Emotionally Drained...Time To Try Something New

As you've probably guessed, I am not pregnant.  And I haven't felt like posting a new blog.  I know I said I was going to leave everything to God, but I can't help it.  I am emotionally beaten down.  After only 2 cycles back in the game, Kris and I decided to take this month off.  I got to the point that I didn't even want to try ever again.  It should NEVER be this hard for ANY woman to have a baby.  It is our gift, and everyone that wants kids should be able to experience it.

With that said, I've decided to go a different route this upcoming cycle.  A very dear friend of mine works for a local chiropractor.  She was telling me stories she's heard about women struggling to get pregnant.  They did all the fertility treatments and tests and spent tons of money.  Then they started going to a chiropractor and after a couple months, they got pregnant!  There are apparently all kinds of documented links between infertility and chiropractic care.  Here's a website if you'd like to read more about it:

I don't know if this will work for me or not, but I am at the point that I'm ready to explore other options.  At present, it costs us roughly between $600-$700 a cycle for fertility treatments.  My first visit to the chiropractor will cost no more than $25, and other visits won't exceed $89...and that includes any kinds of tests and x-rays they may have to do.  That's a HUGE difference.  The best part is that these are the prices even though I don't have insurance!

My friend said she told the chiropractor she works for about me and he is already making plans for my treatment.  They carry lines of herbal supplements and natural products.  Those can get pricey, I'm sure, but I still will be coming in WAY under what I'm currently spending with my doctor.  My first appointment is in 2 days.  I am currently just past ovulation this cycle so I still have a couple weeks until a new cycle starts.  I figure I might as well start now...hopefully I'll be on the road to a successful cycle!  I'll let you know how my first appointment goes!
