Do I Dare Hope?

My appointment with the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) doctor went well yesterday. I now have lots of pills to take twice a day with my regular vitamins, and a powder to take three times a day. I'll go back in two weeks to see his wife who will adjust my herbs and do acupuncture. He indicated that his wife did work in an infertility clinic in China and that she has gotten many a woman pregnant here at their practice. So the question is ... do I dare hope? I think I should keep a positive attitude, it'll help the process.

We also talked about my other issues too, and he believes they are all related to the same underlying problems: low blood pressure, low blood sugar, bruising, fatigue, mild IBS, low sex drive. So the herbs I'm taking should be working on them all and not just my infertility. What a novel concept! Me as a whole person, and not just my parts.

I'll keep you all posted.

Good luck with this. The one and only time I went to a chinese med specialist it totally worked for a cyst that wouldn't go away. In three months of treatment they got results no one could. I hope this experience brings you positive results.

Glad you are trying this! I have been going for a little less than a month now, so we'll see.

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni
