3 More Ways to Take Charge of Your Fertility if You are Trying to Get Pregnant
3 Ways to Take Charge of Your Fertility - Part 2 by Janet Fox
I know my first article "3 Ways to Take Charge of Your Fertility" wasn't complete and I've now found the time to get out another 3 ways to take charge of your fertility.
I feel these 3 ways are DIRECT ways to take charge of your fertility and make things happen.
1. Chart Your Basal Body Temperature
Charting your basal body temperature is necessary if you are trying to get pregnant. Charting your temperature cycle can catch a luteal phase defect (symptom of low progesterone) when you have a few months of charts to see the pattern. These patterns can also catch other problems. Believe me, if you happen to have fertility issues, these charts can be priceless! I discovered that I had a luteal phase defect once I began charting my basal body temperature after my 3rd miscarriage. There are many websites where you can track your ovulation or you can just do it manually. Just search Google and you will have a slew of websites to choose from. To do it manually you can view the article "Taking Charge of Your Fertility, Charting Your BBT" and that will explain how to chart your ovulation.
2. Use an Ovulation Test Kit
I will NEVER try to get pregnant without an ovulation test kit again. I am serious! It's easy to use. You start using it 7 -10 days after day 1 of your cycle and the lines get darker the closer you are to ovulation. It's that simple! This can help you pinpoint the EXACT day when you are fertile and having intercourse that day raises your chances for conceiving. View my blog below to see where you can get very inexpensive kits.
3. Have intercourse at least every other day during your fertile time
This is SO important! I don't suggest having intercourse many times everyday, but every other day and especially on the day you are most fertile. When you have some bbt charts under your belt, you can see when you will be fertile and start intercourse BEFORE you ovulate. I've even read that if you have intercourse 3-5 days BEFORE you ovulate you are more likely to have a girl because the sperm that have the girl dna are slower swimmers. :)
Ok, so there you have it. These 3 ways to take charge of your fertility are ways that you can control (I love to be in control).

Chiropractic and Fertility - Natural Remedy for Infertility
Pregnancy Secret Exposed - How to Conceive Naturally by Using Chiropractic by Bobbie Turner
When we were children we fell, bruised our knees, and fell again. When we fall it is very common for a vertebrae to slip out of alignment. Now, imagine yourself as a 9-month-old boy who is just learning to walk. You fall constantly because you are unstable. Now think of all the times you've fallen. I GUARANTEE there is some part of your spinal column that is out of alignment from those falls. Now, imagine 30, 40, or 50 years has passed and now you are experiencing bad back pain. Would it be safe to assume that all those falls as a little child could have contributed to this pain? I say YES. If you never get adjusted and put those vertebrae back in place, they are "stuck" in a position that could inhibit nerve activity throughout your whole body.
Come on... How does this relate to trying to get pregnant? What does this have to do with me, you might ask?
Here is your answer.
If you are subluxated (out of alignment) I guarantee that your nervous system is not functioning at 100%. It is speculated that if you are out of alignment in a certain part of your spine, it can block nerve flow to your uterus and fallopian tubes, causing poor performance such as irregular periods, heavy menstrual cramping, or infertility. There are not medical studies out there proving this claim, but there have been infertile couples who have gone to a chiropractor as their last resort and have gotten pregnant. This has been happening throughout the world. I have a very close friend who is a chiropractor and she tells me stories all the time about how chiropractic had influenced a patient's fertility. Now, Like other natural remedies to help conceive, not ALL women will conceive naturally by using chiropractic alone, but it is definitely a stone to not be left unturned.
There have been times that women have gotten pregnant after receiving regularly scheduled chiropractic adjustments. And, yes, there have been times where women have not gotten pregnant after getting chiropractic care. But you will not know if you don't try.
When you do your research, and decide to seek out a chiropractor, PLEASE make an appointment with one who has years of experience with pregnancy care.
If you are wondering how to conceive naturally by other means, please stay tuned for a few more articles to address this topic.

Trying to get Pregnant? Avoid These Mistakes to Get Pregnant Faster
3 Mistakes to Avoid When Trying to Get Pregnant Fast by Bobbie Turner
Do you track your ovulation? What method do you use? Do you just count 2 weeks before your cycle will start? Has this method not been working for you?
Then I suggest you read on...
I will share with you the 3 mistakes to avoid when trying to get pregnant fast, but before I do I want to step up on my soap box. Excuse me-I need to step up on the box... Just one second... OK, as a general rule of thumb, doctors do not investigate why you are not getting pregnant if you've only been trying for under a year.
I say "phooey" to that method! This is why...
My husband and I got pregnant very quickly early on in our quest to get pregnant. One thing that went wrong is that I lost my first 3 pregnancies. If I would have been following the 3 mistakes to avoid when trying to get pregnant fast, I would have discovered that I had a luteal phase deficiency. To keep it short, the lining of my uterus did not have enough time to generate rich nutrients to keep the pregnancy. This is also defined when you have 10 days or less after ovulation when you start your menstrual cycle. This generally can be caused by low progesterone.
Get to the point, lady! Ok, I won't keep you hanging by a string any longer! I will share with you the 3 mistakes to avoid when trying to get pregnant fast.
3 Mistakes to Avoid when Trying to Get Pregnant Fast
1. You don't chart your basal body temperature
Charting your basal body temperature is VITAL, in my opinion, in knowing EXACTLY when you ovulate. It can also catch a luteal phase defect when you have a few months of charts to see the pattern. Then, you have facts and evidence to give to your doctor if it's been taking a while to get pregnant. I HIGHLY suggest starting this right when you want to start trying to get pregnant. Believe me, if you happen to have fertility issues, these charts can be worth GOLD! There are many websites where you can track your ovulation. Just search Google and you will have a slew of websites to choose from.
2. You don't use an ovulation test kit
I will NEVER try to get pregnant without an ovulation test kit again. I am serious! It's easy to use. You start using it 7 -10 days after day 1 of your cycle and the lines get darker the closer you are to ovulation. It's that simple! This can be a back up for you to pinpoint the EXACT day when you are fertile and you can have all the fun you want making a baby. :)
3. You don't have intercourse at least every other day when you are fertile
This is VITAL! I'm not telling you to have intercourse until your eyes fall out- I'm just suggesting that every other day will put the fertility goddess in your court.
Now, I'm not a medical professional, but I can tell you this- after losing 3 pregnancies... I WISH I WOULD HAVE AVOIDED THESE MISTAKES!
Please do NOT make the same mistake I did! Do not delay! Follow the GET PREGNANT FAST link below to see how you can "get pregnant fast!"

Addicted to Pregnancy Tests? Is That Possible?
My $80 Per Month Pregnancy Test Addiction by Bobbie Turner
I was OBSESSED. I could have SWORN I was pregnant. I swear I had ALL the signs of being pregnant!!
Come on... Are you with me? Have you ever felt like that before? I think we all have been there when we were trying to get pregnant. If you are like me (most people aren't as crazy) you would use up to 20 pregnancy tests EASY every cycle. Ok, I couldn't keep up with my addiction in testing for pregnancy (tests in the store are approximately $4/each at best) so I had to find the cheapest way to support my addiction. To this day, my husband still doesn't know about my crazy pregnancy test addiction! So you better not spill the beans!
Since I couldn't support my $80 per month pregnancy test addiction, I had to find a cheaper way to support it. I used Google to search for pregnancy test retailers online. I searched high and low, far and wide. I eventually settled on The Fertility Shop, at $.60/test, I could get dozens! If I still used 20 tests per month, that would only be $12!!! I had cut the cost of my addiction into a fraction of what it was costing me.
How exciting!! RIGHT? All humor aside, testing that often really isn't necessary. Testing first thing in the morning is generally the best way to test for pregnancy because HCG levels are the most concentrated in morning urine. You've been holding it for nearly 8 hours, THAT'S why it's most concentrated.
I'm being logical about this right now, but when I try for baby #2, I GUARANTEE I will take up my pregnancy test addiction.
I'm OK with it. At least it only lasts until I get pregnant. I think that's why my husband doesn't need to know about my addiction. It can be our little secret.
Click on the early pregnancy test below if you want to investigate getting cheaper pregnancy tests to support YOUR pregnancy test addiction! Let's just keep this between you and me. Our husbands don't need to find out, right?

Is Someone You Know Experiencing a Miscarriage? These 3 Questions May Help
How to Help Someone Who Experienced a Miscarriage by Bobbie Turner
How to help someone who experienced a miscarriage can be a very, very touchy subject. Although most miscarriages go unsaid, they will NEVER be forgotten.
It is important to say the "right" thing if you are encountered with this situation. Now, the 3 things to say or ask when you are in the situation isn't backed with a guarantee or the end all, be all. You will be dealing with a specific personality and temperament.
3 Things to Say or Ask Someone Who Experienced a Miscarriage
1. "I'm so sorry for your loss, can I help with anything?" (Offer help only if you mean it)
2. "Do you want to talk about it?" (Make sure you have time to listen)
3. "I don't know if this is the right thing to say right now, but God has a plan for you and your little one is in God's hands right now, safe and sound" (Use this phrase carefully- it really depends on the person you are talking to)
Remember that we all experience grief at some point in our lives, just talk to someone how you would want someone to talk to you in a situation like this.
How to help someone who experienced a miscarriage is very important and if that person/couple in your life is sharing this news with you, they probably just want you to listen and be there for support.
In closing, knowing what to say in this type of situation may help you be at ease for your friend or family member and you just might be that emotional support they need to persevere through this sad time in their life.
I have been through 3 recurrent miscarriages and I remember what type of support I received. It was helpful for me at them time and I know these were the questions or encouragement that I was grateful for. I hope you will put this article in your pocket and be there for that someone in your life that may have experienced a miscarriage.

Early Pregnancy Feels Like FOREVER!
3 Ways to Speed Up Early Pregnancy If This is Your First Pregnancy by Bobbie Turner
I found it so hard to get through my first 12 weeks of pregnancy short of going absolutely crazy. It felt like F-O-R-E-V-E-R! I remember thinking that I needed to find something to do or this was going to be the LONGEST time of my life. So, I came up with 3 ways to speed up early pregnancy if this is your first pregnancy.
1. Find a hobby
I never knew how to sew and I never wanted to take the time to learn. But now would be the perfect time to learn, so I bought a sewing machine. I had a few cloth diaper patterns that I printed from an online website that I wanted to try to sew. I bought the material and supplies needed in order to embark on this adventure. In the end, my son wore my cloth diapers for one week until I discovered that he hated being wet! So, all of the cloth diaper covers I made ended up not being used. BUT, it kept me busy for the first 12 weeks of my pregnancy and up until my son was born.
2. Find ways to volunteer in your community
There are many ways to volunteer in your community. You can go through your local church, food shelf, daycare or even the Brothers and Sisters of America in your local area. Everyone always could use a helping hand. What a better way to pass those first 12 weeks than serving others!
3. Offer to babysit for a friend, family member or neighbor
This is one the best ways to pass the time in your first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Why not offer your handy babysitting services to family and friends if you want this time to go by fast? You could offer a one night per week to help a friend or family member get out and get some alone time. I'm sure they'd appreciate it! You'll know how much it is appreciated soon enough!
I hope you find these 3 ways to speed up early pregnancy if this this is your first pregnancy helpful. I know they helped me get through the "LONG" waiting period of having my son!

Trouble Getting Pregnant? Go Get Your Progesterone Level Checked!
Pregnancy After Miscarriage - Get Your Progesterone Level Checked! By Bobbie Turner
When my husband and I decided to start a family, we were excited and thought it would happen right away. Well, becoming pregnant came quick, but keeping my pregnancies became a recurrent problem.
After my 3rd miscarriage, I was determined to educate myself and find out the possible causes. I searched "low progesterone" on Google because I had a hunch that my progesterone may have been low due to a hormone test I had in the past. I found a slew of information, yet my doctor did not believe that progesterone supplementation was not a proven method of saving miscarriages. I sought a second opinion and when we FINALLY got around to taking the progesterone level test- I had a low progesterone level (10mg) and so the infertility specialist prescribed me 200mg of progesterone to be taken orally for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy as soon as I became pregnant again.
My son was born in November 2008 and I got pregnant with him exactly a year after we first started trying to conceive.
I know that low progesterone has the potential of being the cause of SO many miscarriages and infertility problems. In this day and age with the stress levels and pesticides/chemicals in foods, we never know how it all can affect our hormone levels.
If you or someone you know is having trouble getting pregnant and/or staying pregnant please tell them to get their progesterone checked! I'm living proof that low progesterone COULD be the cause of miscarriage, although it is not the only cause.
My only recommendation (I'm not a medical professional, just writing from personal experience) is to get your progesterone checked BEFORE you do all the infertility tests. I had to pay $900 out of pocket for an infertility procedure because I didn't know what direction I should have taken. I just wanted to get pregnant and be a mommy!
In the end I did the following things with my last pregnancy:
1. Took progesterone for the first 12 weeks of my pregnancy
2. Received acupuncture for the first 12 weeks biweekly
3. Took Chinese herbs for my first 12 weeks of pregnancy
4. Received Chiropractic treatment throughout my pregnancy
5. Listened to relaxation Cd's
6. Talked and sang to my son all the time throughout the day
Check out my blog below to read more on my recurrent miscarriage and pregnancy journey.
I'm planning on writing so much more on pregnancy-related articles, so stay tuned!
Infertility Is A Message From Your Body Telling You Something Is WRONG Inside!
I went through a year of pregnancies and miscarriages before we got pregnant and had our son (my 4th pregnancy).
I feel it is necessary to inform all couples and women to educate themselves and seek the best path for them in overcoming recurrent miscarriages and/or infertility.
Pregnancy after miscarriage is possible!
