Clearblue EASY- NOT SO EASY......

If any of you have used clearblue EASY products especially their Ovulation tests.... Let me know... I have one of their kits and the ones that have 7 tests and I have a kit that has 7 tests in them. I also have not had success with this product as I believe I have a defective test/kits.

you will see why below.... here is the message I wrote to them on their facebook page as a private message though. 


"Hey so my husband the other day got me some ovulation kit(S) there are 7 tests in there. And I have tried several of them and I HAVE FOLLOWED the directions correctly. The ONES I HAVE are defective and they do not work. NONE of them. Upon following directions all I get on the digital screen is in one corner a graphic/image of the test and the other corner on the side like a graphic of what looks like a "book" like maybe for instructions. I know how to take these type tests as I have done them before in the past. I GOT A DEFECTIVE TEST(s). NONE OF THEM ARE WORKING. And we spent $35 approx. for the tests. This is not a good way to do business and not good business - there needs to be better quality control and assurance and checking before they are sent out to stores etc. I also would like some reimbursement and or a coupon for a FREE PRODUCT or something.  "


I am not doing it incorrectly I know how to take these tests.... but, if by chance I am doing something wrong I would like to know....

Wonder if this works- Fertile Flame Fertility Candle

I found this product on amazon and just placed a order. The item is called "Fertile Flame Fertility Candle " .
My husband and I are trying to have a baby and we have had no luck yet. So I am excited to check out this product to see what it is all about and if it works. Prayers and love and support is appreciated.

Will keep you informed....

Not Yet.... But, you never know until you try....

As some or many of you may remember that last month I was pretty confident and sure I was pregnant. As I was "Late" and had missed my cycle and such. I was sure of it and I also was sure I felt different and there were changes in my body so that convinced me even more that we had a baby on the way. But, then eventually I did start my cycle. 
Well that was last month so this month comes along and the time period comes around this month (same time frame) from when I started my cycle last month (I hope this makes sense and I am trying to express in a way that makes sense) what I am getting at.  It comes and goes and so here we are at almost the 29th and nothing. Well earlier today I think maybe pregnant.

So just awhile ago I take a test as I had one already.... Here is the result

If I had been pregnant both the control line & test line would have appeared. But, only the control line appeared. So NOPE not yet!!! and it could be I just tested a little early. However if all else fails there is always next month.

We would appreciate your continued love, support, and prayers for us in this journey! We have no stronger desire than to be able to bring children into the world and to be parents.

Change of Plans.... of Sorts....

Want to keep you all updated....

So um, Change of plans of sorts.... I changed Doctors to one closer to home. And so my new appointment is Nov 29th, 2013 - yes a little longer! Prayers to keep me healthy and for the Starting baby, getting pregnant journey etc.

Now's The Time....

So  I feel that now is the time.

 Time that I take charge and go see and get me a OB/GYN so I can better prepare myself to take care of my health (women's) and all that. I have to deal with some financial stuff.

We will be taking care of that. And my First Appointment with my OB/GYN is September 3, 2013. I will be addressing any issues and having a Physical etc. Please join us for "The ride" and "This Journey!" Will keep you informed.

A Question for you all.....

A Question I put on our Facebook Page.....

Okay so I want to get personal for a minute. Bryan and I want to start our family and have children. We have been trying with no avail and success. I am wondering If i should get me a OB/GYNOCOLOGIST or a OB just to take care of now and over the years my women and female health? a general practice doctor ? or what kind of medical professional should i seek to take care of my needs ? should i get a exam? or you know.... (sorry do not want to get real involved and graphic or upset anyone or offend anyone in anyway).  I have never experienced this before and i need guidance and advice so i can get all in check and healthy to be able to have babies and get to where i need to be to achieve that. I hope i am not being repetitive. Advise please!!!! again please accept my apologies in advance if i offend anyone in anyway.

We want to start our family- We are asking for Prayers.....

Bryan and I have been married for almost 14 MONTHS!!! wow, where did the time go??? only 10 MONTHS till our 2 year anniversary.

In any case we have been trying to conceive for that same period of time as well. 
And so far with no success....
We honestly thought or suspected that these last few weeks and this last month that we had been successful and were pregnant. That thinking was going on till this last Sunday when while at a cousin's missionary farewell and before Sacrament Meeting started I made a stop to the restroom and in doing so.  There it was - It was confirmed that Pregnancy and conception had not occurred.

I do admit I was disappointed and started experiencing feelings of depression, disappointment, feeling that I had once again FAILED and disappointed myself and my wonderful husband. As I know how strong the desire is for me to give birth, conceive, have children and be a mother and the same for my wonderful husband minus the giving birth on "his end"!!!! There is such a strong desire for him to have children and be a father as well.

We now know that this process will not be a "cake walk!", not going to be a breeze or easy, And I just fear that as each month passes and if we are not pregnant the likelihood of it happening get's less and less.


We now come to you..... OUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, and those we LOVE and who are so near and dear to us - We need your help!!!! we know there is not a lot or much you all can do accept offer and give your love, support, and encouragement to us.

And really that is what we need and are asking for.  We ask you our Family and Friends
For your prayers that we will be successful in conceiving, getting pregnant and experiencing pregnancy and childbirth. That nothing will stand in our way and prevent us from achieving this desire and goal.

Your love and support is greatly appreciated.....

Dream i had while taking a nap.... Hope it is not a indicator of what will happen to me in one sense....

I was taking a nap earlier this evening. And I had a dream kind of a weird one of sorts however right before I woke up well I should say it was ending as I was waking up. Anyhow, I do not know how many of you watch the young and the restless and who are familiar with the characters.

But, this dream was set in a Airport and I was there and so was Cane and Lily (from Young and the restless), Victoria (from young and the restless), me, and this sweet but, random girl who I guess works at the airport or something. This random lady has really been wanting to have children or a child but, has been unsuccessful - and I liken it to me who has so far been unsuccessful and so is Victoria on the young and the restless.  Anyhow in this dream when it was ending News came out that Cane and Lily were expecting and they were so excited and so was this random lady. Come to find out that Lily is this ladies surrogate., Then Victoria comes out and proclaims "Well, God still don't want and can't allow me to have children. "

 as of course she had just found out she was and is not pregnant.  That is right when I wake up!!! It got me thinking.... "Oh, no I really hope what Victoria is going through and experiencing is not going to be me and what I am experiencing." I hope that is not my fate and experience and outcome.

I much rather and hope and pray for "The Cane and Lily outcome and that of mystery lady!"

Sorry I know this is random and weird. Just want to express my feelings.

We are trying to start our family....

I want this blog to be a place where we can share with all of you (our friends, family and everyone) our Journey to becoming parents. We would like to share personal feelings, stories (where applicable), fears, and other emotions on this "journey" and "roller-coaster!"

The only thing we ask is that you keep comments positive - NOT NEGATIVE (no rude or negative or rude comments) as such will not be accepted and WILL BE DELETED. As such conduct is not included and apart of our purpose and cause.


Anyhow that being said....  like many of you know we have been married for just about 13 months and have been trying to get pregnant and start our family yet, have not been successful. We are always hopeful and optimistic every month.  Although I do have to admit that my Dear husband has most of the time has MORE FAITH than I do. He does not get discouraged or frustrated (it don't seem) as easy as I do. 

With me I get frustrated, discouraged, and start having and experiencing feelings of hopelessness and wondering what is the matter with me.  He always seems to be reminding me to "Go by faith!" he would say "Honey, everything will work out in due time. I know how much you want us to have a baby and be a mother., and to "GO BY FAITH!" "

I am so glad I have such a faithful and loving and Paitent husband who is Paitent and brings me back to "reality!" and calms me when I am fearful, worry some, and go through my range of emotions.


We really have the strong desire to have and be able to bring and give birth (me giving birth, carrying our own children) and bringing them into this world.

We have also discussed briefly not to much really in detail the options of Adoption, Surrogacy and other forms and methods.

Honestly I am not sure how I feel about those other ways. Haven't really thought about it.

Trying to start our family.....

So Bryan and I have been married exactly 362 DAYS (3 days shy of our 1 year anniversary). We really want to start our family. You know i always thought that by the time i was married a year that i would at least be Pregnant if not already have had our first child. But, at least Pregnant right. But, no such luck. Hopefully i am able to concieve, get pregnant and carry a child and be able to experience and have and be blessed with the blessing and opportunity of bringing a child into this world and giving birth.

We are just hoping and praying that there is not anything medically or physically wrong that prevents me from doing so or anything that prevents either one of us.

So i am working on getting into better shape, and I have even started taking supplements and such to hopefully help the process.

The one i really like and i am trying to take "Faithfully" is called Fertility blend and that helps or is supposed to help with your reproductive health. We will keep you posted.

We also really would love and appreciate your encouragement, love, support, and prayers that we will be able to get pregnant and start our family soon.

Natural Fertility- "Fertility Long Island"

This article is courtesy and posted by my Friend Olga. You can see the full article and articles like this at www.fertilitylongisland.com/infertility_and_mfr

Infertility and MFR

MFR has been shown to improve natural fertility rates, increase IVF pregnancy rates, and open blocked fallopian tubes, safely, and effectively.
It is estimated that a large number of women experience infertility as a result of fascial restrictions from surgery (scar tissue and adhesions), endometriosis or inflammatory processes.
In addition, because the fascia surrounds every system of the body, including the endocrine system, fertility problems related to hormone imbalances have also been helped with MFR.
By releasing fascial restrictions within and around the female reproductive organs, you will allow the structures to function the way they are supposed to, and give the best chances of conceiving naturally, or allowing for IVF to work.  By freeing the body of fascial restrictions, you will also create a healthy environment for the baby to grow, and also make the delivery easier for the mother and baby.

CHECK UP....

So we have been back in Utah to live for a few days (almost a week). And the other day we were talking and some how the subject came up about and of Bryan and I being able to conceive a baby. Which led to the following., Something in my dad's head "sparked" and he get's on the phone trying to find a Woman Doctor or a GYNECOLOGIST/ AND OR OB/GYN for me to go see to "get things on the road" so we can hopefully have us some babies. So the end result and Update is: On April 30th at 1:30 PM I am going to see a DR and have a Physical at a Woman General medicine/practice doctor. Dr. Lisa Kuhahara (hope I spelled her name right) she also is one of my dad's doctors. And I will be getting a physical and I will be proceeding from there as far as finding me a OB/GYN. So we would ask for Prayers, and good vibes and support from you all for these next few weeks and a month- month in a half and that when I go to the Doctor and have my appointment the appointment can and will go well and everything will come out normal and we can be on our way to having babies and starting our family.

We want to start a Family of our own.....

So we have been married for 9 Months and 2 days and we really want to have a family. We have been trying and with no success yet! we fear (mostly i fear) that We won't be able to concieve and i won't be able to bare my sweetheart children. And do as a woman the one thing (or one of the things) I able to achieve and accomplish what i have put here on this earth to do. And that is have children and bear children. We really need and would appreciate Prayers and your love and support as friends and family. We of course will keep trying and hope we will be successful one day or should i say someday.
