Has “Technofertility” Taken Over?

When you have a few minutes (because it’s pretty darn long), go check out this article at Psychology Today entitled, “Who Stole Fertility?”

Freebie Friday Returns! Win a Fertility Scope from Miracle Light Labs

Check out this week’s Freebie: it’s called Fertility Scope and it’s designed to test your saliva to determine the optimum time to try to conceive. It’s about the size of a lipstick case and honestly, if I had any ability to ovulate, I totally would have snarfed this cute little thing up for myself.

But You Have a Beautiful Uterus…

Thank you so much for your well wishes! Please keep wishing a little longer - transfer is delayed just a few more days.
Sorry for the lapse in posting. I’ve been feeling a little woozy (and sleepy and bloated and crampy) since my doctor decided to ramp up my estrogen intake. My lining measured a measly […]

A New Yoga and Pilates Blog at b5media - Yay!

You know I love Pilates, but now that I am getting ready for another FET (frozen embryo transfer) I still don’t have answers as to how much and when I can reintroduce Pilates back into my routine post-transfer.
I’ve finally decided (after a few false starts) that I am down with Yoga. But I’m still not […]

Which Comes First, Chicken or the Egg? Stress or Infertility?

You know that I am trying to embrace a mind-body connection during this cycle. I’ve been talking about prana and Qi. I am guessing some of my real life friends are scratching their heads thinking, “what’s gotten into her?”
Well, if I ask myself truthfully, I guess I trust my mind more than my body. I […]

Rub Some of That Baby Aura on Me

Many women (and men) in the midst of trying to conceive and having some trouble will start to avoid social situations where they know they will encounter pregnant women or babies.

Chinese Herbs to Enhance Your Fertility

Earlier this week, Fertility Notes reader Brandi mentioned that she was beginning to take some Chinese herbs for fertility at the recommendation of her acupuncturist. I humbly admit this is an area I know nothing about.
