Welcome Nak and Val! Feel free to post your dates on our new calendar:
junjul_ivf: June 2009
Ambyr - shots into your deltoid? That does sound painful. I wonder why you can't do your Gonal-F shots sub-Q...
AFM - I had my first acupuncture appt on Saturday! It was really relaxing...I ended up falling asleep at one point. I'm a little sore today, but otherwise fine. Tamie (my acupuncturist) seems to think I have more problems with my left side than my right, so that side is a bit more sore. She also gave me some 'homework'...she put 2 magnets on me (1 on each leg) which I am supposed to massage in an upward motion. Apparently, the magnets are on the meridians that lead to my uterus. I'm also supposed to drink hot water with ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon in it and eat more alkaline foods. And I go in again next Saturday. Val, sounds like we may be on a similar schedule. Is this your 1st time trying acupuncture? It's mine.
Otherwise, our friends came over for dinner last night with their 5-month old. I was about to kill DH when he went out to pick up the pizza and left me alone to listen to our friend talk nonstop about breastfeeding! (We haven't told any of our friends yet about our IF journey.) So last night was kind of rough. But I'm back in positive vibe mode, since the weather was so great here today.
Glad to have some new people join our group! Can't wait until we all get started on our way to
!
