Week 2 Goals

By -
How did everyone do drinking water? I'm not sure I drank 64 ounces every day, but I definitely tried to down more liquids! Keep drinking away!

Goals for week 2

Fitness- Add extra steps to your day. If you are going shopping park away from the door (hard to resist those close spots when you have kids and it's freezing, but use the cold as an incentive to walk quickly). Or abandon the remote- this way when watching tv/movies you have to get up to change the volume/channel/pause/etc. You could even walk around while brushing your teeth. Look for small ways to get those legs moving!

Nutrition (please post recipes if you have good ones!)- Say no to white! Try switching from white rice to brown, white pasta to whole wheat, regular flour tortillas to wheat/brown rice, white bread to wheat... try switching at least one thing to a healthier whole grain version.

Spiritual/emotional/mental- treat your husband to a week of surprises. Leave notes in his lunch/bag/coat, put candies in his shoes, make his favorite meal, try to do something to serve him and make him feel EXTRA special this week. If you are anything like me, I think I do a good job at letting him know I love him, and taking care of the basics (food, clean house, at least *try* to be happy) however the little extra special things have fallen by the wayside.

Post your experiences next week! And don't forget to post your favorite recipes!

The Next Step

By Dirk and Trish -
After my laparoscopy in June for endo, the dr. gave us 3 months to get pregnant. Well, 3 months is up, so today we met with the specialist to decide what to do next. We were given three choices (I know many of you have been there, just wanted to give some info for newbies). Option 1 is clomid and IUI (~$650/cycle), Option 2 gonadotropins (I think it was $3000-5000/cycle), Option 3 IVF (~$14,000/cycle). The dr. recommended, and we had previously discussed, option 1. The prices are just what I was told, so they probably are not standard. I just find it helpful to have some idea what I'm up against, so thought I'd include it in case it gives someone else a baseline to work from.We missed out on timing for this cycle, so we actually have 1 more try at the old fashioned method, then we start clomid next month. Apparently the chances of a procedure working are best in the first 3 months, so we're really hoping this next step is it.

My next approach

I thought I'd share a couple of things I'm going to try next. I wish I was posting this because I had been successful with one of them, but some of them state they take up to 3 mos. so I don't want to wait until then to tell you about it, in case one of you wants to try one of these things sooner, with me! These are some things I've been researching, and gathering info about, because they are less drastic than some of the medical approaches. Other things I like about them is that they are geared towards becoming healthier-so even if you don't get pregnant, you're not out anything, and you may have gained some other benefit, like eating better. Last but not least, though there is some expense involved, I think it will still be cheaper than some of the diagnostic testing and procedures. Here are some of the things I am thinking about trying... A fertility diet: I learned about this from a co-worker. She used fertility for her first child, and it didn't work th...
