Oh, myyyyy goodness! I fell behind on my other thread, and on this one even more! My greatest apologies to those who posted and asked questions. I will respond as soon as possible!
As for me and my program:
I will be honest and come right out and say it. As much as I love pig placenta, it is the damnest hardest thing to incorporate into my program. Well, that and the fish collagen. They both tie for first place. Fish collagen because it is best taken on an empty stomach and I have a diet in which I eat every 2-3 hours (which DOES NOT allow my stomach to ever go empty, really), so this quickly dropped out of my diet. And why the pig placenta? Well, the Maruman I loved but as Rakuten only sells bottles a month before they expire, I could not purchase them in bulk, and the shipping and handling costs with Rakuten got old fast (as well as having to go to my post office every month, and I hate the service--or lack therof-- at my post office!). So, I bought the Otsuka Placenta Jelly from Rakuten once to give it a try, liked it, but decided I would only continue to purchase it from a website called iMomoko which has free shipping and handling if you purchase a certain amount in bulk and ships within the USA. However, they said they would restock and they never did! This was a couple months ago. So I bought another Pig Placenta Jelly from another brand from that website instead, but unfortunately with the way it was advertised as having two different flavors, it was not obvious that the one flavor actually contained no pig placenta, so only 2 of the 5 boxes I bought had pig placenta. This brand, for those who are curious, is called Asahi. If you ever see it in your shopping around, the grapefruit flavor has the pig placenta, and the peach is only collagen skin ingredients.
So, as I have mentioned quite frequently, I get overwhelmed very easily and well, this did it. I am sorry to everyone! I was just, pissed, that I spent all that money and was under the impression that iMokoko would sell the Otsuka again, but didn't. Purchasing pig placenta is not easy, in my experience. So, I took a cycle-long break. After my Luteal Phase last month, I stopped taking everything throughout my Follicular Phase and the following Luteal Phase (which I will be finishing in a day or two, and will resume at the beginning of my next Follicular Phase). I will stick to snoogling again as well, will be cutting out the other massages for now (to avoid overwhelming myself), and will settle to taking my collagen before bed at night with my slow-digesting protein (figure if I am going to take collagen with food in my stomach, it will be best to take it with something that digests slowly so the collagen will more likely be utilized). I will also stick to the Fenugreek and will eventually fade out my multi-herb capsules. I LOVE FENUGREEK not only because of what I have read about it, but from my obvious libido boost which I have never had before! I cannot wait to start up on it again!!!
