So I finally got the nerve to call my step-sister today knowing now that she wasn't pregnant from her IVF attempt. A little bit of a back story...step-sister and I used to be really close when I was in high school. She lived in MN with my dad and her mom and I was in CO so we saw each other a couple times a year. We went to work in ND for a summer after I graduated and she tried to control me and other things happened and we just haven't been even close to what we used to be.
Anyway, she has always said that she didn't want twins and would even do a selective reduction if they did get pregnant with twins...yeah don't even get me started on that! We talked today and she did an IVF cycle while I was having all my surgery stuff and it didn't work. I told her about wheatgrass and DHEA and even sent her a couple links to read up on some things. I don't know if this will bring us closer but I now feel like it's a race to get pregnant before the other one. She will probably be doing another cycle right around the time I will. I want to be supportive and I think I can be but can that support stay if she gets pregnant and I don't?? I'm not so sure. And then there's the whole twin thing...WOW!

Would you mind sending me the info on DHEA?
That was sweet of you to give your stepsister that info. and try to help her out. I know, I hate the feeling of getting pregnant being a race, but it does and it's one I know I'll lose :( That would be cool if you both got pregnant around the same time! I can't imagine saying I'd do selective reduction of twins after everything we've all gone through to get PG. Crazy! Glad your Christmas wasn't too painful in the IF department. I hope your incision heals soon. Much love to you!
seriously? isn't selective reduction for twins a little excessive? come on! (here via Andrea's site)
Yes, I am going to Conceptions...are you?
