Hi Lindsay -
Your story is inspriational! And thanks for sharing it with me - it gives me hope. Unfortunately the pain of the BFN is still so fresh (less than a month).
I am looking into acupuncture and I have heard of an herbal chinese guy who has some great success in NYC getting women pg naturally with teas and herbs. It is an inexpencive process so I figured to give it a try until we decided what we are going to do and possibably pick a new donor. It cant hurt.
I am adopted myself so I am not opposed to the idea - but I would love to be pg myself if possible. It is just the cost of another donor cycle on top the the loan I already took and the $$$ needed for adoption is weighing heavly on my mind. Am I going to have any money left if and when I do have a baby??
I also have another obsticle - my DH is 6 years older than me and adoption agencies do not like to give babys to people 45 and over. So time is of the essence.
This really help to discuss this with someone who understands. My friends and family try to help but they do not know the pain that we are going through.
Thanks so much, Meg

Hey ladies we had our followup ultrasound today...Gabriel was very cooperative and he is still a boy and has gotten even bigger...My brother's fiancee went with us to make sure it was still a boy...She would not believe it was a boy until the technician told her and showed her his part...Of course daddy just glows when she shows it...Trust me you all will see once you have the u/s that determines the sex....Also my triple screen bloodtest came back and all is normal...So everything is as it should be and I go back on the 29th for my regular anti climatic OB visit...Talk to you all later.

Best Wishes,

Hi Meg
I hope you are hanging in there. I was down for a few weeks following my failed IVF. The thought of international adoption boosted my spirits, but I suddenly decided I was not ready to give up yet. My friend had sworn by the acupuncture. I wanted to try something healthy for my body instead of giving myself more drugs that made me feel crappy.
My acupuncturist also had me on a herbal regimen. I only took the herbs in the months leading up to the IVF, but I noticed a huge difference in my body. I really enjoyed the treatments and left feeling relaxed rather than stressed. I also gave myself lots of spa treatments. I do not know if it was a factor, but I limited my exercise. I was an avid runner/biker until this past year. I was told by the acupuncturist that I had tired my body, and it needed to heal. Although I hated cutting down my activity initially, I did feel better.
My acupuncturist does a lot of treatments on women going through IVF in the area and keeps statistics on success rates. He has treated hundreds of women and although it is not a huge patient pool, he has found a 65-70% success rate. This is approx 20% higher than doing IVF without acupuncture. I think it is worth a try!
Hope you are well,
Lindsay

Lindsay -
Thanks for the info - I am considering acupuncture as well as the herbal tea I am taking. The whole process is so nerve racking - I definately need to go to the spa for the day. I am hoping to do that during the holiday break! I have done some reatail therapy though!!!!
Thanks again, Meg
