I guess my supplements are doing some type of good. I woke up feeling raging hormones, just like when i was on Provera, my bbs are sore and I am having constant pains in my lower stomach and side and it is shooting down. Doesnt sound pleasant, but it means something is going on, and if this is how provera made me feel that means AF is coming! I think! |

wantababylots~ Since you guys just started trying after December, there isn't necessarily anything wrong. Sometimes it just takes awhile to get pregnant. There is an Ovulex that is made for males, Amberoz. My DH wants to start taking it but he isn't yet so I don't have any personal experience with it. If your DH wants to get tested for infertility, you should be able to get it done at a dr's office, or Walgreens also sells a test that men can use at home to test their sperm count, I believe. I saw it last time I was purchasing opk's. It is probably also on their website if you wanted to check it out. |

One thing that we do want to be aware of that our mother's didnt have to worry about as much is our environment. The american way of life today is alot different than it was back then, so we need to take a more active role in our lives to make sure our bodies will work properly. I have learned recently that huge amounts of our foods have alot of added and natural hormones that will imbalance our bodies. some plants have phyto-estrogens which act as extra estrogen in our bodies, as well as milk, eggs, and beef for the main ones that have ALOT of added hormones which imbalance our natural hormone balance. Artificial sweetners, MSG are all things that damage the hypothalimus which regulates our hormones. these are just a few of the things that we have to worry about that our parents didnt have to as much. I know we are all on either Ovulex or another supplement to help balance our cycle which comes from balancing our hormones, we just need to make sure that we look a litte more closely to these other factors, because they do effect our bodies more than we know, and those things along w/ america's poor diet adds up to tons more women w/ unexplained infertility issues. We may not be able to change that for the country, but we can do our best to fix it for ourselves! |

I have honestly NEVER thought about it. I knew that our food had extra crap in it, but never even gave it a second thought to how it effects our bodies. Then I purchased this book about PCOS and it discusses alot of that stuff. It is a serious problem. if you think about our bodies like a machine, you have to use a certain oil, fuel, and water. if you add too much oil its going to break, if you use the wrong kind of fuel, its going to break, you use water that has chemicals and stuff, its going to break. Our body is very much like a machine, you have to have a perfect balance for it to work properly, when we add stuff that shouldnt be there, its not going to work. I really like the science stuff, so the more I read the more it facinates me, but it still is hard to make changes. On a positive note, in the US the dont add hormones to chickens or pigs! so we can eat chicken and pork w/o worry! lol |

Cassee~ That is really interesting. I had never thought about it, either. My sister is always advocating organic foods but I haven't really gotten into them. Maybe I should look into it. :) The only problem I have with them is that they're so expensive and I'm finishing up my last year of school so money is tight right now. |
