My last post was my 70th! Goodness how they mount up. I'm racing towards my century.
Forgot to pass on another success story. My mum rang to tell me about the daughter of a friend of my auntie (keep up) who has just got a BFN on her 12th (TWELFTH) attempt!! She has ageing issues and a hubbie with sperm probs - not sure what. Anyway, on this try they both visited a kinesiologist. I'm not exactly sure what that is, but I do know that quite a few people have had success after trying kinesiology and this worked a charm for them.
I think there's a danger in trying too many things - just gets confusing and is probably more stressful - but if all else has failed....maybe this will help someone.
Good luck all of you cycling

ps: there's an international fertility conference this week in Lyons. Our doc's off there and i'm sure there'll be lots of news about all things IVF in the media

A London couple's struggle to conceive

About Me
- Portia P
- I'm a 43 year old ex Londoner just moved to Hertfordshirewith my gorgeous husband. Attempt to multiply began "in sin" but, just after our wedding, tests revealed severe MF meant we could try all we liked but without a modern day miracle - or at least the wonders of science, we'd always be two. We were instantly launched into a whole new world of acronyms - the land of ART. After two and a half years trying to escape back to a world where full names rule, at the grand old age of 39 yrs and 11mths, I gave birth to our little miracle and two became three. Almost exactly 2 years later, our one frozen embryo turned into our second miracle and we are four. Still amazed and grateful.

Hiya!! So pleased you got good follie news. I'm hoping this is just the start of the good stuff. I'll drop you an email about the DHEA as it will be interesting to see what I could buy myself. I'm watching the Diana concert too - isn't it great!
Funny, I'm working on 6 follies. Thanks for visiting my blog. It's always nice to find someone you're cycling with! I may start Cetrotide tonight or tomorrow and hopefully retrieve at the end of the week.
Best of luck, I'll check in on you!
