Ooooopps

I had half a latte, this morning. It just sounded sooooo good! I stopped drinking it once I got my fix. I was going to start walking today, but it is all ugly out. I just picked up a book with an eight week yoga program. Yoga helps fertility, so I am going to get back into it. It is such great exercise for the body, mind, and spirit. I want to add the program into my fertility regimen within the next week.

Off the Starbucks

I haven't had a latte since Tuesday the 17th. My breasts are tender, and my skin is ichy in the evening. My skin was horribly itchy, last time I was preggars. I will do a pregnancy test on Sunday.

It was "O" Time

I awoke Sunday with a bloated belly, and a 'full' feeling in my lower abdomen. I tested positive, with the ovulation detector kit, later on that morning. I decided to pretty myself up with a super shave job, and a whole body sugar scrubbing. The shave was beautiful, but never try to scrub a rampant Lupus rash. There was burning and stinging. Not a bright manuver on my part.
We used "sperm friendly" lubricant, during my ovulation window, to make love every night. I took EPO thru Wednesday, for a better quality cervical mucus. Last night, I was having weird cramping sensations in my lower abdomen. Egg implantation? We'll know in a few more days...

Plan of Attack

I now must personalize my fertility restoration plan. I need to order some vitamins, minerals and other supplements. I have already started taking EPO (Evening Primrose Oil) for healthier cervical fluid. I need to cut out my morning latte', and evening glass of red wine. I have discovered some great Minute Maid anti-oxidant juice, I will be substituting for wine. I also need to schedule in at least one yoga session a day.
Part of my plan includes a daily foot massage from my hubby. It is good for improving blood flow to all of one's organs, especially the reproductive ones.

Finished the Book

I finished the book yesterday. It has a lot of natural and inexpensive suggestions for improving your fertiltiy. The premis is for you to use Traditional Chinese Medicine, to solve your infertiltiy issues. My problems seem to stem from my Qi being off in my kidneys and spleen.
"Pregnancy Miracle" also mentions some simple self care procedures you can do to relax your body, and increase the blood flow to your reproductive organs.

Only 100 pages to go

I made it to page 200, last night. The book does have some wonderful information on acupressure, vitamins, minerals, and herbs. It has great ideas on natural ways of improving your body systems, thus increasing your fertility.

So far, Not much new

I am up to page 87. The book, so far, has repeated everything I had already learned on my own, thru other resources. It has pointed out a few acupuncture/acupressure points that may be useful in increasing the blood flow to certain organs, thus improving their functionality. This book may be good for somebody who hasn't done much research on the natural approaches to increasing your fertility.
