knowing my body

if anything else, I am thankful that I know my body so well.
My period started this morning.

I'm feeling down so my husband's taking us out for a late breakfast/almost lunch ...Aha! Brunch! :)

I am thankful for Jason and his sweetness. I know how much he wants this too.
I love him so much.

12dpiui #3

It's 12 days past our IUI and my basal body temperature significantly dropped this morning. Bummer.

Huge bummer.
I'm expecting my period tomorrow.

Well..... okay. There must be more that I can do to help my situation.

Battle plan:

I have started going back to the gym regularly

I am taking two spoonfuls of Royal Jelly a day

I've heard a lot of good reviews for the book 'The Infertility Cure', so I ordered it on Amazon tonight!

I also ordered 'Yoga Practices for Fertility' on DVD

I have been eating lots of dairy, fruits and vegis, and have been taking a prenatal vitamin every day


We can do this, we will do this.

We WILL have our baby!

Royal Jelly!! Thank you, little honeybees!

I have made a new discovery and am on the way to becoming my own queen bee!!

and the discovery is...
Royal Jelly!

I'm eating a spoonful of delicious RJ and honey right this very moment!!

Royal Jelly is the main food of the queen honeybee! It is a pure nectar that worker bees supply for her and only her.

The difference between the queen bee and the other female bees is that the queen bee lays up to 2,000 eggs a day. The other female bees are infertile.

The only thing that makes the queen bee 'the queen' is that she is the only one to eat this special Royal Jelly. In doing so, she grows larger, becomes extremely fertile and lives up to 40 percent longer than her worker bees!! (Yes! 40%! In bee time that is 5 to 8 years longer!!)

Royal Jelly is extremely beneficial to humans as well and it is thought to provide many, if not all, of the same positive effects! It balances the hormones and nourishes the reproductive system. I've researched many cases (in the short time that I've known about this- maybe a week) in which women, otherwise infertile, will take RJ and then credit her pregnancy to it's health benefits.

It's also great for your skin and a wonderful way to boost your energy!


I've been taking 2 teaspoons twice daily for about a week and I definitely notice a change in my energy level and all around mood.


I recommend this product to anyone! (Unless you are allergic to bees/bee pollen)


~A toast to my friends the bees!

Here's to longevity, fertility and overall well being!

Thank you little honeybees for all you do!!

Thank you for your help in providing a healthy and strong environment for my future little one/ones! (P.S. I'm not asking for 2,000! Just one will be fine...or two!) :)

You are truly wonderful!
