Acupuncture

I started acupuncture today. I was so anxious and nervous. But, she is super nice and totally put me at ease. It was not painful at all. I hardly felt most of the needles going in.

She says I have a "slippery and choppy" pulse and that we need to strengthen my kidneys...um ok!? So I am going to see her once a week. If anything I felt totally relaxed when I left there. At some point I totally zonked out and took a "needle nap". So every week. Hopefully the stats of IUI + Acupuncture work in our favor this month!

2 More Weeks...

So DH is OOT this week...(hence our break cycle). I really just want to get this cycle over with to start up with the RE again. We are going with the same protocol this month. (100MG Clomid, Trigger, IUI#2). Only thing I am doing differently is I am starting acupuncture. RE is really excited that I am going to start it. After reading up on it, the success rates after using it in conjunction with treatment, I had to at least try. You have to love insurance companies....IUI and IVF is 100% covered..but they exclude acupuncture? Explain that one to me???? But, we seriously can't complain...I start Thursday...can't wait to start and see what all the rave it about.

New Haircut = New Me

So I have decided that I am going to "get a life" and not let IF consume me (as much). I need a new me, the old me. The me before IF took over my life. So I started with a haircut. Haircuts always make me feel like I have a new start. So here is the new do in all it's glory...I have also decided that I am going to take all this IF in stride. After a suggestion from a fellow Nestie, whom I consider a good friend...I am going to do something every month. Every month that AF shows, and I'm not pregnant, I am going to do something that I couldn't/shouldn't do if pregnant. So this month....I am whitening my teeth!

Post #1

So after reading tons of IF blogs, decided it was time to start my own. I realize I need a place to express my feelings to anyone who will listen. A place where I can say how I feel without making people uncomfortable, making them feel guilty, or even sorry for me. I need a place to just be me and be able to say how I feel. So this is it. A Baby Sold Separately...this is my offical place to be me and a place to come to terms with my struggles, dissapointments and anything else that comes my way.
