This blog will primarily be about my ttc (trying to conceive) journey. We are ttc in our 30's as full-time working professionals, and trying for our second baby. We have been blessed with one wonderful child.

I decided to start this blog to record my experiences and express myself, to give information and support to others, and to receive information and support from others. Please understand that although this blog is public, my husband and I plan to keep it anonymous. Please feel free to leave comments or ask any questions. I hope you will share this journey with us!

The new game plan



The new game plan:

  • reduce soy as much as possible
  • try to eat some more organic foods when possible
  • start using OPK's to better monitor ovulation
  • start taking "Fertilaid," which replaces my pre-natal and also has some herbal supplements in it to help regulate the cycle. I felt great on this stuff! I could tell it was working in some way, I noticed changes in CM (cervical mucus), amongst other changes.
  • still use Fertility Awareness and target the 10 day fertile window


I felt empowered and more in control of our ttc.

These changes actually doubled my luteal phase length, from 8 days to 17 days!! But these changes also lengthened my cycle so they were now 41 day cycles. You win some, you lose some. And this pretty much brings us to the present day when I started this blog, you are almost all caught up on this journey, just one last thing...
