Michelle answers:
I had a look at your other questions and it seem like you are actually collecting information on natural products.
What were you actually diagnosed with? Herbs and similar are MEDICAMENTS and no “one-fixes-all” solutions. And forget the idea that natural==harmless!
You should try to eat healthy unprocessed food and practice sport moderately but regularly.
Apart from that, nature knows no shortcuts: if you are healthy and have sex on the fertile days odds are 1:3 pr even 1:4 that you conceive!
Taking supplements at random, just because they worked for somebody else will not necessarily help you. Actually chances are good you’ll finally screw up your hormones by taking something you do not need.
George asks…
my boyfriends sister is jelouse of my pregnancy?
it is very sad that she cannot concieve the natural way and had attempted 3 IVF treatments all have failed.
i had only been with my boyfriend for a month and fell pregnant straight away.
she looks misserable everytime im around her and i havnt had one congratulations from her.
the only coments she makes are how mis-behaved the baby is going to be and how my boyfriend isnt going to cope. she has planned a long trip away a week before my baby is due.
i can see its hurting my boyfriend.
what can i do?
Michelle answers:
She is just hurting,for those of us who can get pregnant easily it is impossible to understand the feelings of women who are struggling for the one thing that we can have with so little effort,it isn’t nice of her to say your baby will be misbehaved or that your boyfriend wont cope but jealousy can make people act in terrible ways.
Of course it isn’t your fault but you do need to try to understand a bit,she has booked this trip to save herself the pain of a baby being born around her,not to spite you or your boyfriend and you can’t really expect her to be happy around you when inside she is screaming ‘why can’t it be me?’
Her comments are uncalled for but her attitude is perfectly understandable given the circumstances,maybe you or your boyfriend should talk to her and explain that you know she is hurting but that he is hurting too because he loves his sister and needs her around during this big change in his life.
Don’t expect too much though,she might not be able to cope with it and if that is the case all you can do is enjoy your pregnancy and baby together and with other family members and friends.

question for “pro lifers”?
if you wanted a child and found that you could not have one by natural means would you:
A. try IVF
B. opt for surrogacy
C. get on that adoption waiting list for that perfect, blonde, blue eyed caucasian infant
D. adopt a foster kid
most ‘pro lifers’ i’ve met are racist.
every ‘pro life’ propaganda poster i’ve ever seen depicts a white baby.

follow that link for a look at a ‘choose life’ poster and tell me what you see.
Michelle answers:
My husband and I adopted in a heartbeat. There are so many children without parents that live in orphanages that I think it would be the height of hubris for adoptive parents only want a caucasian. My husband and I were not ever able to have our own children and we felt that God was leading us in a different direction so I am proud to say we have the following: 29y/o Russian son named Alexei, 27y/o Arab daughter named Aaliyah, 26y/o African daughter named Ashanti, 23y/o Japanese daughter named Akira, our 22y/o son from Spain named Antonio, and our last son from Greece 21y/o Andreas. We adopted all of these children from different orphanages when the earliest age we could adopt was 1y/o and our eldest son was 7y/o when we were allowed to adopt him. You will notice we are heavy on the “A” names but that is because we really wanted to name each child “Angel” because of the love and life we have all had together. I stopped seeing them as any nationality once we met each one and fell in love. I have been so blessed to have my 6 children! I have no reservations if one of my children wanted to adopt rather than have their own birth child. I just want some grandchildren – soon! I cannot wait to see the next generation of “Angels”!
Donald asks…
Normal but slow rising HCG?
I am currently pregnant – 6 weeks & 2 days. This comes as a total surprise because I’m 40 AND I was told that I would likely never have kids the natural way (I have 2 boys from IVF).
Problem is that I know enough to be dangerous and am concerned about my HCG levels. They are in the normal levels for the week(s) I am pregnant but not rising appropriately….
Test 1, 4 wks, 6 days = 2927
Test 2, 5 wks, 3 days = 4011 (nowhere near doubling after 4 days)
Test 3, 5 wks, 5 days = 4887 (again, not even close to doubling)
They checked my progesterone with the 2nd hcg test and it was good at 20.35. I’m anxiously waiting for an u/s which won’t likely happen until next week or the week after. With my boys, my HCG levels were checked so early that the numbers were generally only double-digits but I think they doubled that early on. And I know that not everyone responds as typical/normal. I’m experiencing pg symptoms (fuller abdomen, breasts & exhaustion) and no signs of m/c.
Has this turned out well/positive for anyone? I’m trying to be +++ because I know there is nothing I can do until I have the u/s……..
Michelle answers:
Hi.. Congratulations on your pregnancy, I’ve 2 children from Ivf, I’m 42 now and I’ll be honest your scenario has put the fear of God into me! Lol.
This is what I’ve researched for you..
Caution must be used in making too much of hCG numbers. A normal pregnancy may have low hCG levels and result in a perfectly healthy baby. The results from an ultrasound after 5 – 6 weeks gestation are much more accurate than using hCG numbers.
5 weeks LMP: 18 – 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 – 56,500 mIU/ml
There would be no doubt in my mind that you know the above, but the numbers would indicate your ok.
I’m off to find condoms… On the rare chance it could happen to me!
Very best of luck. X
