My Fertility Journey

“At a loss, I went searching for more answers.” Continued…(For part 1 please read “Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness“) At a loss, I went searching for more answers. I had already been learning from a book called “Taking Charge of your Fertility” but decided to take it more seriously and start charting and taking my temp to try and understand my body and what was going on with it. A friend recommended the Tempdrop.

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

“What made you decide you wanted to live plural marriage?”

We all knew that communication was needed to help us through our struggles. We still had to figure out how to do that, how to understand each other, since we all had different communication styles, as well as different personalities.
