On the evening of our IUI there was an incredible full moon. It actually was fullest the day after, but close enough. I do not know much about moon cycles, but lately I have been watching the ocean tides and paying more attention to the cycles of tides and the moon. I also recalled hearing about women's menstrual cycles lining up with the moon cycles. I don't know if it's hogwash or not, but I did a bit of reading and there is a lot about the subject.
This
article says that when a women is ovulating with the Full Moon it gives her the best chance of fertility. Also, another scholarly
article cited a study that said that a Full Moon resulted in a higher chance of babies born as males.
It will be interesting to see if it turns out to be true or not.

Here's hoping that this Moon cycle is the one!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for you!! I actually had been thinking about the moon and cycles a lot too, I actually ovulated on CD 11 which is so abnormal to me and I think it has to do with the moon. My DH thinks I'm silly but fingers crossed we both prove him wrong. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics! Crossing everything for this moon cycle! Maybe that It's a blue moon will make it even better!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!!!!! It was a blue moon, too??
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts your way--I just had my first IUI done yesterday, so we'll be suffering through the 2ww together. Hang in there! And keep us posted!
