Thanks be to God and Praise God Alleluia!
Finally, I have BFP after trying to conceive for 2 years plus. No words can express my feelings. I have tried so many things to improve my fertility, from charting to supplements and even acupuncture but every month just ended with disappoinment. I know and I understand how does it feels like when everyone asking when are you planning for a family or how painful it is to see our others getting pregnant in just months after wedding. 2 years plus might not be long but the disappinment for over 30 cycles are really exhausted.
I have been sharing my good news to some of my friends and family and I realised that there are really a lot of couples facing the same problems. To get pregnant is not really easy, imagine the precious egg just live up to 24 hours on each cycle.
I wish to share what I did differently this cycle. The only thing that I did differently is consume the milk powder from the Milk Grotto. Two of my lovely church member brought back this Holy milk powder from Bethlehem for both my husband and I to consume. This is actually the rock powder from a place called Milk grotto in Bethlehem. It is said to have helped thousands of couples to conceived. It is called milk powder because, the whole cave turned into white after a drop of milk of our Holy Mother Mary when she is nursing baby Jesus at that time. This place now has become one of the famous pilgrimage spot in Holy Land. There is also petitions box for prayer request. Thanks to my church member who remembered me and put both my husband and my name there for prayer. I believed the prayer has helped me to conceived. Thank you mama Mary for your intercession, my prayers answered immediately!
Both my husband and I consume the milk powder right after they reached home and it is about a week since they went to the Milk Grotto. Another week, I got a BFP when I tested on Mothers day! I thought it would be another disaapointing month because I feel the menstrual cramps for few days like I used before. I even cried on few days before I tested because I thought I didnt conceived on that month. We are supposed to follow the charting of the BOM NFP method which I observed that our best time to conceived is the day of Easter. Well we missed it but managed to did it after Easter. I really thought that this month is the impossible month as my husband was preparing for his baptism on Easter Vigil. Well, maybe things come when it is least expected as what people said.
I would also like to share some of the tips to boost the fertility or increase the chance of getting pregnant.
1) Understand your body
Highly recommend BOM (Billings Ovulation Method). The rythm method that we used to calculated based on average cycle are not so accurate. I suggest every couple must attend this one day course. In Catholic course, every couple will need to attend this course as one of the lesson in the mariage course. I missed this and I also tried for this method, the third month I conceived. This method can be used for irregular cycles and accuracy for the estimation of ovulation is >90%. This method gives you a simple science explanation on how our reproductive system works and both you and your husband are able to understand more. You can find the nearest catholic church and ask the office about this, they have BOM teachers and it's free. Or you can locate the nearest hospital, some country does provide this course.
2) Take supplements and vitamins for both husband and wife
For Her: Folic Acid, Royal Jelly, calcium
For Him: Folic Acid, Zinc, calcium
Royal Jelly is highly recommended because it helps to improve the quantity and quality of teh cervical mucus. Cervical mucus can help the sperms to swim and needed for the sperm to stay longer.
3) Go for a holiday and relax
I have not tried this coz I ahve been too busy but I believed this helped our hormones and body system system to function well
4) Pray and meditate
We must have faith and trust in God. You have done your best, God has a plan for you. Maybe it is not the best time for you to have a child or second child, third child. God knows what is best for us. However, we must not stop asking, instead we must thank Him and praise Him for everything we have.
I hope my blog gives a little help to those who trying to conceive. I wish your prayers will be answered soon. I pray for all of you everyday. Those who wish can giive me both your hudband and your name, so that I can pray specifically for you and lift up your name in my prayers.
God bless you.
