 my bfp
hi there,
i just got my bfp this morning and told myself if i got one i would post how i did it...just because i enjoy reading other people's stories, and hopefully it will help someone else.
well, i started my cycle back when my daughter was 10 months old (i was breastfeeding until 1), and i started charting my cycles in october. my cycles were coming every 23 days and according to my temps i was not ovulating. i went to see a naturpath and she have me some homeopathic meds to take on day 1, day 8, day 15, and day 22 (hypophysinum, folliculinum, ovarinum, and lutenium). they didn't seem to help because i didn't ovulate in november or december, but maybe they were slow acting? not sure, she also did acupuncture in the first week of my cycle in november, december and january. starting in january i started taking vitex in a tincture form (i tsp in the morning and one in the evening), and soy on cycle days 3-7 (50 mg 3 times a day). i also took epo the first half of my cycle.
as far as diet goes, i am pretty strict with no sugar, no white flour, nothing processed etc. i had a gym membership, and worked out 2-3 times a week, but it ran out mid december, so i'm not sure if that helped either. i also have a good quality multi everyday and take fish oil, and have ground flax on my cereal in the morning...and make sure i have some protein at breakfast to help keep my blood sugar stable...usually cottage cheese. also, i was taking cinnamon after dinner and usually sprinkled some on my cereal and put some in my coffee (when i had coffee). i also drink green tea everyday.
anyways, i'm not sure if that will help anyone, and it's obviously super early and anything can happen, but i thought i would share.
good luck to everyone else!
