Well it's been a while hasn't it?! I took a lot of time off from ttc, of course it is always in the back of your mind whether you're currently trying or on a break! It's something you never really forget about. DH and I celebrated out 1 year wedding anniversary on October 6th, it was a blast. We got a hotel and went to a horror movie convention that weekend (yeah we are addicted to horror movies lol!) Part of me obviously wanted to conceive that weekend, I don't think I really thought about it, but it was subconscious I'm sure.
I have not seen AF in so long I have forgotten what she's like lol. I hate that because I really do nothing to keep track of my cycle, or whether or not I ovulate. That was part of my giving up, or more positively"taking a break". The only thing i have been doing still is my multivitamins, but as far as dhea or any other supplement, i stopped taking them. And i haven't gone to the RE I was told to try by a friend. I really did just give up trying to increase my odds.
recently i had a yeast infection (tmi I'm sure!), every woman knows how bad those are! Ugh! It just took so long to get rid of, I've never had one like that before. I feel like it was some other issue, but eventually it went away so i never went to get it checked out. I'm just tired of having issues with my lady bits. It's so much easier to just ignore it lol! I am honestly blaming a lot of this on stress. I had started a new job and then i ended up quitting it within 3 months...it was just awful. My grandma passed away in August of ovarian cancer, and this job was so unwilling to work with me. So i was jobless and very stressed about money and life in general. I did start a new job recently tho! Everything has worked out with that luckily.
so yeah, with my luck picking up a little, ttc has popped back up for me. But DH is not really on board. I believe it is mostly because he remembers how miserable i was when we were trying strongly. Even tho he was not pumped about the idea, i started doing some more research. I settled on trying Vitex, or known as chaste berry to some. I have a woman at my new job that is suffering from pof as well and she started taking it two months ago and it brought back her monthly visits from AF! So, i ordered a tincture, and started today. I know it takes time, but i am hopeful! I am not thinking it will get me pregnant, nothing ever will most likely, but i really want AF back, and i want to at least lower my fsh and I've read a ton about vitex helping that! I wonder if anyone has had a crazy success story using thus herbal remedy? I've read a lot of studies and such, but real life stories are what i like the best. I know a blogger i read used a tincture of chaste berry and something else and she is having twins! Lol that would be something.
but yeah, life is still a mess, but i think it just needs some organization. :P
i am on my phone blogging and its really annoying! So this is all for now.
Have you tried wheatgrass to try and help lower your FSH?
ReplyDeleteAnd I would seriously try and dish out some money to try and get an appt with some doc to check out your hormone levels right now.
I think that would help you to make some decisions...
