in Trouble TTC
Just wanted to drop a line to say hello and see if I can hang out with you guys! I was on this board before when we were first having trouble, but took a break from all things TTC for awhile and when we started back up I thought it might happen right away (stupid, right?). Anyways, here we are in 2015 and still dealing with the crap that is IF and I'm in serious need of a new attitude for the new year. I think connecting with others who get it may help relieve some of the stress. I'm all ears if anyone has additional suggestions for dealing with the heartache.
Well thanks for reading and I look forward to getting to know you ladies better. Happy New Year!

    Thanks ladies! @rainbowbridge14‌ Not sure therapy is for me, but I had looked into joining a Resolve group and never ended up going. Maybe I'll try that again.

    Welcome! I've been using the Circle + Bloom meditation series to help deal with stress and improve my sleep. I also find this forum a very helpful outlet for my feelings... and it makes things easier to know there are others going through similar journeys. I hope you find something that works for you

    Official diagnosis: Unexplained IF. I am 32. I have low ovarian reserve (low AMH), and poor egg quality. I've also been diagnosed with mild glandular developmental arrest (lining problems, detected with EFT).

    We are using open ID donor sperm. IUIs #1-7=BFN. IVF September 2014 antagonist protocol, 8R,5M,3F, 5 day transfer of 1 morula = BFN. IVF#2 planned for January 2015 (antagonist protocol + HGH).

    @emmuffy‌ Thanks for the suggestion! I recently found an acupuncturist who specializes in fertility and during my treatment I've been doing meditations (I think they are Circle + Bloom, but not sure). I've enjoyed them quite a bit!

    Welcome back! I started going to an acupuncturist to help with my thin lining, but now I go mostly for the stress relief and help with my IF anxiety. I hope that and the meditations help. Best of luck!

    Welcome. I am new here as well. I wanted to say that I too use acupuncture to help with fertility. Not only does it help relieve the stress but my acupuncturist is like a therapist as well. Talking to her since she specializes in fertility has helped as well. My Insurance covers acupuncture so maybe yours will too?
    I never heard of circle+bloom and I just found it on the Web. That sounds like a great resource so I hope you don't mind that I stole that suggestion too.
    Best of luck on your journey. I hope this time around will be successful for you.

    Thanks for the thoughtful replies! I'm glad so many of you are finding acupuncture and meditation to be helpful. @Karenb676‌ That's awesome that acupuncture is covered for you! Mine's not, but for right now it seems worth the extra expense.
