Fertility Diet

I have been on my diet 3 days today.. I must admit, it has been quite the challenge for me. Especially, when everything I consume for the next 90 days has to be completely organic. One never takes into consideration how unhealthy our eating habits really are. Especially in today's world, we go for convenience & not quality. I have been eating nothing but greens, nuts, and healthy soups. When I removed all the carbs that my body was used to receiving my body instantly felt weak. It was horrible. Little by little I feel more energetic. I am getting used to reaching for a piece of fruit over the unhealthy sugars that my body begs for.

I read so many stories online about infertility. It breaks my heart. As women you would think that our bodies would naturally conceive. Sadly, it's not the case for so many of us. So many unknown causes preventing us from procreating. I hope my journey isn't so difficult. I pray that we will experience what women are supposed to, the joy of being a mother...

"That is all I have to say about that........."

Taken for granted......

I never realized how much work would go into us trying to start a family.. Heterosexual couples don't realize how fortunate they are. I am not oblivious to the fact that some of them do in fact have obstacles to face. Infertility does not discriminate.

I am speaking more on the fact that they are blessed that they can try to conceive that little miracle each and every month. We however have the added stress of finding a potential male friend who wouldn't mind donating some of his good swimmers & there are also those who have to seek assistance at the nearest cryobank.

I am currently trying to get my body ready for pregnancy. I am on this very strict diet, The Fertility Diet. Everything for the next three months has to be completely organic. That gets a little expensive too. I also have to write down my daily temperature, CM, & weight loss. We will try our first insemination in May. My period has been irregular due to my weight gain, however I hope that with eating healthier and with regular exercise that problem corrects itself... If not, hello Metformin & Clomid.

Here is the beginning of our journey trying to conceive a beautiful baby of our own...
