No $ to do anything, we're still paying off bills from the last time. Sooooo, just trying to live and get by. My MIL sent me 3 books, a CD and a Yoga video. I think I'm overwhelmed and don't know where to start so I haven't yet. I will soon, I think I just wanted to do some non-fertility things for a while.

So I guess my update is "In between". Thanks for putting the list together Kelli. Also, I haven't read The Infertility Cure but I've heard good things about it. Unfortunately that's not one of the ones MIL sent to me.

Jnails, so sorry to hear about your second loss. Quite a rough patch for you and DH. Try to be strong and positive, you've got good things coming your way, like Journey said, your Rainbow is coming.

casb, I'm glad the bleeding stopped. I'm with you on the tubal issue books, I keep looking but haven't seen anything addressing that specifically. I'm not sure diet would help either but I think Chinese medicine sounds promising from what I've read. It's the only thing I've seen that addresses tubal blockages. It concentrates on blood flow which I believe is very important, as well as mind-body connection and chi and all that. I'm thinking I am going to pursue that along with accupuncture. I printind out a list of CM doctors in my area, just need to make an appointment...

nething4mybaby, AF was late this month for me too, 4 days. I'm not sure if this one is considered my first AF after IVF though because I got my AF 2 days before my BETA last month. Either way, they are definitely not as consistent as they used to be, I was like clockwork every 28 days before all this.

Journey, let us know how the BETA goes!!

Hi everyone. Back to work and really crabby, I think that starting the BCPs on Wednesday may have something to do w/it but I didn't feel this cranky last time, not even from the injections!
Does anyone still have sensitivity from the PIO shots?
I still feel mild soreness on both sides of my butt, when touched or even when going up or down stairs, how weird.

Tree, taking some time to regroup and figure things out could be a good thing, sometimes ideas pop into our heads when we are not pressured for solutions. If I ever finish my Infertility Cure, I'm a very lazy reader, I will be happy to send it to you!

Journey, I can't wait to hear your Beta #s, for nice high numbers!!!
Nicki, was 2-3 days late for me too this 2nd time after AF, and I am usually like clockwork. I think the hormones play a part of that, even weeks later. We sure pumped lots of them into our bodies.

Casb77, I'm glad the bleeding has stopped. The shots are so scary, especially w/the giant needles, I'm the biggest whimp, I hate any of needles, even blood test, I beg for the butterfly!!!

Kelli, thanks so much for the list, you did a great job! I'm glad you love your new acupuncturist, I wish I could find one for myself close to home.

Joanna, I'm so sorry for your losses for you and your family. I'm hoping you will have something wonderful to concentrate on this month, a successful cycle.
