Life in my Eyes

Yesterday was CD 1 month 2 for me in my TTC journey. I am beyond excited about trying to have another child. Last month was the most stressful month because I did not ovulate. When you do not ovulate in a cycle that is called an Anovulatory cycle. This means you did not ovulate and therefore there is not luteal phase so pregnancy cannot happen. I will track this cycle and the next few cycle to check for ovulation while TTC. If I am not ovulation then I will go to the doctors and get a check-up. I am part of a wonderful site called Fertility Friend. It is a wonderful site that I have actively used since the birth of my son. I am very in tune with my body and ovulate regularly normally. The site though, is amazing because there is so much support. So I highly recommend this site to others TTC or in need of support. TTC can be a very frustrating time for a woman so information and support is well needed during this time. This year I was going to run for Mrs. Arizona and I really wanted to have a platform for this pageant for my own ambitions. The platform I really wanted to promote was infertility. I wanted to include insurance and health care in my platform. I feel that infertility takes the back seat when it comes to health care. Did you know that according to National Women's Health Resource Center approximately 6.1 million couples in the United States, or 10 percent of all couples of childbearing age, have difficulty conceiving. In my own opinion the public needs to become more aware of infertility. Unfortunately, I did not get to compete in Mrs. Arizona this year due to PCSing, but someday once I have finished my medical degree I will be a promoter for my platform.
