We've had a long, hard road for the past few years. Once Quinn was reaching the end of his baby stages, Josh and I decided it was time to start trying for another baby. Despite all the charting, unsuccessful doctor visits, ovulation predictor kits, temping, etc we still couldn't get pregnant. One doctor said it was because of my weight, and another said we just weren't timing things right and he'd see us in a month when we got pregnant. So barring all doctors due to their stupidity or high prices, we took our problem up with the Lord, and have just been trying to make it through one day at a time.
We finally felt that maybe there was some sort of underlying cause that would keep us from getting pregnant again, and began looking at my issues (which there are plenty, believe me!) I started exercising more and eating better (but didn't lose any weight... grrr), and a few months ago I went off of my depression meds and started using 5-HTP (a more natural way of regulating seratonin) along with vitamin D3 and B complex. We noticed an immediate change (for the better) in my attitude and coping skills. And just over 2 months later, we got pregnant! Coincidence? I think not! There were just too many side effects and hormonal changes with whatever medication I've taken since after getting pregnant with Quinn.
So we strongly believe that the Lord has lead us to the right people to give us the right advice, and that He finally blessed us with another child!
I am 6 weeks along, and my due date is January 31st, 2013. And we couldn't be happier!
