Rest and Relaxation, by Lillian Nelson

(I had a feeling that would get your attention.)

Did you ever consider that? How could you with all the other things to worry about:

You've cut down on alcohol, caffeine, and even processed food.

You've scheduled more time to relax and tried to reduce the stress in your life

You've started a consistent exercise routine and detoxified your house.

You've charted your monthly cycle, bought ovulation kits, and still...nothing.

But you've overlooked one very important element: sleep, which you don't get enough of.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
