Mission Statement

So. I guess I can best sum up the purpose of this blog as follows:

Hubby and I want to enlarge our family. Currently we have 1 daughter, age nine. We plan on having a few more and this blog will document our road to that.


There are a few things to consider. Number 1: I've had about seven miscarriages in the 10 years hubby and I have been married. Number 2: I have a hormone imbalance. Number 3: I have been diagnosed with PCOS. Number 4: My last miscarriage was this past December.

Following that miscarriage, my doctor had me take some injections to stimulate egg growth which worked beautifully. Then she gave me an injection to release the eggs. However, nothing happened when we went for the check-up. No fertilization or anything. Hubby has agreed to get his sperm count checked to make sure his swimmers are swimming. He hasn't yet, but I'll remind him.

Meanwhile, I have found out that having a congested liver can seriously contribute to infertility so I plan to do a colon cleanse and liver cleanse. Once my liver is cleaned out, my hormone imbalance should correct itself. People with a congested liver often suffer from estrogen dominance, which is exacly the case with me. I put a link to the site that talks about it in my links section. The site also sells something that sounds like it would work in my case called Chinese Bitters and Coptis. As for the PCOS, I found something interesting called Vitex. It looks promising. I'm going to check it out, inshallah. Some of the products sold on sensible health have vitex in them. So far I've been dosing myself with progesterone, 10mg a day. It keeps my period regular but I want more than that and I don't want to rely on drugs. I want to start using natural products.

That's it for now. More later, inshallah.
