P + 2 Days

And we're back on the waiting game. Last Saturday was to be the start of my period if I was on a 28 day cycle but no and nothing yesterday or today either, which doesn't surprise me because I don't feel like it's on its way at all. The naturopath was encouraged with my progress when I saw him on Friday and I now have new ovary tuning drops. Oh yes, the herbal wonders he can pull out of his bag never cease. Apparently, he couldn't start me on them before a first period because they wouldn't be very effective but now that things have been "kick started", as he says, this will help to make me regular. He claims that women will often have one ovary that is lazier than the other, which can make cycles of varying lengths since one can be more regular and quicker to ovulate than the other.

I often surprise myself with how trusting and probably uncritical to a fault I am with medical professionals. Not all the time, but often I take what they tell me to without too much fuss. And with pharmaceuticals you have more chance doing internet research about what they will do to you since half the time the herbal remedies are less than descriptive about what they contain. As I write this I think again that I'm kind of nuts for saying ok, but I swallow it all daily. And I wasn't totally uncritical in this case. When Dr. L suggested I take this stuff, I specifically voiced my concerns about taking something else that manages my cycle. After all this trouble, I won't be doing any of that anytime soon. He assured me that this would only assist with what my body wanted to do on its own anyway. It tastes like absolute hell but at P + 2 I may need more assistance. Damned optimism. When you have low expectations you're less likely to be disappointed.
