FET #3: Stims Days 5-10

So far, so good! Nothing really new to report.  Mainly, I just feel like blogging so I figure I will record how the past 5 days of this cycle have gone!

Have been eating super healthy everyday, with the exception of a delicious Kit-Kat bar during lunch the other day. Meals have consisted of Quinoa, Garbanzo beans, avocado, sweet potatoes, organic chicken breast, grass fed beef, whole grains, eggs, protein shakes, salads, etc.  Will continue to keep this up.  

The rapsberry tea I am drinking every day after work is causing me to pee more in the middle of the night than usual. Ugh. I really need to drink it in the mornings, but I dont want to be peeing non-stop while Im teaching either. Since Spring Break starts tomorrow, maybe I will try it out in the mornings and see if it helps. Im peeing about 4 times a night now compared to my usual 2 times. Annoying, but prep for being preggo again I guess!

Circle + Bloom meditation is still going strong. Im now on CD 2, part 4. I have only missed 2 days since suppression started, and I was just too beat to get in the mood for it those nights. The power of the mind is amazing to me. During meditation, I have been able to shrink myself down into a mini size and get into my uterus! Sounds crazy right? Lol. Its part of the program, getting things all perfect in there for baby. I am proud of myself for being able to connect my mind and body so deeply. Pretty cool, and relaxing. 

Started Folgard 1x per day this week. I start vaginal viagra (I KNOW… wt*) this Sunday. What woman has to go on viagra? This one! This will boost my lining even more. Anything for baby, right? Anyways, who has been on this before? Hopefully no horror stories? Only on it for 5 days in all so not too bad. Oh, and for various reasons, we decided I will not be doing the Lovenox bloodthinner this cycle. Feeling satisfied with our decision about this. 

My in-laws from Ohio will be in for a few days next week during my break.  We are looking forward to this, and hubby took a few days off to hang with us. Im hoping to get some Vitamin D at the beach! The summer weather is back, its been hitting the 80’s again everyday, and I need a tan majorly. 

Hubby and I started watching that new OJ series on demand. Takes me back to the 90s and watching the live trial. Some of it pisses me off, like how did this guy seriously get off?!? Oh, and John Travolta…dear Lord! What did he do to his face? I cant take it! Anyone else notice this? 

Hoping everyone has a blessed week! Will update after Mondays lining check 😊

  1. What’s the deal with raspberry tea? Is that a good thing to have before embryo transfer? Sounds like you’ve got a lovely balance of nutrition and sunshine and a treat here and there. Good luck xxx
    And hahahahaha to John Travolta’s face, happens to them all in Hollywood eventually!

  3. You are doing so many great things for you and your baby! I think eating healthy, taking the right supplements and meditation have made the most positive changes to my health and fertility. Have a great spring break (I’m on mine right now and it’s the TWW 😬)!

  4. It’s such an awesome feeling to be *doing* everything we know to do during IF treatment, it sounds like it’s all working really well for you. I’m with you on the red rasp leaf tea: I have one in the early evening and another before bed and it gets me up 2X a night too. I hope you next lining scan is excellent 🙂 xo

  6. I’m loving AMC story, too!!! The Marcia Clark sexism is brutal.

    Sounds like things are juuuust right. Tons of balance, self care and fun.

    Dumb question, will the female viagra boost your sex drive? Or do you have to go to all that trouble of taking it, with none of the fun?

    Omg, 80 degree weather. I die!!!! Please enjoy some sun for me 😍🎉😘
