Experiences with Infertility

[djmommy]

Thanks XX! FX you will see a BFP in the next week!! I am not allowing anything negative to enter my mind. Although it is still early in my cycle and I haven't O'd yet!!

As far as the gluten free I do miss my breads!! I love sandwiches and haven't had one in forever it seems. Have been staying away from cold cuts for a while.

Are you gluten free just for the sway? Or do you have Celiac/gluten intolerance?

Because surely if it's just for the sway, you can go ahead and have a sandwich as a treat. It would seem to me that if it's becoming a stressor to not have it to the point you're dreaming about sandwiches, that that would count as 'swaycessing' which would sway blue.

Luckily being Chinese I am used to asian foods which is very rice based (and thus no gluten) so it's not that hard for me to make the switch. I'm not gluten intolerant so I'm not even gonna bother worrying about the bits of gluten in soy sauce, etc. I'm planning on just cutting down on the bread/wheat products in favour of rice as my staple and go from there.

for those who are going gluten free as a preventative measure or for upping egg quality, it is ok to occasionally have a gluten-based cheat. YOu'll still be getting the benefits of less gluten for your fertility but it can help to satisfy the craving.

DJmommy- what brand of folate do you take and how much is it? I am thinking about switching.

I am really doing it for the sway but I actually feel better. My DS2 is gluten intolerant so I have beem trying to do it along with him. As far as a sandwich, I am staying away from the sandwich lunch meat that is not good for fertility. And I have had my cheats..Lasagna and garlic bread on Christmas and cookies too!! YUM! If I didn't I would have really gone crazy!!!! I actually don't mind it but won't freak out on myself if I have a cheat which makes things easier.

I am taking Solgar folate and I just ordered it from Vitacost and paid like $12.00 for 100 tablets. 800 mcg 2 x a day. I haven't checked Amazon out yet.

Amazon has the same one for $12.09. I am going to order some, because I am almost out of my Folic Acid. Thank you!

If I don't get a BFP this cycle, I am going to try acupuncture. There is a well respected practitioner in my hometown that is extremely affordable. I have something to look forward to either way!!

Have any of you ladies tried, or thought about trying, acupuncture?
