Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? Seeing OB in July
QOTW: Do you use anything to enhance fertility (preseed, pinapple core, acupuncture)? Not really. I have been trying to eat more pinapple in my TWW. I have done hypnosis before, and mediation which help with anxiety reduction.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey? Just started Lupron tonight for my upcoming frozen cycle. Projected date is the week of July 14th
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? not now... I'll stop my birth control pills in 10 days so I'll have an appointment once AF shows maybe 2 weeks from now.
QOTW: Do you use anything to enhance fertility (preseed, pinapple core, acupuncture)? I used to.... you name it I probably tried it... nothing worked for me or made any noticeable difference at least..
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Just feeling a little guilty about starting this frozen cycle ... Jack should have been 1 month old and keeping us awake at night not the hot flashes that I'm sure to get from the Lupron!

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? I have my first appointment with an RE on 6/24.
QOTW: Do you use anything to enhance fertility (preseed, pinapple core, acupuncture)? We did use preseed some, but not consistently. I started acupuncture last week, and I took Clomid CD5-9 and am taking progesterone now.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I'm super excited that I didn't start spotting at 2DPO like I did the past two cycles. Even if I'm not pregnant, I'm glad that my cycle seems to be regulating a little. I'm also getting excited about our vacation coming up in a couple of weeks.

Maca is a natural supplement that helps regulate your horomones without actually taking any horomones. My naturopath recommended it as she's had success with some of her patients in aiding in their fertility.
It's essentially a superfood so there are no real side effects.

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? Just started back on BCPs as we start our protocol for a FET at the end of July. So.far.away.
QOTW: Do you use anything to enhance fertility (preseed, pineapple core, acupuncture)? We need to do IVF to get pregnant, so in addition to that I also do acupuncture to help manage the stress of it all.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? The 4th of July is approaching and I mentioned having people over to DH last night. We have a pool and I can't help dreading feeling like I'm arranging for a play date for all my friends and their babies. Labor Day 2013 (mid-cycle for IVF #4), I remember standing on the deck grilling and seeing all my friends with their babies in our pool and I was really sad. I must be a glutton for punishment. :-S
TTC since 10/2010
IUIs # 1-5 = BFFN
IVF # 1(July 2012) = BFN
IVF # 2 (November 2012) = BFP (MIssed MC D&C @ 8w3d on 1/10/13)
Thanks for posting the check in!
Where are you in your TTCAL journey? hopefully near the end. Embryo transfer is tomorrow morning!Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? embryo transfer tomorrow, progesterone check friday, beta on the 27th (although I'll probably poas before that)
QOTW: Do you use anything to enhance fertility (preseed, pinapple core, acupuncture)? nope I just try to eat better and not drink during cycles
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I really want this transfer to work, but I often wonder what kind of mother I will be after I have lost Ben and Conner. Will I love this baby less? Will I resent him or her because I don't have my twins? I really hope that I can be the kind of mother that Ben and Conner and be proud of, but after all that has happened, the whole thing kind of scares me.
@ikrystal Good luck with the transfer! I so much hope it works out for you.
@maybe joleisa I am very sorry the IVF didn't work out.
Where are you in your TTCAL journey? Cycle 2, day 1. After my freak out a couple weeks ago about whether we should go for it or not when I was ovulating, we decided to go for it. However, today AF showed so we're onto the next cycle. I'm glad we went for it because I was able to work through a lot of my feelings and anxiety about starting to TTC again and I feel like I'm in a better place to start this cycle fresh. I will be enjoying some CD1 wine tonight!
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? Nope.
QOTW: Do you use anything to enhance fertility (preseed, pinapple core, acupuncture)? I'm glad you asked this. It reminded me that we did use preseed last time. I had forgotten. We will probably use it again. During my only successful pregnancy (I've had 2 early losses in addition to losing Juliana), I did acupuncture through my first trimester. I don't think it really was the "key" to the successful pregnancy, but I'm willing to do it again. If anything, it's nice to have that time to myself to think. I'm hoping to start back with it next week.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Nothing significant.
