Who knows? At this rate, we could be having babes around the same time

[Athena]

Sorry Ny. Everything's crossed for next month

[Unhindered]

I had my naturopath appointment yesterday and i am all good for ttc again next month. She changed my herbal mixture and it now tastes really revolting and feels like it is burning my throat, leaving me with a sore throat for hours afterwards. This herbal mix i will continue till my first trimester is over if the pregnancy goes well. If the pregnancy does not go well then it is time for medical testing, which is good to know for those rare moments where i'm "what if'ing" myself.

How are you gemiNY?

Everything is crossed for this month unhindered.

[gemiNy]

Well, I've been really slack with my herbs this month (too much else going on & a bit of depression creeping in), but I should be ovulating in the next few days. It's all going to depend on opportunity now, as B has been waking a lot with nightmares or not wanting to go to sleep in the first place.

Foul-tasting herbs sound promising for you Everything crossed for your next attempt, hon xxx

Here's hoping we'll both be popping out late Autumn babes

[Galaxor]

I have everything crossed for you both, in a massive MASSIVE way. Glad you can stop resisting next month Unhindered!

[Jacaranda]

Fingers crossed for you both!!!
(btw, have you tried diluting the herbs in a bit of water? Best way is to top up the medicine cup with water, "shot", and "chase" as quickly as you can with a full glass of water!!!)

They're fucking feral no matter what you do Even raspberry leaf tincture, which you couldn't taste in juice, but you could SMELL it EVIL!!!

[Unhindered]

Oh yes Jacaranda i did that easy with my old herbs, it was strong but bearable. These new herbs are fucking awful and diluting them even with green smoothie doesn't do much just takes the edge off slightly. I will be ring my naturopath tomorrow as my happy and relaxed headspace has gone and i want it back lol. Hopefully i can take my old herbs and new herbs to help get me balanced again.

Yeah - I was a Naturopath about a decade ago, so I've tried all the tricks I gagged the other day when I tried doing a diluted shot (strong gag reflex, so that usually happens even with yummy shots), so I've gone back to the 5ml herbs in half a glass of water, exhale fully, drink slowly but constantly until all gone, followed by another half/full glass to down all my supplements trick Seems to work the best for me.

I hope you can go back on the happy herbs, Unhindered!
