Trouble TTC

We're trying "naturally" until August

Well we had the post-op today after the lap and as I suspected he gave us the official unexplained IF diagnosis. Even though he found two very small spots of endo on my right ovary he does not think it's causing our problems since he saw I also had just ovulated from my right ovary.  He said the lap may increase our chances 5% (giving us a whopping 7% chance total). DH and I decided to just try naturally the next three cycles while doing acupuncture and some chinese medicine (herbs). If by mid July we are not KU then we'll do 2 rounds if IUI with Femara this time and if that doesn't work then we'll look to IVF in the fall/winter.  I'm excited to kinda take a break and see what happens.  I'm going to try and not temp or use OPKs and just have a lot of sex. We shall see.

  • Good luck!

    Have you taken the herbs before? I found that they really made a difference. My LP lengthened and I O'd earlier than ever.

  • Good luck!! Sometimes it's nice to not have to worry about the doctors all the time. And I've heard really good things about acupuncture. Which herbs are you looking into?

    Thanks, we've already done 2 and think maybe 2 more will work but I just can't do it right now. I'm kinda spent.

     She has me on Weng Jin Tang right now (a combo of several herbs) and then she'll switch me to something else for the 2ww. Not sure what they will be. I only took it 2 weeks then I took a break this last lap cycle and now back on it again.

    If there's one thing I've learned while waiting my turn,
    it's that in each life some rain falls but you also get some sun.

    No, not really but we were told we couldn't have sex for two weeks so I put it out of my mind. You?
