Oh Lou, what a hassle for you. I am glad to hear that the new foods etc from the NP are making you feel good - long may it continue. Can you demand blood tests next time??
Megan, i am really shocked and so sorry to hear about your cycle. I wish there was something i could say to help you through. You and DH really have had a such a lot to deal with lately. I hope you can get some idea of what happened this time around.
A big hello to everyone - i hope that you are all well at the moment and wishing some BFPs in here for you all really soon.
Sorry I haven't been around for a few days - life just seems to be crazy busy at the moment!
Megan - so sorry to read your news. It sounds like you have lots of questions for your FS appointment next week. As everyone else has already mentioned, ICSI might be something to consider as it removes another one of the hurdles in the process. Good luck hun and be easy on yourself - you have had a pretty rough time recently.
Ellie - yep, those glass bottles are nasty. I had to get DF to do the first one as I was so worried I was going to break it and destroy it. Also my SIL is a pharmacist and she cut the tendon in one of her fingers a few years ago opening a similar glass vial - it has never been the same since. Do you have a date yet for your FET? I hope you get a good thaw rate on your blasties. Will you transfer both?
Vanessa_guy hi - I find the acupuncture does help me de-stress as I am forced to lie very still and concentrate on my breathing for one whole hour, so I do feel quite calm after each session. I have had a couple of sessions to stimulate my follicle production and then a few sessions after transfer. I am only new to acunpuncture for AC - other ladies here have more experience and might be able to answer more specific questions if you have any.
Holly - sorry to hear that AF has arrived but I guess the positive note is that you are looking nice and regular at the moment. Poor little Luke - he is having a rough trot this winter isn't he. Still bonding with DH over the playstation has gotta be fun!
BW - good luck with Dr S appointment next week. I hope the break from everything helps you and you come back stronger then ever! Take care hun.
Kerri - welcome to BB. I hope that we are able to provide you with information and support on your journey. We are a doing a combo natural therapy with IVF style program. I am doing acunpuncture during the stim phase of my cycles (2 so far - hopefully this is it!) and taking a blend of bush flower essences which my acupuncturist makes up for me. My DF is taking chinese herbs and a mens multi-vit to improve his SA. I am also trying to remember to drink nettle tea each day - something about supporting the liver/kidneys which helps with the drugs we put into our bodies. I think Holly is the guru on that if you want more info!
Sushee - welcome back from your holiday and good luck with TTC naturally. Hopefully you will be another of our miracle ladies just like Diva!
Alicat - hope your EPU went well yesterday. Do you know the results yet? Best wishes for a good result.
Rols - well done on DW's 4th needle. I am glad that she is doing well and what a great phrase: happy as a box of birds. That's so nice and made me smile
Loula - sorry that you didn't end up having a transfer this time but good luck with your natural therapies. Have you looked into Sheoak drops? Apparently it is an Australian bush flower essence that aids conception - I know it is one of the essences that my acupuncturist makes up for me and my chiro's DW was on it before she fell pg. You never know what might happen!
Blizzy - hi and welcome to BB. Hope you enjoy your holiday and rest up for the start of your exciting IVF journey later in the year.
Nothing much going on with me - still waiting for test day and have decided to not POAS because I have never had any luck with them and don't want to jinx myself! Take care all and talk again soon.
