Women's Health Revolution

A little while ago, I posted about the need for a cure for infertility. I also have talked here about the method we are choosing to pursue. I know I've been slow to provide more information on both of these areas, but I want to do that. I think this is important and needs to be shared a million times over. Women across our country need to know there is another way.

We have chosen to follow the Creighton Model Method and be seen by an OB/GYN who practices NaProTechnology (despite the travel required.) If you thought I was crunchy before then you might think I'm off my rocker. I'm all the time finding natural alternatives. I'm not a hippy like my husband thinks. I'm practical and logical, and I try to be best educated on the matters that I'm pursuing. The same holds true in the matter of becoming a parent.

So I did all the research possible and as mentioned on a previous post, took an appointment with someone new. Also, previously discussed, NaProTechnology is a form of women's health that is two-fold. You become educated in the area of women's health and see a physician who is more educated and aware in their area of specialty than the vast majority in their field.

So I have been seeing Mary Vozar at Fertility for Life right here in Clarksville. She is a skilled nurse and has been led by God to advocate for and educate women in an area most crucial to them, their reproductive health. She teaches the use and practice of the Creighton Model Method and lends her support and prayer for the women she is working with. From the moment I met her I could tell that she is prayerful and obedient in what God has called her to. What a blessing to have her on my side and to have been led to her! I have been learning about the inner workings of the female reproductive system, the complexity that is involved, and the true miracle that creating life is. The details go far beyond anything ever learned in a biology lecture hall or sex ed course. It is amazing what we can learn from our bodies when we choose to pay attention. Through the use of this method we can know when we can and can't get pregnant, when we are beginning menopause, and when something major (like cancer) could be a concern. It is empowering and inspiring.

Since seeing Nurse Mary, as I like to call her, I have learned that I do indeed ovulate most likely every month. A normal fertile female can have a cycle where she might not ovulate due to stress or other life events so I will not say always. It would be difficult for anyone to say they always ovulate, but I do in fact ovulate. Instead, I have a hormonal issue going on. These key indicators of my fertility status were easily identifiable after a month on the Creighton Model. 

We have taken these indicators to Dr. Gray at the Women's Clinic in Jackson, TN. He is my new OB/GYN and what another blessing I have found in him. He is caring and detailed, not quick to assume but thorough in his diagnosis and treatment of patients. He is also another heart after God. I am currently working with him on some more testing (I didn't say we took the medicine out of this more natural approach) to see if we can pinpoint the precise issues with my hormones and hopefully disprove my PCOS diagnosis. My testing will include blood work, ultrasounds, and a small biopsy. These testing methods provide for the most information with minimal discomfort. They will all be completed in the next few weeks, and we should be ready to start treatments in July!!! You guessed it folks, right in time to get fertile before Mike redeploys (civi-talk: comes homes from deployment.) We have been told already that there is confidence in a successful pregnancy in our near future.

I think this method and practice of women's health care is amazing and exactly what women need. They need support for their bodies, their minds and their spirit. NaProTechonology is so incredibly advanced and should be available everywhere. We need more doctors to sign on with a commitment to their field of study that goes beyond the status quo. We need to spread the word about NaProTechnology and restore the confidence women should have in their OB/GYNs. We need a NaProRevolution so that women can learn there are individual cures for their infertility that are obtainable today.
