It didn't take long to get a phone call from CNY but I think the tone of the caller had me a little well uneasy, and quite frankly nothing bad was said. I think it's in my head, I initially wanted to cycle at Syracuse but I think I will change my mind to Albany "IF" I decide to cycle with them. Thus far there are LOTS of mixed reviews about this clinic which isn't making my unease any better but we shall see. Honestly we do not have cash lying around to test the waters, age is also no longer on my side.
Our phone consultation will be on 11/21... YAY. I guess I am anxious and wanted sooner but heck such is life :-) . I think I am being a total nut especially since I planned on cycling closer to February. I know I will need to do another HSG, insurance sucks so I am pretty sure I DO NOT want to do another laparoscopy so Chinese Herbs it is to get any gunk in my broken tubes out.
Me waiting for the consult
Side-Note
I have sleeping issues. Sometimes I am fine and can get 6-7 hours, but lately I am lucky if I can get 4 uninterrupted. It's not the bed ( we tried changing the mattress a few months ago which I love), I have been suffering with insomnia for a few years now. It is so bad that when my friend had her infant and was up doing late feedings, she would text me to pass the time because she "knew" I would be up.
Lovely right?
Anyway saying all of that to say this.....1 of the supplements on the list is Melatonin so I did a test drive last night and got 6 1/2 hours and so score...
The CCRM's supplement list is below, if you decide to take any of them I suggest you do your research. For myself I don't plan on taking all of them, especially DHEA.

I am not a pill popper which I have mentioned somewhere along the lines before, but IVF isn't cheap so why not try to up the already low odds.
Thankfully I have been eating fairly clean, ok perhaps 75% clean for 3 months I still have a long way to go. Ultimately none of this is up to me, it's on God's timing.
