Hey everyone. So I’ve been trying for 4 years, and in those 4 years I’ve done some crazy things in hopes I will get pregnant. Things from acupuncture, to tai chi, to herbal medicines. I consider those pretty normal practice.
I think on the crazier side I’ve done the following:
-
Ate Royal Jelly every day because I heard it increases your egg count (I HATE honey)
-
I wore a piece of string around my stomach for two months straight. My mother brought it home from a monastery and told me it works. (I was desperate)
-
I went months wearing the evil eye EVERYWHERE I went
-
I tried an insulin resistant diet…I read that insulin resistance is a cause for CM. Actually, I’m still currently doing this one.
-
I operated under the principle of “If you build it, it will come.” When we bought our current house (three years ago) I had a door put in my bedroom leading to a potential baby room. This room is not to be used, it’s just empty space. (This was probably the craziest)
-
I know there is SO much more – I just can’t think of it right now.
My question is this: Have any of you done something that was completely out of character in the name of getting pregnant?
- Please note, none of the above have worked to date for me, and all ideas came from the internet or my mother, none were RE recommendations.
