We just started trying in August of '07. We have been married since June '06, and whenever someone brought up having a baby, we both would say, "No, not yet! We're not ready!

So I talked to DH and we are now on this journey together!

[melnzai]

Name? Melanie
TTC story? We have been ttc #2 since 2/06. It has been a long and very emotional journey that I want to put an end to with a sticky bean. We have tried various things, including ovulation induction using stims with no luck. We are hoping that turning to the chinese method for curing infertility will do the trick for us. So, last month I started a ton of supplements. This month, I started a diet cutting out all refined carbs, refined sugar, and dairy. I started that diet 3 days ago and can tell I am losing weight. I feel better than I have in 8 years since starting all of this. Now, it is onto using acupressure and yoga to stay relaxed and bring my body into harmony.

Name one thing you can do: I can touch my nose with my tongue. I used to be a gymnast, so I can also still do some flips if necessary. Although since I had a c-sec with my DS, it will be hard for me. :D

Name one thing you can't do: Math in my head. I hate math! :lol:

Name one bad habit: Eating too much junk food. Good thing I am on a new diet. I can't eat it anymore.

Someone you admire: My friend who has spent 5-6 years dealing with infertility and continuing to have faith in God.
