Default An Old Vet here (babies mentioned)

It's been a very long time since I have logged onto this board. But I remember the days of living by it. Every question I had the ladies here knew the answer.

I hope everyone is progressing well and I know there are some that didn't get the answer that they wanted to hear. (been there). I only write this to you, b/c it can happen and it happen to me and after just putting my 3 down to sleep I still can't believe it really happened.

And this is what I did:

I went to Accuputure faithfully every week (almost 2 months prior, doesn't mean you have to, but I do believe in it)
I drank tons and tons of water (8-10 deerparks a day) Water is Life.
I ate a hard boiled egg every morning (with cranberry juice? this part was me)
I quit smoking and drinking (very hard to do for a social person as myself)
I ate everything organic (my husband hated me for that and I felt like a nut)
Teaspoon of Flaxseed Oil every day (I don't know why I heard it somewhere)
and lastly....
I prayed very hard (this part is very key to the whole process)

I hope that I given some of you some light and hope, b/c I am still scratching my head as to how blessed I am to have 3 of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen, from a girl who could not get pregnant to save my life and getting old, who has no tubes. It's a miracle to me.

I don't know why I was compelled to write this tonight but I was, and only hope I can give someone the hope and joy I have been so blessed with. Do Not give up, it does happen.


God Bless and Baby Dust to Everyone

Mimi,
Hi!
It's nice to see you again. I am back for IVF #5 - trying for a sib for Cade. You don't have to worry about that with trips, I guess huh?
I agree with stacie - we need a new pic!

Oh Mimi!! It's so good to hear from you!! I'm so glad the trio are doing well. I know you have your hands full, but I'm so glad you took the time to write out what you were feeling tonight. I know it gives some of the girls a glimmer of hope. I agree with the other girls, we definitely need some pictures of those beautiful babies!!!!!
