My dear Moon, I've been through what you're enduring now (in spades!) and I've got you and Cowboy in my prayers every day. I'm not here everyday but my love for you is.

Moonie, I'm sending out all kinds of positive vibes to you and Cowboy. In fact, last night I was making brownies. Did some egg rubbing in your honor. The first egg I cracked open had 2 beautiful egg yolks inside!! Twins!! I've never see that before. Thought..hmmmm...this egg rubbing really does work.LOL!

I had fertility issues way back when. I can relate to how emotionally painful the process can be. Hang in there, Moonie and CB...My son just turned 16...He's my miracle baby.

Sending out good thoughts for your own little miracle.

Sorry I haven't posted much, this drug ordering stuff has kept me so busy the last few days... hopefully I will have it done today. I have been shopping around to get the best prices and best quality. I am on the BC and will on it until Thanksgiving. Then the day after I will go in for my baseline ultrasound to make sure everything is at rest. Then I will start the big drugs on the 28th. I am so excited!!

Thanks MsMonkey!

I went to my acupuncturist on Friday and he said between now and the egg retrieval is the VERY important. Now the FSH is working properly, it needs to get collect really GOOD GREAT eggs and a lot of them. So I am trying to take it easy, meditate, breathe, taking lots of vitamins ... major egg rubbin.

So everyone could concentrate on some egg rubbin and GREAT healthy eggs I would so appreciate it!

You guys are the best!

Moondance, thanks so much for starting this thread and telling your story. It's always helpful to know you're not alone. I wish you the best of luck and look forward to reading about your journey.

We are going through our own fertility issues right now.
I basically don't ovulate. My doctor put me on Metformin last december and I got really sick on it so he was going to switch to Clomid. Well, my husband got hurt at work and we lost our insurance so we had to take time off from the doctor.

In the meantime, our vet bills were almost as much as our mortgage every month so we put that first. Unfortunately, we don't have those vet bills anymore. I would so much rather have those bills and my kitty still here.

I am now back with the doctor but he won't put me on Clomid until I regulate my thyroid with synthroid for 8 weeks because he said an out of whack thyroid effects the childs brain function.

Here is my funny story...the first time we met with the fertility doctor, I thought it was just a consultation. After 15 minutes, he basically told me to strip and get on the table. I panicked because I didn't prepare. I was on my period so I thought that would be the best excuse. He said "all the better!" Then I finally told him I didn't shave and I was mortified. He whispered to me that shaving or not doesn't affect the test results...lol...so there I was on the table, getting an internal ultrasound with this guy I just met. He then calls my husband over to look and when he hesitated, he said "come on, its nothing you haven't seen before!" I laughed after and I love the guy, but boy, was I mortified at the time!

LOL Fab, don't ya know anytime you don't shave they want you to strip? It's like dr's have stubble radar.

Lots of prayers and egg rubbing for you too, Fab! Moonie, I'm still rubbing away for you.

LOL Fab... it goes through my mind too... I even prepare for my acupuncturist....

I have a few good books on Chinese medicine and acupuncture if you would like them. Your case sounds very hopeful and can be helped greatly by this form of medicine. Even reading the book will help. It is called 'The Infertility Cure' by Randine Lewis PhD. I would not be where I am at with it or my acupuncturist.

Let me know how things go. And I totally relate about the vet bills. This year I lost three of my babies to Cancer and I tried everything for them.

Our insurance doesn't cover the fertility procedures so I understand about the costs. But if you can get your body back in balance you may not need the $$$procedures.

Thanks MsWar for the rubin'!!! I get my meds shipped today so the I will be ready the 28th. I am so excited!!!
