Weekends

I have resorted to not planning my weekends as I know that the plans change pretty much the minute I plan something.  Its been a beautiful weekend here in Sydney, Australia.  I'm focused on my weight loss goals and have all the intentions to stick it out.  I know its only a matter of months until we fly to New Zealand, so its a must that I get this on track.
Am exploring my options in training to be a midwife, that is after I have had one more baby and then that's it for me.  No more children until I have grandchildren and though the thought scares me, I'm looking forward to it.  I just hope in my heart that my children find the right partners that nurture their spirits.  In the time being, I am learning to understand supplements and how they can benefit the body.  I have trialed Vitex with a combination of Pre-natal Supplements and Vitamin B6.  It was important that I get my cycles back on track following a very long absence in ovulating and when you are TTC this factor is by no means a good.  So 4 months ago I started supplementing with Vitex, taking only 1 a day and much to my excitement, my cycles were kick started last month.  You can not imagine how overjoyed I was to welcome them back, so now its an active push to conceive after the long wait.  With the weight loss so far, this has assisted also.  My test were inconclusive and although it was considered to be PCOS, I beg to differ considering my blood work all come back normal.  Apart from low Iron stores, which I have since supplemented with green leafy vegetables and the Pre-natal supplements I am taking.  I feel a lot more healthier and not so drained, although the one thing I am not managing very well is my sleep cycles.  Like clock work I am up in the wee hours and struggling to motivate myself in the mornings. 
Eczema has had its claws on me lately, so I am trying to manage that by natural means.  Salt water is working a treat to heal the inflammation and settle the weeping I experience.  Another factor I looked in to was my progesterone levels, which affects the good bacteria levels in the stomach.  Im feeling that at times thrush has been dancing within, so a good probiotic to balance the flora is needed.
