Not This Time

My temps dropped on Saturday morning. Sunday morning AF showed up. I'm pretty bummed, but I'm trying to stay upbeat. I know of other things I can still do to tweak what's going on. One good thing, my temp dropped a day before I got AF, which is what it's supposed to do.

I'm retrenching and more fully comitting to the following where I tend to slide every now and then:
  • No coffee
  • No dairy
  • No wheat

I'm also doing a fast with only eating kitchari and drinking tea for the next few days. They say if you are going to do any fasting that it's best to do in the beginning of your cycle. If you read the article, you can see that it talks about healing your digestive tract. After this, I'm going to try to more fully follow the TCM diet I know I should be on which is no cold food. I'm going to eat a lot of soups and other meals must always have lightly cooked vegetables. I'm also going to try to find time to go down to the juice place I like and pick up a bunch of wheatgrass shots to freeze. I want to have one every day. I will continue the good work I'm doing on my yoga practice. Of course, I'm giving my body a rest from practice for the next few days. I'll keep you updated as we go.

Sorry this wasn't your month. You sound like you've got quite the health plan, though, which can only help in the long run (at the very least, you probably won't get a cold for a while, lol!). Hope that BFP is right around the corner for you...

So sorry AF found you. :( Sounds like you are doing some good things though.

Sorry.

I do have a question, though. Does the no dairy, coffee, or wheat help fertility? My sister has been having problems and I will pass that along to her if so.

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...

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...
