Hi guys! Sorry for my absence, I've been reading along, but have been feeling down in the dumps about my stupid cycle. Well... I'm not in limbo any more! Hoooray! I was never so happy to see the .

@pisces- So sorry to hear that about the deaths. :( Is DH in the military? Keeping my fingers crossed as you approach O.

@intotrouble- That's awesome about your friend's BFPs!

@LSchrader- Glad you are feeling good and not stressed. :)

@miraclemama- Saw your etsy store. I like the beanies. I had a crochet shop for a little while, but I got burnt out. :-P Good luck with it!

@Ants- Any news?

AFM - I'm feeling great now! So relieved to have that never ending cycle over with!

I have stumbled upon something I'm EXTREMELY excited about. I subscribe to TEDTalks on YouTube (which are amazing btw) and this one popped up in my feed and I watched it and my brain nearly exploded. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vKRj9yV8pI So I ended up buying her book and have been reading it, I was eager for AF to show up because I want to do this reset and see if it regulates my cycle/hormones. I will definitely let you guys know how it goes.

@Sky
Hi Girlie, sorry you are feeling down. You shouldnt becasue at least you can try again this month.

For me, No sign of but I have a feeling shes coming.

I saw the video WOWW shes a great speaker.
Im going to buy her book but I googled it and found this.

Week One

Focus on: Sprouted and Fermented Foods

Some of my favorite and healthiest sprouted and pickled foods are sauerkraut, kimchi, bean sprouts, broccoli sprouts and sprouted Ezekiel bread. These foods contain prebiotics and 3-endole-carbinol â?? two key micronutrients that help the body metabolize and break down estrogen. This is important during the first week as estrogen begins to rise (if you have a cycle).

Week Two

Focus on: Raw Juices and Fresh Veggies

I recommend veggie juice made from beets, lemon, kale, apple, celery and ginger along with any fresh, raw veggies. Raw fruits and vegetables are important because you experience a surge of estrogen during this week, and they provide the antioxidants and fiber your body needs to break down and move estrogen out of the body quickly. Most importantly, raw juices and fresh veggies also ensure that the liver gets the micronutrient glutathione, which is required to break down estrogen. We cannot bottle glutathione â?? itâ??s only available in raw fruits & vegetables.

Week Three

Focus on: Grains and Greens

Eat quinoa, buckwheat, bok choy, kale, escarole and swiss chard. In week three, there is both a surge of estrogen and progesterone and then a decline. This affects brain chemistry, and ultimately, our mood. Grains provide B vitamins, which give your body the building blocks to produce serotonin to help keep moods stable. Greens contain calcium and magnesium, which help your body use the hormones you do have efficiently. Grains and greens combined provide your body with plenty of soluble fiber to help move estrogen out of the body as quickly as possible.

Week Four

Focus on: Healthy Fats and Root Vegetables

Eat salmon, avocados, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots and beets. During this week, hormone levels shift toward their lower levels and the essential fatty acids help stabilize mood and energy. Additionally, root veggies give the body vitamin A, which is required to help the liver process estrogen.

A Note on Soy

You may have noticed that I donâ??t mention soy products very often. There is a reason for this. In my experience, women with estrogen-dominant conditions, like PCOS, fibroids, ovarian cysts, infertility and low libido, have a harder time including this as a significant part of their diet. So often we tend to overconsume foods that are touted as health foods. Traditionally, Asian cultures consume no more than two teaspoons of fermented soy a day, which has been shown to be health-promoting, while more than that quantity becomes problematic. Soy products contain high levels of phytoestrogens that mimic the bodyâ??s natural estrogen hormones. If youâ??re struggling to break down what youâ??re already producing, adding more to your taxed system can make your symptoms worse

@Ants- Oh, yes! I'm feeling good now that AF has finally reared her ugly head. I was just feeling down because I thought my cycle would never end! :-P

I found that after watching the video too! Haha! The book goes into a lot more detail, there is a 4 day cleanse diet that goes before the regular cycle food guidelines that's meant to regulate blood sugar. I'm reading about it right now! So glad I bought the book. I can't wait to get started.

Hi everyone and welcome to the newbies!

Just popping in to say good luck tomorrow @jsit and @tiff - can't wait to hear your news!

Good luck too to all the ladies approaching O - this seems like am important cycle date wise!
