When it comes to getting pregnant, often for many women trying to conceive is much more difficult than for the average couple. Sometimes women may think that it is just a matter of throwing out the birth control and they will conceive in a matter of months but they may be in for a surprise. My husband and I were one of these couples…we thought that it would only be a matter of months before we could start telling people that we were expecting.
It was not to be. After over a year of trying we ended up seeing a fertility specialist who diagnosed me with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). Once he put me on meds, he also suggested that I track my ovulation by taking my daily temperature first thing in the morning. This worked for a while however often I would forget which meant that I never really knew when I was ovulating. I finally broke down and bought the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor which meant worry-free tracking. After only a few months of using the monitor along with using Metformin, we were finally able to conceive. I am so thankful that we finally bought the monitor.
