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 […]

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.
It’s tough to find information online about Chinese herbs separate from places that want your business or companies trying to […]

Qi (you know, chi, pronounced “chee”) could be just as important to your baby-making ability as the more physical parts of the equation. Kind of like prana, Qi can be translated to mean “life energy” and according to my new favorite book, Qi:

I gotta make the goodies last!
I just realized that I was trying to get rid of some serious merch in a seriously short amount of time. Since I have a nice handful of vitties to give away, I have decided to extend the Fertility Blend giveaway comment deadline to Thursday, June 26th - with a […]

Check out my new gear.
No, no, not the earrings. The earbuds. Those lovely little patches that contain magnets, perfectly placed to stimulate points in my ears that are related to fertility.
That’s my homework assignment. Given to me by my acupuncturist last week.
24 pulses on each point. 4-6 times a day. In fact, these instructions on […]

This email alert had perfect timing. Just when I was getting down, down, down about the state of affairs down there, I got a link to one of BabyCenter’s (yeah, I subscribe, so what?) newest articles: Therapists’ Top Ten Tips for Coping with Fertility Problems. This is my favorite piece of advice:

It’s April 15 and accountants and taxpayers across America are either breathing a sigh of relief or scrambling to help their clients or themselves get to the post office with their completed income tax forms by midnight tonight.

I read this the other night from Lara at Little Beans 4 Me and I have been thinking about it ever since:
I have this friend, M, who has an aunt who is a hypnotherapist. She told her aunt about me and my trying to get pregnant and her aunt said she wanted to help me […]

I am no longer a member of the “never tried it, but I’d like to” category; I just can’t decide which of the other two I fit into just yet.
I had my first acupuncture session yesterday afternoon.
As I was driving, I passed a sign that said “Acupuncture and Fertility - Free Seminar March 11″ in […]

Encouraged by me readers’ emails and comments, I am now full on in my search for an acupuncturist. I have a great lead for one in the DC area, but I need one closer, especially if I plan to use it after my little guys are implanted. I have one of my BFFs on […]
