@zamora_spin That sounds like a really fascinating book! Out of curiosity, does it also go into issues of sperm quality? It seems like books/doctors/the general public often neglect to address that literally 50% of the pregnancy is courtesy of the male....fetal DNA and all. Like, it pretty much "starts with the sperm", too, haha!
@rosemaryandthyme The focus is the egg - but yes - sperm quality is discussed in the book as well. There is one sperm focused chapter but many of the action steps she recommends for sperm improvement are discussed in more detail throughout for eggs - avoiding certain toxins, certain vitamins/supplements, and dietary changes are all things that have been studied as to both men and women. It's certainly true that about half the time the issue is on the male side.
1. introduction- I'm amber, I have a 6 year old son, and a 20 month old son, was measuring 8.3 weeks pregnant and ended in emergency D&C due to heavy bleeding and clotting on June 5.
2.Status- I'm 4 weeks post D&C today, still getting postivie HCG tests, blood work tomorrow to test levels and gyno app on July 13.
3. R/R the next person that tells me "it wasn't meant to be" " there must of been something wrong with it". "Well it wasn't planned" im going to lose my mind.
4. most dangerous thing I've done- hmmmm, I actually can't think of anything ... maybe I'm boring lol
Ugh, I'm sorry people are saying those things @amberrmariee20 - people are really insensitive and don't know what to say. I wish more people would just say that they are sorry and don't know what to say, instead of trying to be "helpful".
