AMAZING STORY!
From:
Shawn & Carmen Gray
Fargo, ND 4-9-06
Carmen and I had always planned on having a family. However by January
of 2005 we had gone through 2 miscarriages in the previous 3 year
period. After talking with quite a few people, it's amazing how many
people have either gone through a miscarriage or infertility OR KNOW
SOMEONE who has gone through similar trials. It is an emotionally
difficult thing to experience.
After our second miscarriage our Doctor tested different hormone
levels. We found out that Carmen's progesterone level was low.
Progesterone is a hormone that is CRITICAL during
pregnancy....ESPECIALLY the first trimester. Once pregnant, a women's
progesterone level needs to go UP to support the baby. Our
Doctor explained that a "normal" level of progesterone is around 20.
After Carmen's second miscarriage we had her progesterone level tested
and it was only at 2! No wonder we were having problems. Our Doctor
said that we needed to take a prescription progesterone supplement RIGHT
AFTER CONCEPTION.
In
February of 2005 we found out we were pregnant again. We were obviously
very excited, but scared at the same time. When we found out, we were
4 weeks along and HAD NOT BEEN SUPPLEMENTING with progesterone because
the pregnancy was a surprise. We went into the Hospital trying not to
think the worst.
When
Carmen's levels were tested we found out that her Progesterone level was
at a 32!! It went from a 2 to a 32! The ONLY difference was
Shaklee supplements!! Both Carmen and I had been taking the
Essential Foundation (Vitamin Strips and Protein) plus Omega.
We
are believers that prayers from family and friends made a difference as
well. But physically the ONLY thing different from our miscarriages to
having our son was taking Shaklee's vitamins and protein. We thank God
and Shaklee!!
Our
son, London Gray, was born November 2nd, 2005 and is in PERFECT
health!! Below is a picture of London at 5 days old and one at 4
months. He's wonderful and an amazing blessing!! We believe that
Shaklee has figured out what the human body needs. We view Shaklee as
our life-long PARTNER for Health, Wellness, and Financial Independence.
Trust them. We do.
