TTC Kit Winner Announced!

I'm so happy to report that Random.org has found a winner for the ConceiveEasy Kit.



The 5th comment was -
After struggling for 3 years to get pregnant with Rylie including one loss along the way, I think I could write a book on all the tricks and treatmegnts I tried along with the emotional rollercoaster you can’t seem to stop. It’s nice to be able to read something that is real and not just a “we thought about it and I got pregnant “story. Thanks for sharing. Infertility can make you feel like you’re the only one because it’s a taboo subject. This kit sounds great and it comes at a perfect time since we are ready to start on baby #2:) It would be great to win, but I will probably try this kit regardless.

Congrats, Rachel Trundle! Message me on facebook or email me with which kit option you want (1,2, or 3) and your shipping address and we'll get it sent to ya.

Thanks for entering all! I wish you all could win.

Trying To Conceive (TTC)?

I never really wrote much about our experiences in trying to get pregnant with Baby #1 who as you know is now lovingly referred to as sweet Baby K! But we didn't just get pregnant exactly when we wanted to. After thinking I was pregnant only to be upset when we found out that I wasn't, Captain J and I realized we wanted to start a family. We wanted little K so very much. We prayed about it. We stopped preventing it and we waited. And we waited.

Every month (or mulitple times a month) when I tested to see if we were expecting, my heart dropped a bit, wondering why it wasn't happening for us. But that's not what this post is about.

My point is- those pregnancy tests and all those ovulation tests can get pricey, can't they? If you're like I was, you have the obsessive need to just know.



I was delighted to see the ConceiveEasy TTC Kit online. Although, we aren't currently actively trying to get pregnant right now, I knew it would come in handy for the future. ConceiveEasy is a natural ingredient supplement designed to enhance the body's fertility by stimulating ovulation. The kit comes with all you'll need for Months 1 & 2. Inside my kit, there were also 10 pregnancy tests and 10 ovulation tests. Both sets of tests were easy to read. And guess what?



They work! As you can see, I'm not pregnant. The only thing I noticed that might be a downside to the pregnancy test is that the result reading could be confused. A "negative" result looks like the "invalid" result depending upon which way you're holding the test in your hand. It's not difficult to figure out, though. You're smart. I know you can do it. ;) I mean, I did! Really, though...everything is user friendly.

The makers of this kit claim your fertility rate can be increased in just 28 days. Users of ConceiveEasy experienced a 33% rise in pregnancy rates! That's encouraging. When you're in the beginning stages of trying to conceive after noticing it's not always as easy as it may seem, you'll try almost anything, right? I remember positioning myself in bed with my legs propped up (ha). I remember reading book after book on fertility practices. Too bad I didn't know about this product before! Anyway, I'm going to tuck this little jewel in my medicine cabinet
for a rainy day
for next time we decide we want to add to our family. I think it will be useful for me.

Click here to view a success story! Just warms my heart :) I know that infertility issues are very delicate to discuss and deal with. I caught a small glimpse of that in the many months it took for us to get pregnant with Baby K. When I was approached to host a giveaway for FertiBella, I was anxious to do so. Extra pregnancy and ovulation tests can't hurt, can they?



Do you want one? I'm giving one kit away. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post letting me know you're interested and I'll throw your name in a hat (read: I'll add your comment number to random.org). This giveaway ends on January 12, 2012 so comment soon! The winner will receive a starter package with the choice of one of the following:

  • Bonus gift #1: 20 Early Result Pregnancy Tests

  • Bonus gift #2: 20 One-Step Ovulation Tests

  • Bonus gift #3: 10 Pregnancy & 10 Ovulation Tests

(Note: I received compensation and samples for completing this review and giveaway. That being said, I do not post opinions that are not my own. I have used parts of the above mentioned product and all opinions are my own and may differ from yours.)

a Christmas blessing

After many, many negative pregnancy tests this year, I'm happy to report that I'm looking at three, wonderfully positive ones. Can you believe it? Captain J and I will be parents. I can't describe how happy this makes me. I wake up every morning and remember all over again. It brings a smile to my face (and sometimes some not so happy faces as I have experienced a little sickness but not much). Perhaps I'm premature in announcing this, but I'm just so elated. I have gone back and forth debating on whether I should talk about my experiences in TTC (trying to conceive) on this blog and with friends and family. For the most part, I kept my worries to myself and didn't express anything of the sort here or elsewhere. There were months of thinking, "I wonder if something is wrong with me physically", "I wonder if God doesn't see me as a fit parent", etc. Captain J and I tried our best to keep positive attitudes, repeating to ourselves that God would bless us when we were ready.

I'm grateful that the time has come for this blessing. We've prayed a lot for this life inside me and I have no doubt that it came at the right time. After all- our furniture hasn't shown up yet so that will be a lot of boxes, chairs, and other household goods that I won't have to move around when they finally do. ;) J is babying me already and I'm just going to soak it all up!

We notified J's parents first because we would be making them grandparents for the first time. Very excited exchanges evolved from that conversation as you can imagine. Then we were off to talk to my blended family: Mom & Joe and Dad & Julie. It feels so amazing to know that this baby will be so loved by many people.

I should have more of an update next week after a visit to Doc.

What a wonderful Christmas blessing. Thanks be to God!
