Hi Girls,
I'm an old-timer here, but I haven't had the time lately to keep up with the community. I do lurk at least once or twice a week, and pipe up when I can.
So, right now I am sitting on a dozen eggs and heading out for egg retrieval this morning. It does get easier with time and practice, but it is still very emotional.
I would appreciate any crossed digits, P&PT, good vibes, and power hums.
Best wishes to everyone!
Allison

Acupuncture: Not sure if it is helping my fertility, but it helped my 15-year-old shoulder injury the first day!!! Also, AF is redder and heavier, and my FSH didn't go up with my age.
