- Reiki
- Acupuncture every week
- Special herbal teas from the acupuncturist that i had to drink every night that tasted like sweet death
- psychic healing (including putting a powdery substance created by a spiritual healer on my tongue and envisioning the baby i hoped to have every morning and wearing jewelry that was meant to bring me luck and hope)
- medication to regulate cycle
- cervical fluid enhancer
- cough medicine (look it up)
- evening primrose
- ayurvedic therapy
- diet
- exercise
- tai chi for stress relief and exercise
- cycle tracking
- endocrinologist
- reading a million books on fertility
- praying (which is weird when you aren't particularly religious)
- therapy
- trying not to think about it
- thinking about it too much
- not taking hardly any pain medication for my fibromyalgia, or drinking for 2 years as i could be pregnant "at any time"
- laying down for 30 minutes after intercourse, every time, with a pillow under my ass
- taking my temperature every morning as soon as i woke up for 2 years
- vaginal progesterone suppositories
- other hormones that made me crazy that had to be taken at set times every day
- and almost clomid. But once i had the prescription in my wallet i got pregnant
And now we are starting again. Wishing, hoping and praying that it doesn't take as long or as much out of me this time.
I am much more hopeful now as i have seen that my body can do it. My beautiful baby is proof. And i am on the same medication as before, so hopefully my body will kick right in and make this all easier.
(side note to the friend that got pregnant on their first try and complained to me about "those long 6 weeks waiting to confirm the pregnancy" ummmmm read this list again and see if you get why i went silent when you said that.)
