Peaked

Got this update from a woman I assisted in helping her to conceive. She had a previous loss and her cycles were all over the map from birth control. Literally 2 months of my advice and she is pregnant with a happy and healthy bambino! Dm me if you what you're doing isn't working and want to work with someone who can help you get that BFP! ... I'm accepting new clients!

September is Deaf Awareness Month. This is my story... When I was just 18 months old I fell down a flight of stairs. Knocked unconscious. Luckily no damage and made a full recovery, or so the doctors thought. We didn't find out until later that I had some pretty significant brain damage that resulted in 2 teeny tiny scars on my brain but it was enough to cause to me slowly start losing my hearing on my left side. My mom and doctors tried everything. ... Hearing aids didn't work. My doctors called my damage to be severe, so the nerve endings that could stimulate any kind of hearing was completely "dead" meaning hearing aids were moot. I was told I basically had to wait for science and technology to advance. Fast forward a few years and I was suggested a Cochlear implant. This would only serve to send anything I was hearing from my good right ear to my left. It involved brain surgery to implant it on the side of my skull. I was use to my one-sided sound so I decided, against a lot of suggestions from others, to forego the implant and wait for technology. I'm 36 now and still waiting. Now with Covid, the hearing impaired are set with another hurdle. The masks are mandatory, and I wear one and expect everyone else to when needed. But I'll be the first to admit, that I struggle hearing others. Normally I read lips in crowded or loud places to piece together what others are saying. When I mention to someone I am hard of hearing and if they could please speak louder, they do and try. But some people are just soft spoken and more often than not I am left with just smiling and nodding with no fucking clue what you are saying. I have no idea what surround sound is I strategically place myself at tables & with friends in the best places so I can hear & be included Many people have thought I was a "bitch" because I ignored them. I simply didn't hear them. When I hear anything, I always think it's coming from my right. Always. It can be embarrassing. I can sleep more soundly than you by sleeping on my good ear, basically plugging out all the noise If you whisper in my hear & say "can you hear this" Yes, I can because sound travels See more

I've been on both sides of the coin, and all I can say is people want to be helpful and offer hope. They don't realize that their comments can come across flippant, hurtful, or even personal. Women hold a lot of self blame for not being able to become pregnant. What is wrong with their bodies? Why can't they do the one thing they were put on this earth to do? Everyone else seems to have no problem getting pregnant except me? When it's not happening, and a woman is on ...fertility drugs, tracking cycles, working with multiple practitioners, relaxing is about the hardest thing you can do. She was relaxed the first few months, thinking her body would do what it was supposed to. That it would come easily as it had for all her friends. With every passing month and each negative test, her ability to "relax" over the whole TTC journey, became impossible. If you have no advice or words, the best thing you can say is "I'm sorry you are going through this" Boom. That's enough.

I like my morning coffee just as much as the next person, and usually, a cup of coffee or 2 daily isn't anything to think twice about. When it comes to TTC and pregnancy, well that's different. Coffee, in moderation while pregnant is typically safe. Doctors recommend no more than 200mg of caffeine a day. If you are trying to conceive and you have been trying for several months, it might be time to switch to decaf. ... If you really want to go full balls to the walls to get pregnant, act, and behave as if you are pregnant right now. No Caffeine No Alcohol No Raw Fish and definitely no Smoking! So, my point is, if you have been trying to get pregnant, and it's not happening, look at your routines and habits to start. * * * * * #ttc #fertility #fertilityawareness #cycles #menses #tryingtoconceive #pregnant #pregnancy #fertilitydoula #doula #canada #canadian #canadiandoula #fertilitysupport #fertilityhelp #vancouverisland #vancouverislandfertility #victoriabc #islandfertility #coffeeandfertility #coffeeandpregnancy #coffee #caffeineandbabies #caffeine #decaf #doallthethings #nodrinking #nosmoking See more

You know all those yucky words that are associated with our vaginas and cause others to cringe? Cervical mucus Discharge PH Yeast... But it's all important and are signs of our vaginal health. Yes, I said vaginal health. Put the douche down, that's not what I mean. Women who have unbalanced PH in their vaginal environment (flora and fauna right?), reoccurring infections like yeast infections or BV, irregular discharge or smells should seriously look into a women's specific probiotic made for vaginal health. The 3 strains most proven to help your girl out are: Lactobacillus acidophilus Lactobacillus rhamnosus Lactobacillus reuteri The last one, lactobacillus reuteri is harder to find, but there are a few out there, I buy mine on Amazon. You are probably wondering how this relates to fertility. Have you heard of Candida? That is a fungal overgrowth of yeast (yeast infections) that multiply rapidly, changing the PH and environment of your vagina, so those little spermies are killed off faster than your typical hostile vagina :) Which is a whole other conversation! * * * * * #ttc #fertility #fertilityawareness #cycles #menses #tryingtoconceive #pregnant #pregnancy #fertilitydoula #doula #canada #canadian #canadiandoula #fertilitysupport #fertilityhelp #vancouverisland #vancouverislandfertility #victoriabc #islandfertility #vaginalhealth #candida #yeastinfections #probiotic #healthyvagina #vaginalPH #PHinvaginas See more
