I am now officially on R n R since Friday. my last day of herbs was Thursday.
I was having insomnia and migraines everyday on the herbs, no herbs and now I am OK. Best 4 days of my life in a long time.
We went to the beach yeaterday.
Today, I spent reading the book "In the Company of a Courtesan" .
I love feeling myself and being myself off drugs and herbs etc.
I have started taking MACA capsules 2 times a day and am going to start L arginine( rec. dose is 16gm a day) but at lower doses.
I am taking an Indian herb preparation "chyawanshakti" for overall health.
We will start Yoga this weekend.
We are walking everyday for 45min.
Next week on, I will have Thursday afternoons off.
We talked to the RE , he said the problem the last time was inability to retrieve the eggs since i have a high ovary and all the mature follicles were on that one. He has suggested a different way to retrieve the eggs should they be on the same one the next time round.
We will take time off till OCT to have some R n R time.
I am thankful for my life.

Sounds like you are in a good place. I am glad for you. I am curious what herbs were causing you headaches. I am currently taking Maca Root as well as Shatavari (Ayervedic) and Tribulus (Bulgarian) in addition to a handful of other supps. I would love to chat about it sometime :). Have a great week and enjoy your R&R.
