Hello girls!

Well after a dreaded 1 day wait (usually I get the results by midday, I have been told that my HCG levels have not moved and even after 2 weeks they are still down to 1!

I broke down crying... not so much because of the HCG but because this horrid year is not letting me rest. I am scheduled to have another bloot test on 31/12....and I am thinking that 2008 is making my life hell even until the very last day of the year.

It could be worse. It could have rised but thank God it hasnt.
What myself and the gyno have figured out is that

a) I am severely stressed from the events of this year and this has delayed my period
b) without period here to cleanse blood and leftover HCG, I am still at 1.
c) Because of stress my metabolism and immune system have become sluggish and maybe I am not dumping toxins and excess hormones out of my body as I should

on 27/12 we are expecting friends form overseas.... when I have my blood test done I am a mess all day intil they give me the result. How on earth do I go on in a merry way when they are here? It will be New Years Eve as well, what a difficult day it will be.

Despite all this I am determined to get this demon down to zero.

My plan is to aid my body with detoxification as my GP said that leftover hormones clear through the liver which then get out throug urine.

SO here is my plan:

1.
I am going to have daily tea called DETOX from Clipper - tastes horrible but has ayurvedic elements in it and herbs such as turmeric, rosemary oregano etc.

2.
Will drink 2.5 litres of water EVERY DAY NO EXCEPTION so I get more frequent urination

3.
I will continue to take my multivitamin, EPO, flaxseed and will introduce some coQ10 tablets as they are a powerful antioxidant.

4.
Will commence doing Yoga every day like I did once upon a time (I do it at home and it is amazing to see what effect it has-I was so stupid for stopping it and letting my life get the better of me

5.
I have booked for my mum and I to have a full day spa treatement (cost $860-ouch) but well worth it. This includes body detox, a wrap, lymphatic drainage etc... the works.
We are booked in for Tuesday-7 hours of pampering.
I figured after what I have been through this year 800 dollars is a small cost to pay.

6. Will go to bed by 10:30pm every night.
The body dumps toxins and excess hormones through the liver between 11pm& 12am and if you are awake then this doesnt happen.

To cut a long story short, I am checking my self into my own personal Rehab.
I am determined to get this sticky HCG down to zero as I am quite over it really.

We have one last funeral this Sunday for my husbands grandma, but I am planning to pu my self in lala land and not get too emotioally upset... she was 100! This is my coping mechanism.

In the next 2 weeks aiming to get a period & HCG down to zero.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for all your support... do let me know if there is anything else I can do to get it to zero, I would greatly appreciate that!

Thanks so much
