Time to tint my hair blue...
You all know the shade I am talking about. The 75 plus ladies walking around with their tight perms and their hair coloured that shade of silvery grey with an ever so slight hint of blue to it? I decided I may as well go for it, since when I looked at my kitchen counter this morning, I decided if I didn’t know it was mine I would think I was standing in a house belonging to an 82 year old...an 82 year old in poor health, I might add. There on my counter, was a jumbled mass of supplements; a collection of bottles so plenty, it would make a cancer patient shake their head. I’ve got my folic acid (birth defects), B6 (got to help out that luteal phase), B12 (just goes with the B6, doesn’t it?), royal jelly (just because that damn queen bee is so fertile...bitch..), Norwegian fish oil and wheat germ oil (because the internet tells me so and I am so desperate these days that I will take advice from random strangers), baby aspirin (because my doctor said it couldn’t hurt) and a good old regular pre-natal multi vitamin (just in case I missed something). I also have some co-enzyme Q10 and resveratrol waiting at the post office for me to pick up (have to keep those eggs young, you know).If you think that is bad, it gets worse. Off in the distance is the Mucinex I take during ovulation (making body fluids more hospitable for my up coming guests), the Benadryl I take after ovulation (maybe uterine histamines are killing my guests once they arrive??), bromelain enzyme (supposed to make the guests want to stay) and of course, the "Mac Daddy" of all my supplements, the bottle given to me by my Chinese acupuncturist who thinks my problem has it’s roots in my kidneys. A bottle that has a label that I can’t even read. It is entirely in Chinese, except for a couple of sentences in English which explain that this kidney issue is confirmed by a “coolness in the loins”. Now, Dr. Wei certainly didn’t feel my loins, nor would I like him to, so I am just going to trust him on this one and take my pills. After all, they’re only “Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan” pills...and I only have to take 24 of them a day. No biggie...and besides, if I can finally get hot loins as a side effect, it's all worth it, no?
Wow. The things we will do to get pregnant. Half of it is probably mind over matter. I think I can see steam rising from my loins right now!!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone. I will be back next week, at which time, I will be in my 2WW. I will not be posting this weekend because I will be too busy with the things you do in the days preceding a 2WW. Wish me luck!
