I am writing to thank you for all your help. I joined Smart Stork to help me conceive my fourth and more than likely last baby. With a girl and two boys all ready, I really wanted my daughter to have a sister. After many unsuccessful attempts to get pregnant, Stacey was so supportive and helpful. I was losing hope that I was ever going to have another baby at all.  I entered my ovulation date in for July and was given a 95% chance of a girl. After an email to Stacey for re-assurance, we went for it. I was thrilled to find out 2 weeks later I was pregnant, and in March 2005 we welcomed our fourth baby, a little girl, into our family. I can't thank you enough for all your help and encouragement.
Sincerely,
Heather


Hi Stacey,

My name is Rebecca and I joined your program earlier this year.  We have two lovely girls and were keen to have a boy, as we have decided this will be our last child (well, one that we plan, anyway!).

I followed the boy diet somewhat, but not entirely.  However we were very strict with the conception dates, that is, we did not try before the dates we were advised.  I also did the bi-carb soda douche and we followed the position instructions........and......we're having a boy!

I can't tell you how delighted we are.  Although a healthy baby is our priority, we are so thrilled to know we are having a boy.  When the sonographer said it was a boy, I yelled out, "I knew it!" (based on the efforts we made combined with a gut feel).  Another interesting thing to note is that we conceived first month of trying.

I could go on and on about how excited we are, but I'm sure you have heard it all before!  Thank you so much for your advice and support.  I particularly like that your program offers a few different methods (diet, positions, douching, dates, etc) that combine well to increase your chances in gender selection.  I will be in contact when the baby is born.

Many thanks,
Rebecca.


Smart Stork,

 

I just wanted you to know that we are having a girl! Just what we wanted. Thank you so much for Smart Storks' input into this. On the day that I ovulated Smart Stork said 98% chance of girl. We did it that day. Less than 3 weeks later we found out that we were pregnant!!! I am now 28 weeks pregnant and three ultrasounds say GIRL!!! I am due September 21st 2005.  Smart stork was really helpful in our family planning. It gave us goals, instead of the hit or miss method most people use for conception. I felt really informed and knowledgeable, since we were hoping not just to get pregnant but to conceive a girl. We were very proactive in the diet, supplements and all other tips given on your website.

 

Thanks again for the support.

Rhonda

 

 



 
 
















Dear Smart Stork,

 

We've been trying to conceive using your system since February of this year.  And after 5 months; I'm pregnant!  We are so excited!  We followed all of your recommendations on trying for a GIRL!  I got my 1st positive OPK result on Friday, June 24th at 11:00 PM.   The gender predictor favored a GIRL with 98%.  We tried 3 attempts between 25/06/05 - 11pm to 26/06/05 - 11pm.  I'm pregnant, now is the waiting period to see if we are truly going to have a GIRL!  We'll let you know, as soon as we find out!  Thanks for all the help and information!

Update ….It's a GIRL!!!!!  We are so excited we finally have a pink bundle to add to our family!  Thank you so much for all the help, guidance, and support.  We feel truly blessed!
Endometriosis

Endometriosis - a condition where endometrial cells grow elsewhere in the abdominal cavity; commonly found in/or on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, bowel, pelvic floor, uterus and/or peritoneum.

Symptoms can include- uterine pain and lower back pain prior to and during menstruation, as well as intermittent pain throughout the whole menstrual cycle, painful intercourse, excessive bleeding and passing of large clots, nausea, vomiting and constipation during menstruation and can cause infertility. In some cases where menstrual bleeding is heavy iron deficiency is common - iron deficiency must be diagnosed by your GP.

The endometrial cells grow and fill with blood in the first half of the menstrual cycle (follicular phase) when estrogen is the dominant hormone. After ovulation if an ovum is not fertilised the endometrial cells begin to die off and the excess blood and uterine lining break down and are shed through menstruation.

The endometrial cells in other areas also grow and fill with blood during the follicular phase, but unlike the uterine cells have no way of being expelled from the body. The surrounding tissues absorb the excess blood in these areas.

The process of bleeding through absorption can be a very slow and painful process. Sometimes the excess blood accumulates in cysts or sacs, which on occasion burst causing extreme pain.

Many women find their symptoms improve during pregnancy - due to a lower estrogen level relative to high progesterone levels and the hormonal cycle is broken. Pregnancy can cause permanent or temporary relief.

The cause of endometriosis is unknown. There are several theories - reflux menstruation where menstrual fluid backs up into the fallopian tubes and causes endometrial cells to implant themselves and grow.

Another theory is that endometrial cells spread to other parts of the body via the blood and lymphatic system. Some research suggests endometriosis is related to an inability to absorb calcium.

Natural Treatments for Endometriosis that may help to keep this condition under control.

Medical treatments

Medical treatments such as Danazol (Danocrine), Nafarelin or leuprolide (lupron) have shown to not only improve symptoms but also in 85 - 89% heal and shrink the growths. There are side effects associated with these medications, which usually disappear once treatment ceases.

Surgical treatments

Dr David Redwine suggests that if both typical and atypical lesions are removed surgically 75% of patients can experience a complete recovery from this condition. More information on Dr Redwines treatment of endometriosis can be obtained by writing to
