Today is a busy day. S and I have our phone consult with Dr. Sami David this afternoon. I bought his book Making Babies last fall when I was despairing under the care of our first RE. His (and his co-author, Jill Blakeway’s) recommendations helped give me the knowledge (& courage) to walk away when my first RE wanted to jump right to IVF after our first two failed IUI’s. (For background, this undoubtedly would have been a complete disaster. When my new RE ordered an MRI, we found out that nearly my entire uterus was taken up by a fibrous septum which RE #1 didn’t investigate after she found it or think was a problem unless I was having multiple m/c. Take about being proactive.)

I also started yoga and acupuncture at Pulling Down the Moon in an attempt to help balance my wacky hormones and as means of relaxation (I do realize the latter is not the reason I’m not getting pg).
But the timing is a little odd since we have just started injects (w/our latest RE) and are only a few days away from testing in what is undoubtedly my best cycle ever. But we made the appointment LAST YEAR and moved it once because of my septum surgery in January and were hoping the timing would be just right, but then I had long cycles the last several months. Anywho, very excited to see what he has to say about the lengthy medical history I sent him. (Our appt. got moved to next Fri. as the Dr. was stuck in surgery. I'm disappointed, but it'll be perfect timing.)
Tonight I am headed into the city for a Women & Co/Oprah Magazine event on “Reinventing Yourself” at the Sofitel, which is a great hotel. I’m sure there will be all sorts of fun goodies, great food, and hopefully useful advice (since at 33, I’m still trying to figure out what I really want to be when I grow up).
Stay tuned!
sometimes I think we're the same person. The acupuncture and the yoga and all of the relaxation therapy I think is the reason for my best cycle ever too.
ReplyDeleteWe should talk about EFT sometime...
