Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to pop in and wish BG every best wish for today!!!!
You must be so excited to what seems like forever to get to this point!!!
I hope you've bought yourself a few good books or dvds so you can come home and do absolutely nothing for the rest of the weekend!!!
All of my thoughts are with you today!!!

Sonya - Glad to hear you are ready to go ahead again!!! Keep positive sweetie xxx

Lou - Fantastic news!!! You sound so full of life again!!! You never know, that baby may just make it in there by June, hey???!!!
With the water - I used to have a problem drinking a lot ,too. (They say 2 Lt, but 2 - 3 Lt per day when on cycle!!!)
My NP advised me to drink it at room temperature (took me a little while to do this, but I've found its much easier).
According to ancient chinese beliefs, a baby can't be conceived or doesn't want to be anywhere that isn't warm, ie the womb, so room temp water is better for this reason anyway (This is what I've read from a few Chinese Medicine books anyway!)

BW - I'm sure you've got my email, but your tea is on its way!!!

Ellie - Still thinking of you sweetie, I hope its getting easier for you (If thats possible) xxx

Jo - Your first cycle sounds like my first 2!
My eggs were apparently not that great quality because of my endo, too.
I know you said you weren't that big on natural therapies, but the reason we started seeing the NP & had acupuncture was to increase the quality of our embies.
Both DH & I are taking stuff now (me more so than him) - and on the last cycle our eggs & my lining were much much better.
Our 2 blasts were hatching, which is the best they can be before going back in.
We couldn't even get embies past the 8 cell stage in previous cycles.
I also bought a book recommended to me about the benefits of acupuncture & herbs whilst doing AC... it also just has advice on different foods to increase in your diet to help boost egg & sperm quality.
Its called Fertility & Conception by ZIta West - about $40 but well worth it.

To everyone else -

Will prob pop back in today at some point - Its a lazy day for me!!!

Talk Soon,
Love Holly
