J.Bear, are you trying to cut all sugar out or just sugary snacks? If it is snacks, I changed my cravings for chocolate for things like sultanas, you still get that instant sugar hit and they're still not great, but slightly better!! Glad you're doing well on the rest of the stuff so far!! Any sign of AF?
Sunbeam, things are moving along for you!! Very exciting!! Any sign of AF for you?
AFM, yep I O'd on day 17, can't believe it, I was so sure this cycle was going to be a bust. I get to start the pessaries tonight (I've only done crinone before so will be interested to see the difference in the side effects) but only one a night at this stage, then if bloods are good on Sunday it will be a transfer on Monday! Woohoo!! My lining was 9.2 on Wed and type three so that was looking good. I am quietly excited but trying to stay realistic. My mantras for the next few days are around trusting my body, trusting my embie, trusting the doctor & trusting the embryologist to choose the right embie out of the freezer! Wish me luck & I'll keep you posted on how it goes!!
im popping myself in here, short story is i have 2 children but have had 5 miscarriages trying to get a 3rd child, we are now going to pgd as they think the most likely problem is from chromosomal abnormalities (im 39).
im starting on Lucrin tonight and will have EPU mid september
brightfuture: fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly the next few days and you get your embie transferred without any problems :-)
jbear: are you just having tests at the moment ?
Jessir: congrats on your pregnancy, how far along are you ?
BooBoo: hi to you, are you just starting out on the pgd journey ?
sunbeam and i know each other so don't think i'm ignoring her if i don't respond to her on here, we talk a lot off BB :-)

So much exciting news going on here at the moment. Hopefully a lot more too.....wishing everyone well!!!
Have just started my tracking cycle and am currently at day 5 and starting blood tests from day 10 to see when I ovulate. Similar to BF I think as looking to transfer 5 days after O. Have been doing accupuncture with this cycle (basically trying anything to up my chances) but apparently my blood is still low (?) according to my accupuncturist so she has given me some herbs to take for the next couple of weeks to help increase my blood. Only prob is they make me throw up! Anyone used TCM for a cycle? Am going to try to incorporate the herbs in some muffins to see if that will help. Been given a list of foods to eat as well that are meant to help. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!!
Just a quickie. I used herbs leading up to my stim but they didn't make me feel sick I feel for you!! My TCM Dr suggested adding honey if it was too strongly flavoured. My own recommendation, not from TCM, would be to not take them on an empty stomach - not sure if that will help you at all but wishing you every bit of the best!
