SO after a much needed hiatus after 2 rounds of clomid with TI, 4 IUIs with injectibles, an IVF cycle, 2 chemical pregnancies, and a summer of trying on our own, I am sad to report that I am not pregnant. I thought for sure that once we switched REs back in April and I got my PCOS diagnosis, which I am now on Metformin for, I would be pregnant, but I'm not. If I do say so myself, I've done a pretty damn good job at remaining optimistic and trudging through, but I can't lie, its getting near impossible to remain hopeful. I was so confident that it was going to happen that I pushed off doing IVF again until November from our initial September start date. Anyway.....I'm back. SIGH!
I've followed the board since I left in April and popped in to support those I know from time to time. I'm sad for those of us that are still here and feel bad that there are so many newbies. However, I am happy that there is this amazing board to help us all through.
So that's the re-introduction that I've been dreading to post. I hope that everyone's stay is short and sweet and we are all blessed in no time.
Welcome back! You started your break right when I joined. I'm sorry you had to come back, but glad that you're here. Hopefully, you can leave us again soon because of a BFP!

Selfishly, I'm glad to have you back around, even though I really wish you'd had the luck of Pixie and JamieBeth.
My 3rd-and-final IUI is scheduled for Thursday and Friday, assuming all goes well at my Wednesday u/s.
In line with your Reiki in a way, I've been really been trying to focus differently during acupuncture, and have been doing a yoga for infertility DVD that has different workouts for the menstrual, follicular, ovulation and luteal phases. And taking my chinese herbs that totally have my in a better place. And my midwife gave me some different herbs, so despite our major IUI/femara/menopur/hCGtrigger/lutealhCG intervention, I'm trying to have some natural stuff in place, too.
Let's get some old timers off this board (except to lurk)!
