Going to go pick up the dong quai today. I'm also going to increase my intake of the b complex vitamin from 1x/day to 2x/day. I knew the b complex was good for depression, but I was unsure of the doses needed. I've also been going over my cycle history and I'm more certain than ever of the hormonal imbalances. I'll have a better idea of what's going on once this cycle is finished and then I'll know for certain if my luteal phase is too short. I mean, that was my suspicion anyway and why I started taking the vitex and the vitamins to begin with, so this isn't any surprise to me.
DH has been extremely sweet to me the last few days once I explained I was having a dark time again. He has always been my biggest supporter, the voice that tells me I can do it when I'm not so sure I can. He's my very best friend! <3
I'll also be doing a 10 day juice cleanse starting week after next. The goal with that is to reset my body's toxin levels, reboot my immune system and really just cleanse my body as whole. I'm also hoping to lose some more weight, but TBH, I am doing this to see what impact it will have on my mental health. Hoping to see something very positive happen. It doesn't have to necessarily be drastic, just improvement. If the 10 day cleanse goes well, I may end up extending it to a 30 day cleanse. Hopefully I can stand drinking that juice for that long.
All in all, this journey has been a little bumpy to start off with. That doesn't mean I'm about to give up since this isn't JUST about conceiving another baby (although I want another baby VERY badly). This is about improving my quality of life all the way around.
