I was searching the internet for something that I could wear as a reminder encouragement through this ttc journey without being so obvious (i don't want to wear a shirt that says "so what, I can't get pregnant...sometimes I can't remember when sex was fun, lol") and I came across the emerald...gemselect.com says this about the emerald...

Tradition is that emerald aids fertility, improves eyesight, and gives the wearer psychic powers. Believed to lift depression and relieve insomnia. Promotes self-knowledge, peaceful dreams, and helps you achieve balance and patience.
I'm going to go buy an emerald (real or fake doesn't matter) piece of jewelry and i'm going to wear and every time I do, i'm going be proud of this journey and the end result, and nothing is going to diminish my hope. I just thought i'd share this with you all...

Sometimes a physical representation of your hope will inspire you when you feel like you've run out of hope.

I love emeralds but I was just googling to see what other stones would work and came across this: Fertility
People often ask for advice regarding stones to work with for promoting fertility.
naturally quartz manifestation crystals crystals with "babies" and family clusters would be supportive in crystal grids etc.. Crystals that are good for balancing the hormones, improving the blood circulation, encouraging relaxation
and helping to ensure a healthy pregnancy
Rose quartz, moonstone, bloodstone, unakite, rhodonite and quartz crystal are some possible choices. There are many choices of stone which can be carried or put in grids for promoting fertility. What stone makes best choice will depend on the specific situation. Use your intuition and look around to see what stones are making themselves available.
The best fertility stones I've encountered placed themselves /were found on the street. One is a whitish pinkish stone that is shaped rather like a pregnant woman but is not identifiable as any specific rock or mineral. Another was a piece of San Francisco "Jade".
Traditionally stones used for fertility include holey stones, egg shaped stones, manifestation crystals, rose quartz, carnelian, Mexican fire opal, green and orange calcite, moonstone chryoprase, red coral, garnet, shiva lignum, smoky quartz and Dolomite, Manifestation crystals and abundance clusters of quartz.
Not Crystal healing but another fertility calling practice is to hang lead crystal in the double drop cut in a sunny window. there is also an ancient tradition of carved stone figures in many cultures as fertility talisman.
