That's it. I've had enough wallowing. It's take charge time. I think I've been fighting the fact that I know I really want another child. I've been trying, but only half-heartedly to have another. I think I haven't been fully committed because I know how crazy and stressed out I was when I was trying with the doctors. I hated the weight gain, the hormones, hating sex, etc. But I know a lot more now. I'm in tune with my body more, even if my temps are all over the chart right now. I know something is not right and needs to be fixed. I believe I can fully commit myself to getting pregnant again without losing myself, gaining a ton of weight, and isolating DH and I from our friends.
So with that in mind.... what are my passions?
1. My family - I love DH and Phoebe immensely. I want us to have a fabulous life together. And I'll state it. I want our family to grow!!!! We have more love that we can all share.
2. My friends - We have a very supportive network of friends that I want us to continue to spend time with.
3. My work - I really do love what I do and find it quite rewarding.
4. Yoga - I love the way I feel when I get to spend more time on the mat. It calms down my mind like nothing other.
There are things that I have been doing already to increase fertility and I need to understand that I'm in a much better place than I was after having Phoebe:
1. My chiropractor has practically eliminated my hip and lower back issues. He is awesome!!! I have always thought when going through infertility treatments that I couldn't get pregnant with the lower back issues I had. I knew it was stifling my lower torso of my body.
2. I have officially given up coffee again recently and this time it's going to stick. I am going to give up my precious wine too!
3. I have the tools I need from reading Inconceivable and The Infertility Cure. I will change my diet and my lifestyle to follow these. I may even take up juicing. I'll write more about these as we go.
4. I will make some modifications to my herbs that I'm taking and add False Unicorn Root to my protocol.
5. I will contact the new acupuncurist and find a way to handle the expense.
6. I will discuss this all with Tom that I want to officially try for another child and that this is my intention. I need to have this completely in the open. After a few months of cleansing my system and de-stressing my life, if we don't get pregnant, we will look at another infertility doctor in this area that I know of, but while continuing the diet, stress-relief and acupuncture. If I knew then what I know now, I think it would've worked last time. I will discuss with Tom that I don't want this to consume my life, but want to have fun and not lose ourselves in the process.
I'll keep you all updated on how things are going. I really feel like today is a turning point in how I've been feeling.
