First Attempt to Conceive for 2017

I have been meeting Dr. Petterson of Fertility Fundamentals for 8 months now. Nothing has changed since then. I have been under Clomid for 3 cycles and moved to Letrozole last cycle. Since nothing has changed in my cervical mucus she upped my dose to 9 tablets on Day 2 and 3. (Speaking of which I am meant to take it now.) I am hoping that this time will be the time for us. I have endometriosis, PCOS, retroverted uterus, and a little below my ideal BMI. My doctor prescribed me to take Metformin and Low Dose Netrozole to help me with PCOS and endometriosis, respectively. 

I have made a lot of preparation for this cycle. I regularly did a light 30min yoga for almost a month. Took the following to hopefully help me have healthy eggs:

• Healthy Care Propolis since 2016
• Nature's Own Zinc, B6, Magnesium 2tabs/day and upped it to 4tabs/day this cycle
• Blackmores Fish Oil - 2caps/day
• Priceline's Methyl Folate for my MTHFR since 2016
• EPO since Day 1
• Kale soup everyday
• Goji berry tea 

Today is may Day 2 and I can see the changes in my blood flow. It was not like last cycle's. Last month my period was light and dark brown to black in colour. I know it was not healthy so I decided to move my body more because in TCM, black blood is a sign of blood stagnation. It worked! This cycle it is bright red with little clots. I didn't have bad cramping although I felt tolerable pain here and there due to my endometriosis. I guess it is good to mention that the week leading to my Day 1 I put hot pad in my lower abdomen and soak my feet in hot water whenever I have a chance to keep my body warm. From TCM again, cold tummy, feet and hands are signs of blood stagnation and cold uterus. Despite having 35C temperature at times in this very dry summer weather I still warm up my tummy.

Here we are on Day 2! Hopefully with all the preparations and fervent prayers all things will work out great!

Hello There!

How many blog attempts have I made? 2? 3? I don't know! I think this is already my fifth! Yup. That's right. My fifth. One word - L.A.Z.Y. Haha!

What brought me back to blogosphere? I just thought I need a place to express everything I am thinking and feeling. Not that my husband is not someone who's able to give me that. I am happy that he is good at listening, sometimes. 

Let me introduce myself first. I am married for more than nine years now and still without a child. We've been actively trying ever since we got married but nadah! Well that's life. No matter how much I want to control everything. I can't. No one can. We've moved to Australia from the Philippines last winter of 2014. Life here has been bitter sweet. We love our new home but we still miss our home country. So, we try to enjoy where we are as much as we can.

Hope you'll join me as I document my journey towards a more fulfilling life!
