Raising Infertility Awareness, and spreading hope and encouragement along the way.
A few months ago I listened to a podcast episode that talked about how she used a visualization to help move things through her reproductive organs. Allowing flow, movement, good positive vibes, getting out all the gunk, and allowing oxygen to flow into my uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. The goal is to get the blood into the organs and allowing all 3 organs to work together. If you visualize something that you want (in this case your uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes) a lot of time it actually manifests itself, and starts working.
Well, after 8 months of trying (because we aren’t doing IVF) my focus is now on actually GETTING pregnant, rather than when I am pregnant. Included are: Myo-Inositol, Chaste Tree Berry Extract (Vitex), Ashwagandha Extract, Shatavari Root Extract, Stinging Nettle Root Extract, and Choline. Vitamin E can help men with sperm mobility, and quality, while in women can increase overall health of the eggs. And has been found “most notably for regulating estrogen metabolism, reducing estrogen dominance” and too high of estrogen (imbalance of estrogen and progesterone) can cause PMS like symptoms.
If you do need to supplement, then supplement with Vitamin D-3 because most D supplements end up not having enough actual Vitamin D in them. While maca helps both men and women, it does not contain any hormones, it helps progesterone and Estrogen in women. Included are: Myo-Inositol, Chaste Tree Berry Extract (Vitex), Ashwagandha Extract, Shatavari Root Extract, Stinging Nettle Root Extract, and Choline. DIM has been found to “most notably for regulating estrogen metabolism, reducing estrogen dominance” and too high of estrogen (imbalance of estrogen and progesterone) can cause PMS like symptoms.
I don’t like asking for help, but I felt with the mental/emotional state we were going to need it. My midwife asked if there was anything she could do, and I asked if she could find an OB or hospital who would allow a bereavement doula (since this was in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic). From what Kelsey said, once she asked a few times stating that we really wanted to bring him home, the mortuary seemed to be okay with making that happen. I know this might not be for everyone (I suggest it even if you’re cremating), but knowing we were able to bring our deceased baby home meant so much.
