Fertility Bracelet?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever used a fertility Bracelet? some say it's hooey others swear by it. I just purchased one-I figure it can't hurt. My DH and I have been trying for a while with no luck. Of course it doesn't help that my cycles have NEVER been normal. I can go months without a period and have tried bc but that just makes the whole cycle go wacko. I am doing alot of praying but found the site on etsy.com for Artsy Chicas fertility bracelets, so I figured why not? Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else has heard of them.

I also just read about St. Gerard the patron saint of women who are struggling to conceive.

Yes, I have heard of them and considered getting one for myself..We tried over a year to get pregnant so at the end we were trying anything to get pregnant...We were put on fertility meds but what also helped us a lot was using OPK strips...not sure if your familiar with them but you can get 100 on ebay for about $5.00, you just pee on them and they tell you if your close to ovulation...I started about 7 days after my period started and used one everytime I went to the bathroom...then you get a good idea of when and if your ovulating...they are wonderful and highly recommended for anyone trying to get pregnant...also I highly recommend Pre-seed, it is a lubricant that helps semen get closer to your eggs..it is the only lubricant that is safe to use while trying to get pregnant..I tried it for 2 months and it worked!! If these things don't work I would suggest talking to your OB and asking if there is some medication you can take that will help you ovulate...I was on Femara, I had zero side effects and it was very simple to use and obviously worked...best of luck to you and I hope you get pregnant very soon!!!

I havent heard of them, but I did use sea bands when I was pregnany - they sat on pressure points on your wrist and really did ease my nausea. I've also had a complete cure from sciatica and a dead, heavy leg that I had for 2 entire years from acupuncture, and have just come through half of my chemoradiation with the aide of acupuncture WITHOUT vomiting, nausea or hairloss. I really believe there's real basis to these sorts of things and I also believe that the postiive mental attitute they help you to attain works miracles.

Good luck!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
