Have either of you had your vitamin D levels checked?

So much research is coming out now on vitamin D, it's astounding.

My doctor (she's a Nurse practitioner) recently put me on Vitamin D, looking around, I felt liquid did a better job raising levels, so that's what I'm taking. I took double doses for a week (my levels were nonexistant), and have backed off to 1,000 IU's a day. (twice a day, 500 units). It's strange, and maybe just in my head, but I feel better, good, energized, ready for anything!

wow...
i understand: when you are single you see couples everywhere, when you wanna hava a baby you see babies everywhere.
you say god has a plan for you, maybe he really does, maybe you should just wait till your health is good enough to have your own baby.
maybe you should just take your time?..

Sometimes you have to shut it all out. Ignore everyone. Get off Facebook. It's all you can do from screaming and crying. Don't let the ignorant suggestions and comments of others get you down either. You may want to slap someone for what they say to you. Just remember - they're ignorant. They may mean well but, unless they've been through it, they don't know.
Lots of hugs!!!!

I know your pain I've been there. Our DS was 10 years in the making. We tried natural, surgeries, acupuncture, IUI and IVF. We did 5 IVF cycles and the 5th was using up the frozen embryos we had accumulated bcuz I had had enough. Our DS is now 10. We tried for another child thru IVF, but sadly insurance insisted I have my tubes removed b4 they'd let us try again. We took a gamble and lost. We were then told we needed donor eggs. We were moving forward with donor eggs when my 46 yr. old sister was found to have fibroids. Upon her having a D&C it was found she had a rare cancer called leiomyosarcoma. None of the experts at Dana Farber could tell me if this rare cancer would be hereditary. We gave up trying. I lost my sister at age 48. I'm now 47 and blessed to have my son, but being an older parent I'm also sad that he'll never have a sibling. My body failed at what it's supposed to do. I would do anything for my son, but can't give him the 1 thing he wants more than anything. I have been pregnant 7 times and have 1 child. You need to gain your health and I'm praying everything works out for you. I know the pain you're feeling and it's not an easy thing to go thru.
