Reiki is a very gentle hands on therapy, it works really well moving any blocks ...

My first fresh cycle ( I am now transferring a FE from it), produced 16 eggs and 11 embies. I was close to OHSS but it went ahead. The ET was painful as I was so swollen but they kept topping me up with drugs and finally knocked me out! It sounds alot worse than it was. I would ...

Two week wait

My transfer is Tuesday and already I am dreading the two week wait. Having done one cycle before, I know how it can drive you mad if you let it. Every twinge sends you off!

Good luck, I hope it passes soon for you all and you get the result.
