The Baby Recipe

Well top of a Friday morning. I'm already getting that Friday BUZZ

The last few days - I've made a lot of progress. I'm feeling a lot more tuned into my positive channel again. I'm feeling extremely buzzed about our "au natural" month. It's good to be not taking drugs and just not caring about anything. It's good to feel ALIVE again and not a walking injection! Though I said to my partner this morning, I really don't mind all the drugs, they're fine - they're not bad at all. In fact, they make me feel like I'm doing something to help!

Also I've been listening to "The Secret" every morning driving in my car. So for now, I'm believing I am pregnant. Yes, that's one of the things you must do in "The Secret" - believe that it has already been received and that you are grateful and happy for it. So that's what I'm doing. I'm behaving as if I am (as we say in dublin) "up the duff!" I need to believe with every fibre of my being. Now, that's the hard part, practising make believe.

Now, all myself and my partner need to do is enjoy some "baby dancing"...in order for it to happen. And.......that won't be too much of a chore. So this weekend is lining up as
Day 10 (Fri)
Day 11(sat),
Day 12(sun),
Day 13(Mon),
Day 14 (Tue) - these are the days to go for it!!

I've been taking all my supplements - here's a list of my morning pills. I'm the queen of pillpopping!
Co10 Co-enzyme 10 (2 a day)
Chlorella (superfood) (up to 6 per day)
Udo's oil, omega, 3, 6 and 9 (3 x 3 times per day)
My usual multivitamin (one per day)
400 mg Folic Acid (one per day)
Natural iron sachets ( 2 per day for my anemia and to prevent it)
Baby aspirin (one 75mg per day)
Royal Jelly (one per day)

(I actually stopped the DHEA as I'm really frightened of this as it's a hormone...)

Chinese herbs:
Nuan Gong Yun Zi Wan ( apparently these chinese herbs warm the uterus/womb - and this appears to be my problem - I think as to why my 2 little embies didn't take there)
Ren Shen Gui Pi Wan (mainly consists of Ginseng and helps to tone the blood)
Fu Ke Yang Rong (nourishes Yin apparently!)

Do I feel any better? Well not sure yet. The other day I bought an online book for 50 dollars ("the pregnancy miracle" by Lisa Olson.) I know I'm a SUCKER with a capital S!! It was one of those spur of the moment decisions. I suppose I know an awful lot about fertility now. I really should start a fertility workshop here in Ireland. Get some ladies together to support and help each other....hmmmm ideas...

It pretty much tells you what most the other books do tell you - but interestingly includes sections on doing acupressure yourself on your body on various points. This part really interests me - as I hate having to spend 80-100 euros on an acupuncture session and I really want to know which points they are using and why. This book has an entire section with points. So I found that really useful. It is pretty expensive for 50 dollars - and not really worth it - so seriously don't buy it! To be fair, It is fairly comprehensive and to be honest - if you were to buy all the supplements - it would cost the same as an IUI!! I know my supplements are about 100 euros per month. But I suppose I don't drink, so they're my alcohol!

So folks, it's another weekend and the sun failed to come out all week. We were supposed to have a week of sunshine - but somehow clouds conspired to blow across to us from Europe. So anyway, have a great weekend - mine is going to be spent painting my house tomorrow. In 2 weeks time, it's on the market. I'll be selling my house....There's no point in me and my partner having two houses and all the extra expense. So mine is being sold. Wish me Luck!
