So Much Heat....

Had another appointment with my OB last Friday and again I was emotional. It seems that I am not truly over yet with my rebirth.

I was a bit emotional when she asked me how I was and I said that I was a bit disappointed because I had my period. While mentioning this I started crying, can you believe how emotional I am!!!!

Anyway, she asked me to explain in detail how I felt. I said I felt disappointed, frustrated, impatient and mad. She asked what exactly was running in my head. I said that I really felt bad because I was really hoping that we'll be successful this time and I couldn't help but ask how come other people doesn't have a hard time conceiving while here I was doing everything just to be able to conceive. She said I understand how you feel and she said it seems that I am not yet fully convinced that I will be able to conceive. That I still have some fear and emotional baggage left after that miscarriage. So her advise was to be positive about everything and try to analyze whether there is still that fear in me. I should be emotionally prepared and be fully convinced that I will be able to conceive again and that I will have a healthy pregnancy.

So she gave me part of my constitutional remedy to release all that leftover emotional baggage in to be able to move on fully. After that she also checked my cervix and I was really releasing a lot of heat. My discharge was also brownish which means that I am also having some liver flush. Tying it all together, the liver represents our emotions as well and the reason why I was having some release was a result of my emotional turmoil last week. This also explained why there was so much heat when she was checking my cervix.

A new medicine was also prescribed to improve my cervical mucous in time for my ovulation period. I'll be seeing her again by January and she said that maybe this time it will already be a pre natal check up.

I said, I hope so too....

good luck on your quest to get pregnant! one of my friends had to wait almost ten years before having a baby but when she did, she got triplets! :) hoping you also get that kind of miracle. thanks for dropping by my blog!

hi dr_clairebear, thanks for the inspiring message. having one will be more than enough and having twins will surely surpass our expectations.

Please try some L-Arginine, an amino acid. 1000 mgs a day to start! Also, if you are very thin, this can make ovulation more difficult. Good luck, I have counseled many women about this! :)

Hi Daisy, thanks for the advise. I'll look into that and try to see where I can buy it :)

I noticed your exercise regime and it seems like you are very disciplined with it. Being fit is very benefitial for childbirth but i know that too much exercise has affected my own menstrual cycle. When i had more body fat, my periods used to be heavier, more mucous during the ovulation period.

Not sure if this following tip will help at all, the very least it could do is provide variation to your sex life - but i figured it's worth a shot because i also noticed your post on having a retroverted uterus which was an issue for me too.

One strategy which worked - get your partner to climax first, then insert a dildo-like device to climax with yourself afterwards. This can help to push the sperm further towards the opening of your cervix during orgasm.

There's a higher chance of a breech positioning of the baby with a tilted uterus during pregnancy - so do keep your eyes out for this if you get lucky.

Wishing you all the best on your journey.
