nightmares

      I am having this horrible reoccuring nightmare that I have ovulated early.  This would cancel out the cycle for this month and push us back to September since the IVF bank is closed for the month of August.   I know everything happens for a reason.

      I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow and I pray he'll tell me all looks good.  Time will tell.

     In the meantime, I have learned numerous interesting tips from my fertility forum.   I'm suppose to eat pineapple core on the days after the transfer.  I'm suppose to drink raspberry leaf tea and have no cold drinks, no ice, no ice cream.  I should try to provide a warm uterus for my embryos to attach to and am suppose to keep my feet warm too.  Warm pomegranate juice is suppose to help too.  Now these could all be old wives tales or they could work.  I'm going to give them a shot.  I picked up my organic pineapple from Kroger today and my organic raspberry leaf tea from Whole Foods.  Paul and I searched high and low in the tea aisle for that darn tea.  I'm hoping it was a positive sign that just when we were about to leave it caught my eye. 

      Okay, I'm off to bed.  It's gonna be a long week!

  1. Hi Katie!

    You never know about those old wives tales. Justin thought I was CRAZY when I laid upside down on an ironing board with a bag of frozen peas on my belly (Ryan was breech until 37 weeks!), but it worked :) !!!! Enjoy that pineapple, warm pomegranate juice, and raspberry leaf tea - I'll be thinking about you guys!

    Luv,

    Amy
