Buliej - CONGRATULATIONS!!
Wishing you the stickiest little bundle, I know this is a difficult time full of worry but you are pregnant!! Take care of yourself and your precious little baby. congratulations again - wonderful news!
Buliej- just wanted to pop in quickly and officially congratulate you on your BFP Wishing you the most enjoyable and uneventful next 8ish months oxo
to everyone hope things are well.
AFM- I'm still just laying low and thinking I might rev things up a bit so to speak in terms of supplements, herbs etc. and other things I could be doing to help our cause. I've bought The Fertility Cure by Randine Lewis and I'm going to look at my diet and give it a major overhaul and I was thinking of starting royal jelly.
Hi everyone! just wanted to stop in and wish you all the best, and hoping for more BFPs in here soon
Julie, hope things are going well...been thinking of you, I know how scary it is early on
Dutchie- that book sounds good, best of luck , so sorry things didnt work out this time, it's so tiring, but i hope you can re-energise and that your BFP is close
afm- thinking of delaying IVF until next year sometime, and trying naturally in the meantime and maybe taking a holiday. DH and I just feel like we need a bit of time for us, and like we need a break from constant TTC focus. Am not on here so much, but will probably start posting more again ...miss chatting with you all
buliej congratulations!!! What wonderful news, hope you're well and everything goes smoothly.
Infinity, hoping all is well with you.
Dutchie hope you're well and enjoying your little 'break'. How are you going with supplements etc? Looks like we're on the same page, I've just been given "The Fertility Diet" by Sarah Dobbyn and have started bee pollen as well
Possums, so glad you dropped in. have been thinking about you and wondering how you were doing. I think a TTC break sounds like a good idea, I've been on my first break in years and it's been quite good for me I think. It was definately time for me to start to live a bit again, hoping that your break does the same for you. I must admit that i haven't been able to completely 'turn off' the TTC thoughts but it's been a relief in some ways to be doing nothing about it for now. I say take that holiday and have a fabulous time! You sure deserve a treat.
Dutchie - I might look up that book and give it a try - what do you think of it so far?
Anyos - hi! bee pollen? is that for egg quality? what does it taste like? Good luck with it.
Hello to everyone else, hope you are all doing well. xx
AFM - thinking about calling my FS to have a chat about what to do next but to be honest I'm a bit frightened to go back in just yet. I'm still taking my vitamins and watching my diet. DH is taking all his vitamins and I've made him stop taking his acne medication. He's been on it for years and I've always wondered if it could be affecting anything. I'm fairly anti medications (so down reg was a nightmare for me!) so i'd prefer we were both not taking anything except vitamins or natural things. Time will tell, just got to get my mind right now and we'll be back into it.
I underwent my 14th IVF cycle and received the news that i have a BFP (yesterday BT @ 16DPO was 55) However due to taking immune suppressants i have also started to get infection pain again, vent though all my test with the professor came back clear!
Today i have some more BT done with my GP and some swabs and when i called for the results was told i need to come in and see my GP, HCG has increased to 84 in 24hours. However i have been here all too many times, this is going to be our last TF and we are now looking to surrogacy, i think i read somewhere that someone else was going to look at an Indian agency?
so just wanted to vent a little, BBL with GP results.
Infinity - I got bee pollen granules in honey which I just add to my smoothies, so no weird taste. Mind you with the herbs and thousands of vitamins that I'm on, it wouldn't make a difference if it tasted a little funky Its meant to be for egg quality and overall fertility. ATM I'm on:
Multivitamins
Calicum-Magnesium
Vitamin C
Iron
CoQ10
Vitamin E
Flaxseed oil
Probiotics
Selenium
Tyro plus/Organo Tyrobalance
zinc
Wheatgrass
DHEA
Bee Pollen
Aloe vera
Folic acid
Herbs/Tribulus Forte/Detox formula when not cycling
This is all based on the Jocelyn centre's program + the fertility diet book by Sarah Dobbyn
Loula!!!! Just amazing. So happy for you. Will keep everything crossed for you and sending millions of sticky vibes. I understand this is a difficult time but am praying that it's definately your turn now. xxx
Buliej - yep DH takes Menevit, but only since last month - before he was just on zinc and folate. Here's hoping it makes a difference.
Anyos - do you rattle when you walk? lol Wow, that's a lot of stuff. Will be looking into some of the things in your list to see if they could help me in any way. Taking all those vitamins just has to get you your BFP next time.
thankfully don't rattle but maybe I just don't hear it... When we were strictly on the Jocelyn centre program we were blessed with two healthy bubs, so I'm hoping that being back on it helps us again. Franchesca is a little hard core but she gets the results! Their website has some info that you can download Natural Fertility Management

results are still not in so now i have to wait for tomorrow, however white blood cell count is extremely elevated (indicating infection). emailed FS and have not had a reply
infinity- I'm still waiting for the book to arrive (bought it off ebay for like $10- bargain) so I can't tell you what it's like so far. I believe it focuses a lot on eastern medicine and therapies and TCM. Can't wait for it to arrive.
anyos- I'm doing fine with supplements I'm on fish oil, folic acid, BM Conceive Well, I take herbs from the AP (not sure what they are called, they look like little rabbit droppings) and I take organic wheatgrass. I'm also going to start taking royal jelly in tablet form, you said you take bee pollen which one/brand do you take and are they tablets?
BOL with it all I'll have my fingers crossed for great results for both of us.
Possums- A break can be just what the doctor ordered sometimes. I hope you have a blast reconnecting with DH and not having TTC the main focus. I look forward to chatting with you whenever you're ready to return.
Loula- a quiet congratulations to you hun. I hope your infection clears up and you recover quickly. Sending you a truckload of the stickiest sticky vibes and like infinity, I'm praying that it's your turn.
OMG!! loula i am so so so very excited and happy for you!!! i know that it must be pretty hard for you to feel happy or excited, i hope and pray that everything can be sorted out and that you get to have your forever baby, your levels look awesome and what a nice rise from 55 to 84 thats and awesome jump in 24hrs woohoo xxx thinking of you sweetheart
OK, so I figured it was time to get back into this thread after a few years
Last cycle I just didn't even think to pop in anywhere except for my journal, so will be joining you guys in here from now on (lots of new faces since I've been in here - its been a while )
Lou - Just wanted to say you know I'm holding your hand as always hun.... I'm smiling from ear to ear for you & DH.... I'll stay confident for you until you can catch up with me ..... they can FIX this infection, I just know it xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Best of luck to everyone in their current cycles/treatment.... and congrats buliej
