Sometimes God has a different path in store for us. After being diagnosed with POF, I set out on a journey to "repair" my body and get pregnant naturally. Somewhere along the line, although pristine health and self care is my goal, the necessity to "prove" the doctors wrong became less important and we sought the perfect solution to grow our family. We decided on Embryo Donation / Adoption. Read about our journey. Blessings!

It WILL get better!

Well, today started out as an exhausting day. I haven’t been sleeping well. My TCM mixed some herbs that are suppose to help me relax in addition to detoxify and replenish my system yesterday and they taught me some meditation to help with my insomnia and some massage of points that help my ovaries and reproductive organs. Out of curiosity, I asked my TCM how many herbs were in this wonderful mixture and she told me well over 20. Yowzer. That in addition to all the supplements I’m on. Wow!

I did my castor oil pack last night and then did the meditations, but two hours later I was wide awake. I tossed and turned for a few more hours then after 2 am was up for good. I just can’t shut my mind off.


I took a brief nap this afternoon, well, shut my eyes for 25 minutes and am feeling better after eating lunch and taking my herbs. I’m still really struggling with weaning. I know it sounds absolutely silly, but it’s really hard. I miss bonding with Reed during those times, and I know he does too. When he’s tired especially, he keeps turning his body in to nurse. I feel serious “mommy guilt” over this.
