Once Upon A Time...

Once upon a time, I was a girl just like you. I had a lot of love to give, but was surprised to find out that you didn't .... POOF! .... become pregnant just like that. I imagined, since I knew my cycles and everything, it would just be a matter of doing the baby dance during that special week, then I'd take the test the following week and tell all my friends that I was about to become a proud mommy. I honestly never entertained the possibility that I could have some impedance to my pregnancy.

For months, I was still in denial, thinking it would just magically happen one of these times. We tried having sex every other day, thinking maybe I just miscalculated somehow. Every time my "friend" came, I cursed to high heaven.

I talked to my OBGYN about it and he ran a few tests... come to find out, I was not producing eggs! What the hell? So he put me on Clomid, which he said helps a lot of women. I read up on it before I took it... and started to panic... there was like a 6.9 % chance of having twins. I didn't want to be like Octo-Mom! Well, whatever... what will be will be, I finally conceded. I needed to have children. My husband wants them. I want them.

Unfortunately, about a week in, I was suffering. My stomach felt cramped constantly... I had the worst migraines ever and felt dizzy a lot... I was hot, crabby, nauseous. What WAS this Devil's potion my doctor gave me? I guess Clomid isn't known to give people fertility treatment side effects all the time, but it was kicking my ass. The doctor suggested I try HCG to help control my hormones, which seemed to be going insane. I was tired, bitchy and uncomfortable.

I came across this video online and wanted to know more...


Fertibella is a non-invasive fertility treatment that involves taking a daily supplement with a meal once a day for as long as it takes. They were offering a free 30-day trial for $5.95 shipping. If I wanted to keep the two-month supply, they would charge me $79.90 for the next two months' supply. Each kit comes with 2 Pill Bottles, 10 Free Ovulation Tests and 10 Pregnancy Tests. I figured it sounded like a great deal. After all, I paid $100 for a month of Clomid and $50/month for the HCG. Fertility treatments are not cheap! But what price can you put on achieving a pregnancy, if it all works? "If" is the key word, I know, but I was willing to give Fertibella a shot, since I read forums that said women didn't have side effects with Fertibella.
