It took 6 months to get pregnant with baby #1 who is 2 years old. For the past year we have been TTCing for baby #2 with no luck whatsoever. Over the months I have used a variety of things such as preseed, acupuncture, royal jelly, and Q10. In the past couple of months I started drinking a smoothie every morning with fruit, almond milk, maca and acai powders, and greens. A few months ago, we went for fertility testing and were told that everything was normal, but that due to my age we should go straight to IVF. The doctor suggested I may want to try Clomid first (which I see as the "gateway" drug to fertility treatments). We tried naturally for a few more months, again nothing, so I got discouraged and went back to the fertility clinic to get Clomid. When I went home, my gut told me that it was a mistake and that I should be able to get pregnant naturally. I returned the Clomid and got pregnant naturally that month! The difference in my antra follicle count in those few months was drastic. My count doubled from 10 to 20 and my FSH went down from 7 to 5. I really feel like my supplements and daily smoothie made the difference. I have been so discouraged over the months. I am still in shock that this is finally happening...I was sure that my period was on its way because I had some brownish spotting at 12DPO. But when I still had no period at 13 DPO, I tested and voila!
