The Natural Fertility Community

Hey all,
Like many of you, I often come to the forums and look around for posts that might pertain to my story in the hopes I will come across someone who has had some sort of success. We all want to know that the things we are trying from NFI.com might help us too. While I know every person's body is different, I wanted to share with you my small success in the hopes it may help someone else. That and I'm just plain impressed to be seeing positive results so quickly. I have always had a regular cycle be it a bit long. I usually told the DR when asked, I have a 31 day cycle. But I never counted the 3-5 days of on and off again spotting I would get. In reality if you counted the spotting days I could easily have a 8-12 day period or more. I did the Fertility Cleanse in June. I wrote to Dalene asking if doing the Cleanse could cause a delay getting my next period. I was about a week late. But just a day or two later I got my period. And I mean the real deal. No spotting. None. I got it on day 1 it was gone 5 days later. That had to be the best and shortest period I have had since I was a tween. Not wanting to jump the gun I waited for my next period. And just as before, it was about a 40 day cycle but it started on the first day and lasted only about 5 days. No spotting. That to me is impressive in itself. After the Cleanse, I started taking Pregnancy Prep and Zymessence. My main goals have been to do the Cleanse to rid my body of all the excess hormones my body had to be storing from months and months of infertility medications, balance my hormones to create a friendly environment for baby and take the Zymessence so that when I am successful getting pregnant again I might not have another miscarriage. I have had 9. My hope is that with continued use these herbal supplements will continue to balance my hormones and my cycle will get shorter and closer to something resembling normal. Than my husband and I will try again! I may not post much, but I read your posts regularly and you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks again Dalene and Hethir for all that you do. Any suggestions on how I can shorten that cycle of mine would be greatly appreciated. mstross, MN

Thank you so much for sharing.

I am probably one of the biggest skeptics in the world. Probably because most things don't work for me especially herbs. I must say that I was amazed at how quickly the massage and castor oil pack worked for me. I had been doing them only 2 1/2 weeks prior to this cycle and taking Zymessence only 3 days prior and no cramping or clotting. If I did have some it was too minor to talk about. I normally have 2 days of miserable uncomfortable cramping and clotting, but this was totally different. I actually keep waiting to feel something because I am just too surprised that something worked and so soon. I do have the cleanse and can't wait to use it. I did 4 IVF cycles and in need of some cleansing.

Elyah,
That's fantastic to hear! I wish you the best and hope everything works out for you on your next try. I was told that everything science had to offer me at this time had been tried and unsuccessful, that there was just nothing more the Dr's could do for me. I was devastated to say the least. I have had many miscarriages. Since the Dr's could not tell me definitively whether it is the fault of my uterus being hostile or my eggs being defective, IVF would be a very expensive 50/50 gamble. If I tried IFV with donor eggs and they implanted and it turned out my uterus was the cause..... If I used my eggs and a surrogate and my eggs were bad.... I don't know if you are in the USA but just about every clinic in our area (Minnesota) offers a money back guarantee IVF program. You get a portion of your money back if the IVF is unsuccessful. Which would be great because I could at least try. However, if you have a history of miscarriage you are not eligible for that program. So with the help of my wonderful cousin I found this site. I work in the medical industry so I was about as skeptical as they come but with having nothing to lose and the blessing of my Dr (how many people can say that?!) I went out of my comfort zone and ordered the Cleanse, the Pregnancy Prep and Zymessence. I will get the egg health kit next. So far I have been pleasantly surprised and have renewed hope. For me, I could not thank Dalene and Hethir enough. I am determined to someday add my success story to their testimonial link! Take care, mstross

Hey ladies!,

Thanks for posting how you are doing and the results you are achieving, even if they are suttle and small it is great news.

mstross, how long have you been taking the Pregnancy Prep?

I passed this thread on to Hethir, I am sure she will love to read it.

Thank you both for sharing your stories and successes with everyone here. I am so happy to hear from the both of you and can't wait to hear your success stories! Keep us updated.

Hey Dalene,
I started both the Pregnancy Prep and the Zymessence right after I finished the Cleanse. I have only been taking it for a little over two months now (2 cycles have past since the Cleanse). So to see the spotting stop with my first cycle after the Cleanse and then continue with my second cycle is just amazing to me. The cycles are longer but I plan on continuing the use of the Pregnancy Prep and Zymessence and will wait and see if they shorten with prolonged use. Thanks for your concern I will keep you all posted! mstross

mstross,
Thanks so much for sharing! Looking forward to hearing more.
