Hey everyone
Liza:
I know how you feel. It is very upsetting being around pregnant mommies that do not treasure their blessings and feel humbled by the fact that they can experience such a miracle. I was at a wedding over the weekend and there was a very young newly wed couple and she was 18 weeks pregnant. It was bittersweet for me. I would have been 18 weeks today and I could not manage not looking at her and wanting to also be in her shoes. She however was complaining about not finding something to wear - and then about slight heartburn and then about the fact that the little one will be born in November and not early 2017 ...and and.
I kept my distance. I was afraid that I would say something totally rude and she would not understand where I am coming from. Hugs to you. This road is not easy...

Sorry about AF!!
Only a few more weeks, then you will have your LAP.
I have not had anything to drink (alcohol or caffeine since a 3 months before we did IVF in 2012). It has now become a habit and although I would sometimes (like maybe once every 3 months!) have a glass of wine - I generally do not drink anymore. It is probably not necessary to be so strict, but there are research indicating that having caffeine and alcohol daily does decrease fertility rates.

Thanks for the prayer - you are so kind.
It is so frustrating when one's cycle is all over the place. Any symptoms today?

I am on CD14 today. So officially about 2 days away from OV. I usually OV around CD15 -16. This is just a "trial-run-cycle" to get everything back on track - but we will still make use of this to give it our all and see what happens. Maybe...
