Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.

Today is actually DHs birthday too! He is working tonight - so he'll be home all day. I am working from home because of the wonderful weather in NJ. We didn't get as much snow as predicted - but the ice is really coming down!

I was reading the posts every once in a while...I just didn't post because I had nothing to say! So, I am not totally lost on where everyone is!

Lauren - I don't know the specific herbs? She has several different concoctions that I take depending on where I am in my cycle. One is called Strengthen the Root, planting seeds, etc. They have all the herbs listed on the ingredients. I was always considered liver Qi deficient - but after this last IVF cycle - we are noticing some blood deficiency - just by the way my cycles have been - so different then they used to be!

Betsy - I think that sounds like such a great idea! I have thought about that too. When I met with my doctor he thought it was so "odd" how my embryos start to implant - my numbers crash only to rise again and take 2 months to get back to 0. I looked at him and asked..."anything you would like to research further? I'll be the guinea pig!" He just smiled...hey - it was worth a try!

Emily - happy to hear the changes in DH. Maybe he realizes how good you are to him! I hope it stays that way!

Mari - glad to see you posting! What was the MFI you were dealing with again? MFI was our main reason for IVF - but they now believe I may have poor egg quality based on embryo quality and 2 failed IVF attempts. We did have chromosome tests and all was normal...thank God!

Regina - so glad you are see the fertility specialist. After I had gone I felt like this huge weight was lifted off my back...like it wasn't all up to me temping, timing BD, etc. Does that make sense?

OK - I'm working from home - gotta get back to work. I'll check in later.
