Hi all. Just popping in.

Theresa - I completely and totally hear you regarding being frustrated about planning. I can't believe how many times over the past 2 years my planning has been around doctor's appointments, shots, delivering frozen sperm from storage to the doctor, IVF, ultrasounds, etc. I used to really enjoy "planning," but since I've lost the control over this process, I've lost some of that energy, and pretty much all of the excitement. Which I feel like we need a little of to keep going. Now I'm just riding on hope. When I can muster it. So, please, complain away. It makes me at least feel less like a freak for complaining about it all myself.

Also, Theresa, you and I must be on some freaky wavelength, because I got AF today as well. Let's just use some of that coincidence to bring on pregnancies in both of our lives sometime soon!

Faith - I have a couple of friends who have tried the fertility blend. One swears by it, the other felt like it messed with her cycles. But between them they've had 3 kids, so it may be worth trying. Personally I've tried to avoid taking anything, including the herbs my acupuncturist keeps trying to push on me. I feel like there are so many things impacting our bodies right now, the less "noise" in the mix the better.

Kay - Thanks for making the list. BTW, my name is Bethany (or B). I realized soon after creating a screenname here that using my initials on this site was maybe a mistake - BD. But it's also pleasantly ironic, since, because no male partner here, we're among the very few that haven't actually gone down the good ol' BD route to get pregnant!

Tamar - Good luck with your test tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend! Bethany
