Erika;

I know that this might sound crazy but, I wish I could get pregnant even if it resulted in miscarriage. I would just love to know if I am even capable of conceiving. I feel like I am wasting time and money with all my fertility treatments. What if it is just not in the cards? It is so heart wrenching sometimes. I know that you know exactly how I feel. I considered acupuncture and wondered if it truly helped. I was wondering why you cut citrus from your diet? Was it hard to eliminate all those foods?

Good luck to you too.
