Pill Popper

I feel robbed! I wanted the cool little pink case for my BCP that you see in the movies! Instead I get an ugly blue pouch?! WTF? LOL!

ya those are my supplements. I will have to get off most when we start stimming but for now they actually make me feel better. And normally vitamins and supplements  don't make me feel any different. Granted I am on like 15 of them so of course I have no idea which one/s are doing it *rolleyes*

Oh and was emailed today and told I will get my calendar at the trial transfer. Sigh, I hate waiting!

Vitamins & Supplements

I'm having a hard time deciding what I want to take during the 2ww...
I am already on a multi, probitotic/enzymes, D3. I need to order a B complex because I stopped b12 when I stopped being vegan. I also need to order C because I am out.  Decided to skip the added zinc since my multi has it and read some things on too much zinc.

So I am buying Blue-Green Algae, Spirulina, Royal Jelly (not sure I can remember 3x a day tho),

DIM (Diindolylmethane), Chlorella, Maca and CoQ10

WHEW!

So on the table still is the DEHA and Inositol, which if I start it would be if this cycle doesn't work- but this cycle WILL work  ; ) 


I am having SUCH a hard time with EFA. I don't think vegan has anything for 6 & 9 and I am vegetarian so what the hell do I do? I know it's easy for some to say take fish oil... But this is something I feel so strongly about and I am not sure it's a "take fish oil or no baby!" thing. Do i think it's important? Yes. Do I think it's essential? No.
I did however fine that it looks like Garden of Life RAW CoQ10 has 3/6/9 and I will be on that.

I know it’s not fish oil but I am going to try it ;)

I wonder if I am missing anything? I know my acupuncturist wants to do herbs if we do IVF so I will see what she brings to the table.

BLEH! SIS and CD3 Bloodwork

So I had my SIS and it went ok. Crampy during and messy but physically fine. She found a small polyp though *sigh* So that has to be removed next month. It could be worse I know, but I was hoping for an all “all clear!” for the IVF- not another thing.

Then she peeked at my follicles. I have ONE at 12mm. Nothing else standing out. I was so hoping since I am back on clomid that she would have seen more :( I wished I’d actually taken more clomid too now.

I go back Monday for a follicle check.

Lastly to round off my crappy morning, I got my CD3 blood work back:

FSH:  9.7 

LH 8.7

TSH: 2.12

E2: 39

Prolactin 13.1

When we first started TTCMA this time around 2/12:

FSH:  7.7 

LH 6.0

TSH: 1.42

Prolactin 2.9

I can’t help but see the increase in numbers and therefore decrease in my fertility. Yes I know it could be worse, but just another thing. And a reminder I don’t have time to screw around. Is it September yet?

DH's info

I'm tired of looking for this post every time I need it so figured it would put it here since it's relevant anyhow.
• Vit C (500-1500 mg/day)
• Vitamin E (400-800 i.u. per day)
• Zinc (15-60 mg/day)
• B-12 (10-100 mcg/day
• Selenium (100-200 mcg/day)
• Co-enzyme-Q10 (30-100 mg/day)
• Raw men's multi-vitamin
• Essential fatty acids (EFA)
• L-Arginine (2-4 g)
• Baby Asprin (80mg)
• Guaifenesin (100mg)
• Vitamin D3
And now 25mg clomid daily


FertilAid does contain a lot of these but we went separate supplements because in the long run I think it's cheaper and I knew he would be taking these for awhile.
