Hiyas, if I join in Facebook, my mum will be ON TO IT that I'm talking to people about kids. I just can't risk it as there is a LOT of pressure here. I'm actually the oldest daughter of 7 kids including cousins, and I don't have any kids and have not shown any outward interest about TTC. together for 15yrs, career, house, but not kids. But if you make something super private on Facebook, I'll look it up. Can you not name it anything kid related? Coz I do think that's actually a great idea.
So I went to the doc. Actually she is an ... academic I think is the best way to describe her role? She is a fertility specialist, who currently writes research, conducts seminars, is highly regarded in the field, has a PhD in natural fertility, trains medical practitioners, the list goes on. She used to be a midwife, and also worked as a GP (medical practitioner) herself. I'm in looooove with her knowledge and passion for it. She was able to clear up myths (that I read here on the forum!), answered all my questions with relevant research, and was just plain lovely! She showed me a new way to chart, which is faaaaaaar more accurate than ANY app or Opk, and how to time intercourse. She also told me that it's encouraged to do exercise whilst pregnant (hanks girls for opening up that question), explained conception in a way that I've never read anywhere and just...is...amazing. Private message me for her details. She does Skype lessons if you need - on using the natural method for both conception, and also contraception. She shared some interesting info on CP's and OPk. I'm seeing her monthly to best understand my cycles, what to look for, how to know if stress is impacting on my cycle, etc etc etc. although I went in there thinking it was for a blood test and general discussion, I came out feeling empowered. I totally recommend her. And I'm on my first cycle TTC!
