Excerpt from Why Ashley Took Time to Prepare for Pregnancy
Read Ashley’s Full Story Here…
I had my first child with no issues, I thought I was ovulating and immediately got pregnant that try. Once my son turned one we decided to start trying again. Month after month, frustrated and upset I’d discover I wasn’t pregnant.
Finally after 8 long months, I got the great news in Feb. 2015 that I was pregnant! At around 7.5 weeks I started spotting and found myself getting an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed the fetal sac at about 5.5 weeks, not the 8 we had expected. That night I started miscarrying.
I had done a lot of researching during the days I was miscarrying on whether I could have done something differently or if there was any way I could have prevented this. After all, it took us a long time to get to this pregnancy only to end so quickly! My searching led me to the Natural Fertility Info site. I read several articles on this site and then determined that my husband and I were both going to do a fertility cleanse.
Update 3/1/2015: I am happy to announce my sweet baby girl is 3 weeks old and couldn’t be more perfect 😉
