God, Amy, that sounds horrendous. That is so awful. I am still keeping fingers crossed for you.

Sarah, that would just be so hard. I can't imagine how hard. I one friend who has at least 5, and she now has 2 boys. I know that's just one person. I assume you've probably looked into this already but did you have your NK cells tested?

Pos, how you going? Your poor old dad. So stressful for you guys too. So glad that it's not cancer but hope that the treatment starts helping him soon. Also as for everyone being pregnant, it's just so hard when you're going through treatments and TTC, isn't it? I am always being "ambushed" by pregnant people, who wait til big public events to tell everyone how they don't know how they got pregnant (usually with their third child). It's called having unprotected sex, honey (for you! for me, it's pumping myself full of drugs, going under the knife etc etc). And sometimes I am bit like (because my set (not me) is high functioning lawyer-types who are fairly anal) ... um, you managed not to get pregnant until you were settled down in the big perfect house with the right husband and now you're like "oh gosh, I didn't mean to get pregnant?" ... really?? Anyway, this is clearly just envy and irritation. It is funny the social scripts that people use though.

Emma, hey I totally get those awful mixed feelings. Our first cycle was 15 eggs and 1 "poor" embryo. Didn't take. Our second cycle was 17 eggs and cancelled! Honestly it was hard to say which was worse. Ok, the second was. But the first was so incredibly hard too. I get where you're at. I just hope that the TWW passed as smoothly as possible and that you can make peace with the outcome (and hopefully because it's the outcome you want!!!!). Also I want to mention a friend who had PGD on 10 embryos and none were normal. She was sent away, told she'd never get pregnant. She now has her (second) little boy who is 4 weeks old right now. Natural conception.

Okay I had better go. It's probably 40 degrees in here. Hate Melbourne right now. Totally failed on the caffeine quit too - just too grumpy in the mornings due to the heat. And caffeine raises your core temperature!

As for wheatgrass, I heard it helps with egg quality but for me seems to prolong my cycle length which I am not keen on. Just too stressed with thinking I could be pregnant. Does anyone have any knowledge about it? I actually find the following supplements to be confusing: wheatgrass, vitex and maca. I mean, they all are said to "balance" hormones but how do you know you're out of balance, since it's not like I'm doing daily blood tests and I am no expert. I can't find research which explains exactly which hormones they target and their mechanism of action. Any thoughts?

Good luck to all,
WW
