Good luck tomorrow tammara! I'm for you! My girlfriend just told me her 39 year old sister just fell on her first round of IVF. Stay positive - all you need is one egg and one sperm for success and BOOM! 9 months later you'll be holding your bubba. I read recently that women who undertake a relaxation program (meditation / yoga etc) when doing IVF have a greater success rate, so remember to take time out for yourself.
My fingers are crossed for you too porsche - lets hope those spermies slid through your tubes and right up to your lady egg in waiting.
RiChiChi - has AF arrived? She arrived for me this morning - perfect timing for Valentines day! So my poor DH had to put up with a crabby wife instead of a loving adoring wife today. As for homeopathy - I tried it (along with naturopathy, acupuncture, kinesiology, flower essecences and reiki!) and nothing worked. My FS said to avoid all herbs while on clomid as they can interact, so I reckon acupuncture is your best bet if you want to try something additional. Besides, the Chinese have been doing acupuncture for thousands of years, so it has to be reasonably good to have been around for so long.
becnxavi - getting knocked out can certainly knock you around. I was feeling shabby for quite a few days after my lap. Take it easy....
Keli - I'm also back on clomid now for a few more months and if no luck, off to the IVF clinic. I'm so dreading taking clomid, but I guess it's gotta be done. Do you go a bit 'mental'??? I certainly do!
Re preseed - I know on the belly belly forums there are lots of raving reviews on preseed, but my FS said avoid all lubes, even the so called 'conception friendly' lubes. So unless it's absolutely necessary, we try to avoid using it. But damn clomid doesn't help things sometimes!I guess my FS view is that there is nothing like a natural environment to help conception.
AFM - I start teaching prenatal yoga at the studio I work at next week. I'm expecting that working with pregnant women will bring up some issues for me, but at the end of the day I really do want to help other women to experience the benefits of yoga during this sacred time in their lives. I reckon down the track I'll create some sort of yoga workshop for women TTC - I'm very familiar with the issue!
Take care ladies and enjoy your week. Wishing you all the best wherever you are on your TTC journey.
