The Good Experience

…is the number 1 question on the minds of the majority of 30+ year old women that do not have children.
It creeps into your head 50 times per hour. “Whats wrong with me?” “What did I do to cause this?” What if i can never have kids?” followed by guilt, sadness, feelings of inadequacy.

I know. Ive been there. But you know what? After 3+ years of fertility treatment, i am ecstatic to say that i now have 2 beautiful children; a girl (21 months) and a boy (9 months).

And guess what? It happened AFTER I stopped the fertility medication. I did it all natural (well, with some help from my herbalist). A lot of the reason why I couldn’t get pregnant was because I was thinking about it ALL THE TIME. My herbalist would tell me i need to relax.

Yea right. YOU relax!

I’m running out of time! but the truth is, when we stopped fertility drugs (our VISA Card didn’t have the room it needed for the next phase of treatment - the $10,000 IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) program, we had no choice but to stop. and this was the much needed ‘rest’ or relaxation our herbalist was talking about.

While we were in a position where we couldn’t do anything, it wasn’t on our minds as much. the pressure of the $3000 monthly fertility drugs HAVING to work this month was not burdening us. It was actually during this time that i switch jobs - to one closer to home, and less stressful. one where i could wear track pants to work (lululemons ).

I left my office job, and worked in Administration at a personal training studio. After 4 months of stopping the fertility treatment, I was on my way to the gym with my husband one day, and started to feel weird. We actually stopped at the Shoppers Drug Mart on the way to the gym and picked up a pregnancy test. I took the test in the washroom at the gym and it said I WAS PREGNANT!. I ran out to tell my husband, and we obviously didn’t stay at the gym and train (LOL). We went home right away to relax/celebrate.

In a nutshell, this is my story. I will continue to post details, as many of you will likely have questions or want more information.

I am in the process of having my fertility treatment centre (Newlife Fertility) in Mississauga, pull and send me my file. I will be posting scans and screenshots of some of my documents so you can really relate to my story.

I really hope this can serve as inspiration for you to keep trying and never give up. God works in mysterious ways. I hadn’t gotten a period in 4 years, when I “passed” the pregnancy test. it was physically impossible for my body to conceive, yet I did.

Hang in there!!!
