Guys... we really have to write a book about this, lol
I always call it Dr Google! I think if someone told us to stand on our heads and drink a magic tea we'd all do it - it's amazing what you can get us to do with the promise it helps!
Sara - I am not sure. I do remember having peppermint tea once during the 2WW (I was at a coffee shop and was off the caffeine). Maybe mildly steep it to be on the safe side if you love your peppermint tea fix?
Buliej - I was TOTALLY prepared to stand on my head if I read it on Google :rofl:
I also recall hearing about tea is that the "initial soak" is the most potent. So if you soak the bag for 1 minute, dump the cup and re-use the tea bag it will be less potent if you don't want the "full strength"

I wonder where Dr Google got its medical degree - he's like our oracle.
Hi ladies,
Wow, this is interesting. Can anyone tell me where I can buy this magic tea? Not sure how I will go with drinking it upside down, but I will definitely try, I have been doing head stands in yoga lately, do you think this would be an ok way to do it. Can I drink it with a straw instead. How long until it works, or is it really magic and works right away?
How exciting!
Heehee, just joking, just dropping in to say hi, and thank you so much for today's posts, they have put a smile on my face, I can just imagine myself upside down drinking magic tea. If you do find this tea, I want it.
Sara, GL with your geranium sniffing, would love to hear if it works, and all the best for a successful EPU next week.
Julie, so happy for you, hope you are doing well
WTH, I wish there was a magic formula:dance:
CP, stick embie stick, hope it is all happening for you and your embie is snuggling in
Hi to everyone else!
:sick: I found tomato juice is worse than wheatgrass...
Lucky no one play any tricks on us on April fools days, quoting its from Dr. Google, we'd do it Im sure....
All jokes aside, I do agree with you WTH, I think sometimes its "game of luck", you really don't know what make it across the line at the end of the day... for us, doing something to help just give us calmness and satisfaction to deal with this whole thing but the end results is still in the hands of God...
CP: agree, used to hate tomato juice. I bought a red vegetable juice in a glass bottle in Wollies which is called Hot & Spicy it also containes other vegie juices (83% tomato) I though it was quite palatable. Also found mixing it with orange juice or alternatively with some tabasco and fresh mint helped a lot.

Hi everyone,
I'm still pretty rotten and am not up to do personals today I'm afraid. 17 good quality eggs collected yesterday, ICSI done on all of them from the frozen sample, and 12 fertilised. They're aiming to do PGD on Monday this time; God willing, we may actually have something to transfer this time around.
Love Kel
Hi Kel - great result :clap: Hope you become more comfortable as the day goes by. Rest up - your work is done. Wishing you all the best for PGD on Monday :goodluck:
Hi girls,
Hope you're all having a great weekend.
Well done Kel, that sounds all good, keeping fingers crossed for PDG on Monday. Sending lots of :pink-babydust: :bluedust: your way - hope you feel better soon, be kind to yourself. If you can, acupuncture can be helpful for the day after EPU.
WTH - thanks so much, will have to send you some flowers, your tips are doing wonders.
CP: Hope the TWW is treating you kindly. Did you get news from your embie? Keeing finger crossed and thinking of you. Just read your blog - which type of German beer did DH go for? Have a great party tonight.
BDT: Sending lots of :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl: for IUI
WLAB: Sending a :hug:
:hello: Buliej
Had a very relaxing bath yesterday with the geranium oil and will have another one today, also added garlic tablets to the mix. Currently sniffing on my wrist and drinking a cup of black tea ;)
This morning had one follie at 22mm, three at 20mm and another three at 14mm plus a few smaller ones of them I think two over 10. So since yesterday there must have been a 14,16 and 17 that grew to be 20mm now, that's a massive growth rate for me. Anyway need to stay calm and keep my marbles - can all still go wrong but very elated, will hear from the clinic later, I guess it may be trigger tonight after all.
Sara
OMG Sara - that is amazing. Can't take any of the credit - it's your body doing such a great job. But it was only in the last couple of days before trigger that I tried the geranium. Small friendly word of warning - pls do not overdo the tea, especially if you have been on zero caffeine ;) Oh and BTW - too much of any essential oil can have the opposite effect. I just wore it on my wrists and sniffed the bottle a couple of times a day (such a gorgeous fragrance). Can't wait to hear the next phase of this originally written-off cycle - sounds like your best one yet :dance:
Sara - sounds really good - let us know when your pick up is
Kel - your results sound good too - I'll keep my fingers crossed as well
Hi to everyone else - I've been having a bit of a rough time - can't post it in this thread, but you can find my other posts in other threads.
WTH: Yes, agree will stop now with the oil as I think I might overstimulate, have started to feel uncomfortablae and E2 was already at 8300 (big leap since yesterday!). I really wonder if this is the effect of the DHEA.
Buliej :hug:
The nurse says trigger still tomorrow, EPU Tuesday at midday. FS wants to give some more time to the 14mm ones, I am a bit scared I may loose the large ones but may just have to rely on my FS, very nervous now.
Sara
Thanks Sara...
Sara - that E2 is very impressive. Well done. You must have some wonderful big un's growing in there :dance: And hooray for yesterday's trigger - no more jabbing. Yippee :D Wishing you all the best for your EPU tomorrow and some wonderful mature quality eggies :goodluck:
Hi everyone, couldn't log in the site over the weekend...but I have also tried to cut down this BB addiction but its hard.
Julie, I hope everything is fine but haven't found any of your post yet. is it in Pregnancy thread? :hug: I am thinking of you...
Sara, best of luck for tomorrow, it all sounds progress nicely and hope will give you some star performer and you dont have to do it again...
AFM, I am not in the most positive state, very much not holding my breath about this one atm...we had so many blasties TF and seems to me, my problem is 'how to make them stick'...my 8-cell did progress and became a blasties and frozen Friday/Sat. But I am not in a hurry to use that until I find out anything wrong with the implantation.
