Recently, Matia up'ed my Bifido from  from 3/8 to 3/4 then to 1. Last time i saw her, she was planning to up it to 1 1/4 but we decided to wait on it due to a trip i am planning to take for 2 weeks. I had some discomfort with 1 bifido, but thought it was due to my ovuluation, which i am not that sure anymore. I haven't emailed her about it yet, trying to make sure first, so we won't back down to 3/4. also mainly bc that would be so disappointing for me to backtrack for any reason, as my mind recently started racing with wonders if there is some slight chance that she may give me a yellow/green light by the end of this year to pregnancy if all goes well. I just read her post about vertical translocation now, and it made me realize the seriousness of complications involved with not being in full balance before getting pregnant. I know I am ahead of myself again,  but i need to ask those of you who are list 3 moving up, just to have some more realistic time in my head, how long did it take you to move from list 3(in terms of balanced body, not food) to level 4 or 5 where we might get an ok from Matia to go ahead. I remember her saying the second half of treatment moves faster, but i feel like a turtle trying to move ahead.

HI Selichan, Sorry I don't actually know anything about pregnancy related to the above but I was actually hoping to ask you if you wouldn't mind telling me how symptom free you are or how much you've healed from IC in order to be on list 3? 
Good luck with everything! I hope you get the green light soon!

Hi MissCC,
I've been on list 3 for quite some time now, maybe since last november. I believe matia doesnt yet move me up in the diet list, to be able to up my probiotics. I had no problem with mega but had difficulty incorporating bif without reacting. The first 4 months of list 3, i was constantly catching flu/ cold, felt weak, feverish, sore throats. My immune system couldnt handle anyone sneezing in another room, maybe also die-off since both symptoms so similar. The last few months, has been progressively better, if i could have a baby now, i'd b content with my life as is, tolerate this level of discomfort. However, since we upped the bif, i am feeling urethral burning, occasional foggy head, pain with urination again showing me i am not quiet there yet. Most days, i am symptom free, 0-1 discomfort, i can hold my pee up to 3-4 hours if i have to, and not need to know every restroom on my way anymore :) i can tell i am getting better, and past the self doubts, i know matia will get us all through one way or another.
Thank you for your wishes, i hope the best for you, trust your body and matia. She is amazing.

This is a great post re progress. Thank you! As the parent of a child who had autism, I can tell you, I wish I had known about getting my ownhouse in order before I had my child.
