Post Subject: Knitting - NOT! Who knows how to use a wonder knitter?
Hola - i bought a wonder knitter to make fishing line and bead jewelry. There are instructions on how to do this on the brochure that came with the wonder knitter. HOWEVER - they do not make any sense to me, and I have tied to follow them several times. My jewelry keeps coming unraveled. The directions are not very clear. Maybe beacuse I am not a knitter. What do you think? If I got knitting help would it help me use the wonder knitter? Here is a link to the wonder knitter and the extent of the instructions. Can you tell me what I am missing?

Sending you tons of good vibes here too on that second tube. But if you cannot, IVF is an option. A friend is on her 4th pgcy, her 5th baby (and hopefully she gets a take-home baby this time), this pg is IVF. She's such a hard luck case INCIID gave her a FREE IVF grant. They harvested 21 eggs, 5 fertilized, 3 implanted and one stuck.
I just had my second m/c - or I will in the next few days. Took us 1 year to get pg with the first, and 9 mos. and boatloads of $$ to a fertility specialist to get pg with the second. Turns out DH also has issues, so in order to get pg, we had to do Clomid with IUI. I did IUI twice, the clomid cycle worked, but the pg isn't viable.
Doc thinks genetic reasons, so I'm to 'save' the 'remains' whenever they decide to come out (I'm still waiting) so they can test it. Depending on what they find and some more tests, (the APA test, among others), we'll have a strategy. But I'm near my last rope on this - going on 36, DH going on 39, and really struggling with this latest m/c.
Best word of advice, learn everything you can about the various causes of infertility, ask your doc tons of questions and have a plan that you and your DH can live with - financially and emotionally. Seek therapy if you both need it (I ended up majorly depressed after first m/c therapy helped both that and our marriage immensely), and stick together. Docs tend to really go methodically down a 'chart' of things they try (I've seen it), so it can be frustrating while they try everything.
I have to stay off the fertility boards b/c they make me obsessive and crazy (and DH won't let me anymore). So thanks for the post here <grin> he has no idea I'm talking infertility.
I find sewing and knitting help me get introspective without being obsessed or wallowing. I made two fantastic jackets last fall & winter (and am about to start on a summer one in floral), projects I'd have never tackled before infertility or miscarriage.
