Lunaception & Earthing Updates

Okay, this is my assessment of my Lunaception and Earthing experiments. My April cycle started mostly on its own because I hadn't finished a full 2 weeks on the progesterone cream before AF was trying to start and I started spotting on CD39 of that cycle with AF starting 3 days later. My May cycle (the last one) I didn't even start the progesterone cream yet because I was waiting but with AF starting today that cycle was 39 days. Maybe I'm beginning to regulate to a possible 39 day cycle.


I do believe the Lunaception is helping a lot even though my cycles are not quite matching the moon phases yet. My husband and I have both started sleeping in a pitch black room as well as wearing sleep masks to block out any missed light sources. I am going to stop using the nightlight at the full moon until my cycle regulates its self for at least 2 cycles. I do, however, need to get a new BBT thermometer because I think mine is highly inaccurate. If I went by my most recent BBTs, I would think that I had possibly O'd about 2-3 days ago because I had a week of low temps then the last 2 days I had temp rises, but AF ruined that theory by showing her ugly head.


On to the Earthing. I do really enjoy Earthing but find I often do not have enough time to devote at least a half hour a day to do it. Most days I'm lucky if I get 10 minutes in. I can say that the days I do it, I experience less pain in my feet and ankles (I have always had foot and ankle issues) as well as less pain in my back the days that it bothers me.


Earthing makes me feel peaceful, and honestly, it helps me relax before bedtime if it's not too hot outside. I think I would do it just for the stress relieving benefits alone, but I do feel more, excuse the pun, grounded and even-tempered the days I practice it. I would love nothing more than to be able to walk around barefoot outside all the time, but it's not always that easy.


To sum it all up, if you have irregular cycles, for any reason, try Lunaception. It's actually very easy to do and once you get used to sleeping in a pitch black room, it's hard to adjust to sleeping in even a dimly lit room. As for the Earthing, if you need a stress reliever and can't find anything, then try it. It's not dangerous unless you aren't careful where you walk.
