Infertility

A friend of mine just adopted a baby boy after trying for almost 8 years. It was quite an emotional occasion when they went to pick up the baby boy at a clinic. My friend and her husband were crying when they first hold the baby in their arms. I couldn't stop myself from crying either especially when they asked me to be their son's godmother.
They have been trying for 8 years and they gave gone to hospitals and clinic trying to conceive and they have spent thousand of ringgit trying for a baby. They tried everything from Assisted Insemination (IUI) to In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) to Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) and even Assisted Hatching (AH).
None worked.
They tried from Damai Service Hospital in Kuala Lumpur to iCare Fertility Centre in Penang.
They were devastated...it was hard to see my friend broke down every time her period comes.
And now I'm very concerned as my menstrual cycle is irregular and that means it would be difficult for me to determine my fertile time....
*sighs*
I read that the no 1 cause of irregular period is stress. So I have been trying to relax.
I have also been taking folic acid and vitamin E and also EPO to balance out my hormones.
Wish us luck people.
