Today I want to introduce you to a fellow aussie who goes by the name of hayleylou on Squidoo.
Hayley is a wife and busy mother of two active boys, but still finds time to write for Squidoo and maintain a blog Mom Is Blogging.
For the last 18 months Hayley has been trying to get pregnant again. While she had no problem conceiving her first two children, this time is another story. Through a series of lenses, (pages) she has traced her journey through the steps she has taken to increase her chances of getting pregnant, and faced the disappointment as each month shows a negative result.
In Tips To Getting Pregnant Hayley talks about her first visits to her GP and later referral to a fertility specialist. All the steps, from learning about ovulation and the fact that she has irregular cycles and didn't even ovulate every month, to taking clomid for ovulation induction are detailed here. There are links to her other pages about determining baby gender, artificial insemination treatments, gonal f injections, and other aspects of her experiences. Currently Hayley is taking a break from all this somewhat clinical attempt to fall pregnant and is now trying natural fertility methods.
Although she has obviously done plenty of research of her own, she writes only as a woman telling her, often moving, story of her attempts to conceive and the affects it has had on her life.
I'd like to wish Hayley all the best in her attempts. Perhaps taking the pressure off is all that is needed. I hope her story will help others who have problems getting pregnant, understand the processes involved.
