SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements- Vitex
- folic acid
- Antihistamine
Iron supplements for low iron levels after miscarriage (lost a lot of blood)
DH Supplements- Licorice Root
oliveleaf extract
Any additional supplement info? Dh took deglycerized licorice root - I only found out later that it's less effective than plain licorice root and he only took 450mg once a day.
He took olive leaf extract 1000mg a day.
I started taking vitex myself even though it wasn't in plan - I was checking ovulation with cb digital test so wasn't stressed about it messing up cycle.
Did you do anything with Ions? rose quartz jewellery, salt lamp in bedroom, lots of showers, lavender shower gel and lavender aerosol
Moon Phase during conception? New Moon
Did you use any Old Wives Tales? I put baby girls outfit under bed.
Things that make me feel great about my sway: I did the diet fairly strictly for 8 weeks,I lost half a stone, I stayed within limits,and was delighted with moon phase as my ovulation was always in full moon. I ovulated also in April which is supposed to be a good girl month,the chinese gender calendar even says girl so if I don't have a girl it's just not meant to be!
Things that make me nervous about my sway: I took 2 berroca vitamin tablets to bring on af as i heard that vit c can bring on af - I was waiting 6 weeks for first af after miscarriage and was also experiencing major head spins at night so I panicked and felt i needed them - what is done is done, you can't be perfect.
Things worth mentioning: I had a missed miscarriage (non-sway pregnancy) 9 weeks prior. this was my second cycle or my first attempt after first af after miscarriage. I was so lucky to get pregnant first attempt cause it was hard core but I just hope now for a healthy babs in January - please God!
