we are likely not going to get to have that many kids.  So thanks a lot.  I hope to not see you again for about a year and a half.

Not even sincerely,
Megan

Day 44 or so: Will It Or Won't It?

Here we are, I'm on day 44 (give or take a day) of taking Pregnitude and I am on day 42 of my cycle. I feel like I have been playing the waiting game for the past month or so, since I'm never really sure when I ovulate.  I got a smiley on my OPK test about 11 days ago, but I'm not sure that I actually ovulated, as that has been my problem. 

So I got a little restless this week and called my doctor to get the process started for going back on the Clomid. I know I didn't give the Pregnitude that much of a chance, but we've been trying for 6 months, I had to have Clomid last time and I'm getting older and we want a big family.  I know God has His own plan and I want to be willing to follow that, but I did feel peace after making that call.  I go for an ultrasound on Thursday to check out my lady parts and then get bloodwork done on the 2nd or 3rd day of my period and have a consult with my doctor on the 27th.  Phew.  That seems like a lot of work to make a baby (and that's only a small part of it!)  I mean, honestly, when you were younger, watching episodes of Teen Mom, it never seemed this hard to make a baby!;)

I can feel something starting to brew in my body today, whether it's a period or a baby, I don't know...because I always think it's a baby.  I'm hoping and praying I don't have to go through this again in a month!!

Day 35: Could there still be hope?

Yesterday was day 34 and I was just waiting for my period to start. I was experiencing symptoms that seemed like I was ovulating so I decided on a whim to just take an ovulation test last night.  I got a smiley!!  I'm hoping this time that the smiley means that I actually ovulated and not just because my body was trying to but didn't actually ovulate.  Hoping to have good news to report in about two weeks!

Day 22: I'm Over It

Barf.  It's like day 20 of my cycle and I still haven't gotten a smiley face.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised, because when has my cycle ever been any kind of regular, but I just had high hopes for my first month of Pregnitude.  I'm about to order my next box, but really I just want to call my doctor up and ask to be put on Clomid (like I was on with my first pregnancy.)  I mean, at least I know that works, whereas I have no idea if this Pregnitude will work and it's costing me $40 a month. 

Any hope or encouraging stories to keep me going?
