Hello everyone. I've been gone for a long time, so sorry about that. But unfortunately Im still here in the TTC world.
I'm having a pretty terrible day, and I thought of you gals. AF has arrived and it just so happens that its on the day my friends blow up facebook with baby announcements because they just found out the sex of their baby. Seriously there are just some days I can't take it. Another girlfriend of mine had a baby last week, and I was fine with that, but today in the mail her thank you card arrived for the flowers I sent. I broke out in tears. This day is too much.
Welcome all the new gals: wcpp, PS, cruzin, tammy, justme! PS I'm so sorry to read your news.
Hang in there, this board is great for giving hugs when you need them.
I've been on this board for years (yes years) but this year have not been around much because I was dealing with other medical issues. August marked 3-years of TTC'ing for me.
News for me: I'm still TTC, seeing my acupuncturist although she treats me mostly for my shoulder injury and it is uncommon for her to do a fertility treatment on me now. Usually only does that at the time of ovulation.
I'm still taking a giant list of chinese herbs and supplements.
I went to my PCP and had a bunch of tests done. to check for vitamin deficiencies and hormones. I found out my vitamin D is really low so I'm supplementing that. My estradiol is really high, so I'm taking DIM for that. I also found out I'm pre-diabetic. I went to a nutritionist and she does not think its due to my diet but rather due to my accident. Apparently being in pain consistently for long periods of time raises your blood sugar. Who knew.
Nonetheless I have stopped drinking coffee and stopped eating refined carbs and things with added sugar. Eating is seriously no fun anymore. I need to get my A1c tested every 3 months.
Best of luck to everyone on here, I miss you gals and you all have so much going on. I wish everyone the best. We all sincerely deserve it.
