I am throwing the entire kitchen sink at my fertility journey. This is to say that I have signed up for the program I asked about in my last post.
It is The Seed Fertility Program ran by Danica Thornberry, an acupuncturist and naturopathic doctor in LA (www.seedfertility.com).
I have completed the first couple of units in the e-course and I have to say that I really like it so far. It combines video of her running a seminar from the Women’s Wellness Center in LA and journaling. She will also take me through dietary and nutritional choices for optimal fertility.
I have found that I was open in my first two rounds of IVF. When we got the positive beta, saw our bean on the ultrasound and heard his heartbeat, I was at ease thinking that our miracle had finally happened. When I lost him, I lost that openness and confidence in the process. My next two cycles were negative. I am hoping that this program will work to help me find it again. I know if anything, it will open me to remembering that I am a mother and I will mother a child. If it means through another IVF round, naturally, through adoption, or a gestational carrier-I will mother a child.
What They Never Tell You 
Interested in hearing more about this program you signed up for. Hopefully it will make a difference for you this time.
So far I really like it. I feel like I’m getting that other piece that western medicine and acupuncture weren’t offering.
Just stopping by via ICLW and really pleased to have found your blog, I am in a very similar mindset to you, although I’m a few years older. I am also throwing everything at my fertility, have totally changed my diet etc and am now on my first IVF cycle. The programme you’re following looks really interesting. I have tried acupuncture in the past and have just started a course of hypnotherapy, which is really enjoyable. So very sorry to read of your loss and really hoping – and knowing – that you will have your child one day. Hugs
Very interesting — I’m going to try the same for my upcoming cycle. I feel so negative after we lost our last baby, but I’m looking at this being a brand new start.
I’m interested too, especially about the openness. I’ve been so hesitant this time to be confident about my chances because the first time I was so totally confident that I really crashed and burned when it didn’t work. I don’t want to feel that way again, that mixture of total shock and total desperation – but if it means that I might have a better chance I should be willing to let myself be positive. What have your thoughts been about that so far?
ICLW – I’m a fan of won’t-hurt-might-help options. I hope the course gets you back on a positive track.
Here via ICLW….this program sounds really interesting! I’ve started really paying attention to all the factors that effect our infertility…not just the quality of our eggs. I am hoping to avoid IVF, by making the right changes in my life. I’d love to hear more about it, as you complete it.
This sounds very interesting! The mind/body/spirit connection is so important, I’m sure it’s easy to lose that after a failed treatment. I hope it helps you achieve that connection again 🙂 Good luck!
