Curious, eat Brazil nuts. They help increase progesterone because they contain high amounts of selenium. Eat 5-6 each day, especially during the luteal phase. I have looked into it a lot and it does make sense, they do contain a huge amount of selenium, usually the advice is 1-2 nuts each day and this is plenty to see an overall improvement in health, but for those ttc, 5-6 each day is recommended. I'm doing that this cycle and have been for almost all of it so far. As well as the pumpkin seeds and almonds and probiotic yoghurts. I have to say, probiotic drinks, yoghurts or supplements are vital for good gut health, which in turn is essential for balanced hormones.
Also acupuncture is excellent for regulating cycles and helping hormones balance. My cycles have felt better since having acupuncture. My temps also seem more level. So much so, I only want it for anxiety now.
Isn't agnus cactus meant to help too? I'm sure I have read it helps.
Sadako, I usually start testing at about 7dpo but previously have tested from about 6dpo because I'm a weirdo and know I won't see a positive that early, but I do it anyway because I can't help myself lol
I don't know what is with me today, but I have felt over emotional all day from the moment I woke. Someone almost copped an unfortunate one from me earlier as well but instead I just walked through town crying all the way home and then cried some incoherent rubbish to my husband about the awful woman I encountered and then did some meditation and fell asleep. I think I'm over tired, but I'm hoping it's a sign progesterone is higher this cycle
