I think you should take something to enhance your natural stuff, like green tea.

I love green tea.. does it really help?? I will start drinking more of it. Does it matter if it's the instant ones? I have the ones in the packets that you just add to water. Will those work, or should it be a hot tea?

Well as of midnight I am one day late. I feel like TOM is about to come though, so it might just be late.

I've given that thought up whenever i am late. I'm always late. I never know how my cycle is going to be. I have to be a LONG time late to think I'm pregnant... and have other symptoms

Welcome I hope this is a short journey for you!

On a different note...why the excess [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] thingie?

 

[Katakalupto]

My guess would be that it depletes a man's sperm reserves.
