Every lady needs to understand how her body works!

It's so important to know how your body works and what it is doing.

I went and got my nails done during my lunch break today. The lady that was doing my nails was asking me if I was married, had kids, etc. I asked her if she was married, had kids, etc. And then something told me to ask her if she's trying for kids even though I know that it can be pretty rude. I wasn't rude though. She said that she has been trying for 5 years. She's from Vietnam (aren't they all? ). Poor thing, I could just hear the heartache in her voice when she was telling me. We talked a lot about it, she had a failed invitro in vietnam and is going to have invitro done again here in the states. I noticed that she wasn't all that educated on how the female body works and asked her if her doctors had her temping to see exactly when she ovulates, how long her luteal phase is, etc. She didn't know anything about this stuff. She said she ovulates on the 14th day of her cycle because that is what her doctor told her. Not every woman ovulates on the 14th day, WTF? So without even temping and crap the doctors are doing invitro?!?! At the very least, they should have had her temping for a few months to see what her cycles are like.

I told her how important it was for her to understand how her body works because not every female is the same. And, just because she gets a period doesn't mean she is ovulating every month and not every woman ovulates on the 14th day. She was telling me about her friend that is about to have a baby and how she is happy for her friend but that she is so sad for herself

I told her I was going to drop off my Taking Charge Of Your Fertility book tomorrow and made her promise me that she would read it and understand how her body is working. She was so happy and said that she was very excited to read it because basically her doctors didn't really give her the time of day. She has a very heavy accent and it takes her a while to understand things if you aren't talking clear and slow. I really hope that she gets pregnant soon, she wants it so bad. I hope the book helps her, even if she doesn't get pregnant after reading it, I hope it helps her understand what her body is doing every month.

Anyways, I felt like sharing with you guys because I feel like I met her for a reason, for some reason. I hope her dreams of being a mommy come true. My heart hurts for her :sad: :sad: :sad:
