Um, I remember (after years and years of infertility) finally being pregnant for the first (and only) time of my life.
I savored every moment - knowing it would be the only time at my advanced age.
One of the things I remember was how toasty I was - comfortably so, even during the winter. I didn't need a jacket when everyone else did.
And wasn't uncomfortable like "hot flashes".
It was a wonderful time.
I think you've touched upon something here. Good thread.
I dare say the whole reproductivity arena and either man's ignorance and/or wicked nature in deceiving us all about the need for Iodine is the height of cruelty.
