Mixed news...

so today i had my 6 week check up with the naturopath and it was all a bit mixed. I am improving but not as much as he thinks i should be....he even thought i was a little dehydrated which made me laugh as i am getting through over 4 litres of water a day every day!

It did feel really good to be able to sit there and say...."no, i have been perfect...i have eaten and drunk everything I was supposed too". And i do feel better and am sleeping better. I have more energy and is it more evenly balanced. I have no food/sugar cravings...so i do know it is working.

He is majorly worried about my left ovary which has been damaged by the IUI process as they put you into early menopause to make you release more eggs....it is improving but very slowly.

The areas he is working on is Pancreas, Kidney, Ovaries, Stomach...all slowly heading in right direction...but he expected at least double the results.

My iron levels also gone down.

I am not absorbing the silica (he thinks my pancreas) from the mountains of lettuce I am eating.

He is also very anti cats as they can lead to problems absorbing silica!

So from here...he has changed my tonics...so now i am on a Liquid ailica (to try and make me absorb it), a female fertility tonic, an adapted Blood Sugar tonic. I am staying on the mag phos (that will be forever), clove powder and have about a week left on the super tonic.

The cats have been banished to the lower end of the house (as they usually only sit on me if i am sitting on the lounge).

I have to up the amount of beans and lentils i eat (a bit eww) and just stick with everything else i am doing.

The biggest thing, and biggest dilema...is that he fears my lack of progress is because of some underlying sadness. And when he asked if i was sad about anything...and well yes...i am sad that i am not pregnant or have a baby in my arms...and well the issue there is that unless i get pregnant i will be sad...so how do i get over my sadness in order to get pregnant.

I am happier now then i have been in ages, i feel positive and strong...I guess all i can do is build on that from week to week and keep on moving forward. I will have to go back and see Jaclyn (hypnotherapy) sooner then i had planned but that is OK.

So onwards and upwards, I am improving, i am succeeding in sticking to my diet and taking all my tonics...i can and will do this...i simply must
