PMS and DH surgery

AprilDrew04AprilDrew04 member
in Secondary IF
So...I have been just hanging out waiting for DH to have repeat vericocele repair surgery...which is finally this Thursday! While waiting I began taking some herbal supplements in order to improve my cycles. And if the more regular cycle lengths, slightly heavier periods, and cyclic mood changes are any indication...I think they may be helping. Before I was having irregular cycles, non-ovulatory cycles, and extremely light periods. Now everything seems to be working a little more "normally".

DD conceived after 3 years of ttc.
MFI - DH had varicocele repair and took Clomid to get DD b. 02/2010

TTC #2 since 6/2010
10/2012 DH diagnosed with Epilepsy
A few failed IUIs summer 2012 and 2013. 
DH taking clomid and waiting to see if he needs another vericocele repair. 
Hoping for a 2015 baby or babies. 
Wishing, hoping, waiting.

    I've taken those in the past and also see a difference when I'm on them. I love hearing other people's herbal success stories.

    Ok, I'm watching Jurrasic Park with DH and it took me 3 reads to realize this did not say velociraptor. Your way makes much more sense ;)

    I did the same thing. And I'm not watching Jurrasic Park. Love the meme. I may change all of the school computer screens to be a velociraptor today, just for fun :)
