Oh yesss, I didn't think about the fact that you shouldn't have hot baths, so you may be right about the hot water bottle on the stomach! Maybe I'll just keep it on my feet for now!
I've just had my first section of pineapple core which was an absolute fail. I popped it in the blender with a little water and it leaked 😱 I reckon I probably consumed about a cm out of what was an inch of core to begin with. Fml 🤦🏽♀️ I'll just eat the second bit tomorrow.
Oh hun, I know, it's really hard! We spend years trying not to get preggers and then when we try it takes ages while others fall pregnant at the click of a finger. On my first month of trying, little did I know my bro and sis-in-law we're trying and low and behold, they fell pregnant on their first cycle. As happy as I am for them, I can't help but feel sad for us who take a little longer.
I'm not a cryer, but last month when AF came, I bawled my eyes out! I do feel like the Maca has definitely helped my emotions and energy levels if nothing else though this month, whether it's a placebo effect is definitely questionable though.
Last month I felt like I had pg symptoms. Cramping in uterus, shooting pain in boobs etc.. must have just been my hormones. I don't know about you, but I'm way more in touch with every twinge I feel now that I'm TTC. I'm really going to try hard not to symptom spot this month. I do every month and there's always something that makes me think "this could be the one", and then I'm sorely disappointed... actually, let's not sugar coat it, I'm absolutely f'ing gutted and very angry.
As disheartening as it can get, we've just gotta keep trying I guess! I should technically go to the GP after this cycle if it doesn't happen given that I'm 35 but I want to give it until the end of the year.
Haha, I don't blame you with the odd glass of wine. I did say to OH yesterday that I'll be downing a large G&T or 10 if/when AF arrives this time!!
I've also got him on Proceive Max for men, although he only manages to drink about 3 sachets a week 🙄
