Losing Weight.... Could it help me?

Well I have lost 14 pounds so far. I am not sure if this is going to help.. But I am feeling more confident in my body and love seeing myself in cuter clothes. :)

Chris and I are learning Creighton as I said before... We have our third meeting on the 31st. So looking forward to talking about all our data that has been collected and what our next steps will be.

Chris has been so supportive. I am married to a great guy.

More to come later.....

Still have hope.... 5 months trying... Starting our 6 month.

Our second Creighton Model appointment.... They said we were doing great with collecting data. They said my luteal phase could be longer. It is currently a 10. Now what else can I say about our appointment? We have another appointment on the 31st which happens to be our 6 month wedding anniversary. We can have relations starting the 31st. We have been going strong without relations since January 3rd. It is a great feeling that our marriage has never been based on relations and all that stuff. What else do I know about the Creighton Model and our results? I just had/have my period. Unfortunately/fortunately, it was two days long with 3 days of brown discharge - Paul, our Creighton instructor said that is a red flag for a progesterone deficiency... Which I guess is a great thing. That the blood work and our data are matching up. Unfortunately, I cannot be on progesterone until we have collected several cycles of Creighton.

This is what we know. We are not giving up. Satan is not going to win this. One day we will have a baby!

A New Year. A New Start.

Hi Everyone!!

Well its 2011. And we are definitely a few days into the new year.

I recently started a new diet (in hopes that this might help me and the DH conceive) and I have been losing weight too. Everyone that I see says I do not need to lose weight but no one knows my struggle right now. It has been difficult seeing all of my friends getting pregnant and having their babies.

So what do we do about it? I'm dieting. The DH and I are learning a new NFP method - Creighton. We are having our second class tomorrow. I am excited to meet with Paul tomorrow and talk about the past 2 weeks. Paul said we won't be able to meet with Diane (our doctor) for a few more sessions. When we finally meet with her, she will talk about what the next steps are. I'm hoping to be put on a Vitamin B compound, estradiol, progesterone and anything else that she will prescribe.

The DH has been so supportive during these past few months. At the end of this month, we will be celebrating our 6th month wedding anniversary. It is crazy to think that six months have passed and we are going strong.

Until next time....

God Bless. Keep praying. Keep hoping.
