Hi again,
3 days in to my down regulation now. It seems to flying past.
I have felt a bit tired and some period cramps and slight headaches - nothing compared to what I first thought it might be although the next 2 weeks will be interesting.
When I went to the Acupuncturist last, she put needles in each ear to press for anxiety and I feel quite chilled.
I realise that I didn't mention some other things that I have been doing along the way. I knew I needed to start a folic acid supplement so went and bought Pregnacare Plus which also has Omega 3/DHA capsule in which is supposed to benefit both baby and mother. I have been taking them daily for about 6 weeks.
I also bought a book by Zita West:Fertility and Conception, which has been really helpful to keep me focused on what is helpful and not.
I am trying really hard to stop smoking too. I am down to about 6 per day and am hopeful I will be completely stopped over the next couple of weeks. I know I should have stopped by now, but anyone who smokes will understand how stressful it is in itself to stop especially when when there are other things ongoing.
I'm not much of a drinker anyway, so that part was easy for me.
I mentioned before that I lost alot of weight. I have recently put a wee bit back on so I'm hoping with healthy eating that it will balance out again. As a general rule, we do eat really healthily but I am very partial to sweets!!
Until next time,
L,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
