So, in trying to get pregnant, I've tried many things- as I've mentioned. I do acupuncture weekly. I take more vitamins and supplements than anyone should. I take my temperature every morning and chart it. I've had to drastically change my diet. And I also drink these super gross tasting chinese herb tinctures.
I didn't have to drink them last month, because I was on the clomid. (you know- the clomid that didn't do a damn thing.) Anyway, since I'm not doing clomid this month, I'm back to the herbs, and MAN they taste worse than I thought.
I mix them with hot water and drink them 3 times a day, and it's ROUGH. It didn't seem as gross before, but I think after taking one month off, I'm just not used to it anymore.
Anyway, my point is this: I will love my baby with all my heart. I can't wait to have a little person to love unconditionally and hug and kiss. However, when they're teenagers? Or even younger and throwing horrible temper tantrums and they won't listen to me? I will make sure to let them know about all the gross stuff I had to drink so that I could bring them into this world.
Because you know, what's parenting- without a little guilt? ;)

me too! nasty, huh? i hate when they get stuck in your throat. ugh. i'm already dreading my evening dose.
ReplyDeleteI am not on Clomid this month either, but it's because my Obstetrician failed to call my Rx in to the pharmacy before I left on a weekend trip, so I missed that Day 4-9 window... bummer. On the other hand, I've been kinda frisky the last few days and feeling really in the "mood" a lot, so maybe my own hormones are actually working somewhat this month-- I've had some twinges on my right ovary the last two days which could be ovulating maybe, or maybe it's just the stupid cysts hurting me mid-cycle. Anywhoo... just thought I'd share that.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've been thinking about going on a dairy-free, gluten-free diet, but oh my gosh, I don't know if I have the will power to do that, not to mention, I have no idea what I'd actually eat that would make me happy. I love to bake breads, and eat them with cheese & butter. None of that fake soy substitute stuff, thanks!
