Our Story

We are a happy family of three eager to add more delightful children to our home. My husband and I are in our mid-twenties and conceived our daughter quite easily. We had a plan of wanting to keep our children two years apart and we started trying to conceive our second child fourteen months ago.
It was probably six months into the process that I started dealing with discouragement and some slight depression when we'd realize another month had gone by without success. I did some research online and read that most doctors won't take fertility issues seriously until after trying for a minimum of twelve months. So, we continued doing what we were doing.
I tried ovulation tests and they proved to be inconclusive, which added more stress to the process. I have always tracked my cycle and am very in-tune with my body. We eat healthy and I make all of our meals from scratch to avoid unwanted preservatives and enjoy food in it's purest form as best as possible with a tight budget.
 The statistics astound me with how many couples struggle to conceive after their first baby -- over 1 million couples! -- it's a lot higher than I thought. But, instead of going the typical route of medical treatments, we have decided to invest our limited resources into our over-all health. Since most couples seeking fertility treatments spend upwards of $15,000 with only a 20% success rate for pregnancy, the odds are not worth the cost in our opinion. We found a program (called Natural Fertility Prescription) that will help us seek over-all health and will hopefully lead us on the path to more babies.
If you are struggling with fertility, please join us. My goal is to make this a place of support, comfort and encouragement because I know that my husband and I are not alone on this journey.
