Introduction
I did have a time-frame where I was a bit addicted to Midol. Unfortunately this went on for a few months, where the caffeine in Midol gave me energy. I was also addicted to Exedrin for quite some time. It has now been nearly 9 months since I have taken any of these pills for pain. (I did take 2 Ibuprofen on one incident when I had a very bad headache, and another time I took 1 Ibuprofen due to headache as well. Other than that I have not taken any aspirin etc). A year ago I was treated by a Chiropractor for Vertebrael (sp) Subluxation. I received extensive treatment for a year and a half. He did say something that this should help with straightening out my hormones. Last months chart indicated I may not have a long enough Luteal Phase. Am looking into that further.

Tests, Procedures, Medical consultations
I have not talked to any heath care professional regarding our lack of conception.

Trying-to-Conceive (TTC) experience
My husband and I have been TTC for about 20 months now. We have been married for 3 1/2 years but during the first 2 years we didn't even try conceiving. We decided to try at the beginning of last year in hopes that it would happen immediately. Friend after friend of ours have been successful since then and it has been nearly heartbreaking to say the least. I have extremely regular menstrual cycles so this has been quite difficult for me to grasp. It has effected me in many ways as I feel a little less of a woman without having a child (at least one) but overall my husband has been very understanding is willing to help with this as much as possible. I started an extensive dieting program to get my weight down to where it should be. Within two months I should be right down at the proper weight.

Charting Experience
I haven't really done a lot of charting. I tried when we first started TTC but gave up after a couple months. I was getting way too discouraged and eventually just stopped even tracking anything. Last month I charted and got my hopes up so much I truly thought I had succeeded in pregnancy...however, it was not so. Charting has helped me to understand my body better and am very glad to have started tracking it.

The Internet
There is so much information out there it is so hard to describe one detail. With conflicting data I found myself getting discouraged too much so I had to just chart and leave it be.

Other Thoughts?
I really believe that charting by using this program will help me conceive within the next 3 months. I am taking all the actions I need to to make this possible and I believe that with God ALL things are possible!! I will continue charting until that conception takes place!
