I thought I'd distract myself from obsessing over my 2WW by posting something about my furry baby. I was out all day attending a friend's wedding anniversary celebration and had to leave my fluff-ball alone at home for a whole 9 hours. Poor Zoey! I wonder what he feels when he's alone at home for that many hours. Anxiety? Loneliness? "YAY! I can do whatever I want!"? I came home and nothing was broken. And the sofa's still intact. Well, he probably slept all day... Cats have an amazing talent - they can sleep 28 hours a day! This is one of the many pics I have of Zoey sleeping. Anything is comfortable to him, and he doesn't care for luxurious beds. The cheaper the better! This is one of his favourite sleeping spots - a cheap $2 plastic basket.

Aw, such a sweetie!
You're such a sweetie, too, for posting all that wonderful info on my blog! Even though you're preaching to the choir, it's soooo good to have it reinforced. I do have The Infertility Cure and Fertility Wisdom, and I've been seeing a wonderful acupuncturist for treatment and herbs since mid-June, not to mention following a TCM/naturopathic diet, doing castor oil packs, wheatgrass, Coenzyme Q10, yoga, whatever I can whenever I can. Do you have FSH issues also, resulting in taking DHEA, too? I take it you have Kidney Yang deficiency also? I'm really amazed at how much better my "cold uterus" is after a few months of all of this - not nearly as cold to the touch. I really appreciate your encouragement, and I wish you all the very best for this 2WW - may it go quickly and end in a beautiful positive.
Love,
Maddy
Oh thank you Maddy/Mad Hatter for your lovely comment! I am so thrilled that there's ONE person out there who totally understands me and can relate to what I am going through. You're just the kind of support I need. Given our similar circumstances, we're almost like IF "twins".
Yes, I do have kidney yang deficiency too-infact I have very low kidney energies both yin & yang when I started out, together with blood stasis & cold uterus. My conditions have improved a lot, though the m/c set me back quite a bit. Every cycle is a struggle. But moxibustion sessions have been really good for me.
I am so impressed by your efforts and dedication towards your infertility "cure" - I am not as diligent as you are with the diet and supplements- I am only taking spirulina and Omega-3 at the moment, plus some small dietary changes. I did a no-wheat, no-dairy, no-meat diet for 3-4 months, which was EVERYTHING I loved to eat, and I was sooooooo depressed. It made me miserable! I never want to experience that kind of stress and depression again! Besides my TCM doc told me it wasn't necessary for me to abstain from those things. I only have to cut out meat with hormones, esp chicken. So I eat organic meat, veggies and fish whenever I can.
I am sorry Maddy, I dont know what's going on with my FSH as I haven't tested in quite a while. I haven't taken any DHEA supplements. My TCM doc is trying to help my body produce the right hormones itself, and I personally don't feel I should be ingesting any artificial hormonal/steroidal supplements that can throw off what the body is trying to do naturally now, esp with my TCM treatments. Western Medicine is so different from chinese medicine in their approach. Western medicine puts a bandage on (pumps in whatever hormones/chemicals that are missing), chinese medicine actually gets to the root of the problem (ie; helps the body make the hormones it should be making in the first place). I personally prefer the latter as it makes more sense to me. It will be interesting to see if it's helping you. I don't really know anything for sure. This whole TCM thing is like a major experiment for me and I'm hanging on to see if it works for me as I think it is more holistic, logical and less invasive. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Thank you for dropping by and taking the time to comment here Maddy! I am touched by your well wishes! You're always very welcome in this neck of the woods, or rather blogosphere anytime! Here's to more baby dust to both of us!
