Support

Everything is progressing well with this cycle. I had my ultrasound, blood work, and intralipids on Friday. My lining was nice and thick and triple striped. I started progesterone today and my transfer is scheduled for Wednesday at 9:30 with Dr. K. They gave me a valium and sent me on my merry way. 

Life is pretty great. I've been spending a lot of time with my fertility yoga buddies and I am so grateful for them. I went to yoga on Tuesday and we hung around after chatting about various things. On Thursday night four of us went out for Indian food and today five of us met for our book club. We started up a book club two months ago and meet to discuss the book and so many other things fertility related. We laugh, cry, bitch, and support each other. 

It really is great to have friends going through many of the same things. We are all different and have our different stories, but we also have so much in common. 

 I can't imagine going through this journey now without this amazing group of women to share it with.

    1. We only read fiction to keep it light and fun. It's much better that way. Also one (two today) girls are pregnant in our group.

  5. Are you in NYC or upstate? I'm in the hudson valley and looking for a place to start yoga. Any sort of yoga is probably good for fertility, right? Good luck on Wednesday.

    1. I am in Upstate in the Syracuse area. I go to CNY Fertility that also has an office in Albany and they do yoga for fertility there.

      I completed my undergrad at New Paltz. Are you close to there?
