**ahem** Vitamins.....

 

[Traskey]

Well they do come with the folic acid in the Wellwoman Conception. Although I see from that list about Q10. Will need to look into that one!

 

[Sambatiki]

Trask - Im not sure... I just remember that the pregnacare ones made my cycles LONGER!

 

[zowiey]

Traskey, I can't believe you don't like milk! I Love the stuff! does full fat really make a difference? Oh, I'm so excited now, you can't beat full fat milk in a cuppa!

Oh ladies, please stop me.......I've started watching real housewives of orange county, and I'm really getting into it! Seriously, I cannot watch anymore shit tv!

 

[Traskey]

Ack!!!!!!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo, we don't want longer cycles

I'm trying to eat as healthily and with as much variety as possible. It's tough but if it gets us what we want then it will be worth it.

Having looked online it's fresh food and veg. Low caffeine. No artifical sweetners (Will have to cut these out). No fizzy drinks. Careful on the fish. No unpasteurised cheeses.

Yep, I keep reading about having no "diet" foods. You need the fats, just the right ones.

Shit tv is good. I am so pooped I am watching people fight on Jeremy Kyle when I should be packing and hoovering

 

[Sambatiki]

Zoe - the cheesy'er the better I say! And Im afraid I dont like milk either.

Trask - Im BALLSED on the diet cokes

 

[Traskey]

Me too! No Pepsi Max and Coke Zero Back to flavoured sparkly water it is then. Was good whilst it lasted ;-)

 

[Tinks85]

I heard the milk was to help down regging as its like menopause and the milk helps your bones And yes full fat. I hate the stuff though, I have semi skimmed in tea and skimmed on cereal

My diet is shocking at the minute. I dont have an appetite during the day so just picking on crap and maybe bananas and yoghurt and then having a biggish meal at night. Need to sort that out

Is there a suplement that has all the vits and that in????

Yey wifey for the dates. I cant wait to know for sure Did they show how to inject and everything yesterday?

Magpie, if you dont mind me asking, what clinic will you be at? I see you are from Lancashire, I live near Blackpool

welcome doodar

There is too much going on in here I cant keep up. Sorry if I have missed anything improtant

Reason for infertility: Male factor - <1M/ml
Years TTC: 2 Years
Treatment to date:
Bloods - All ok

Sperm currently being thawed to check it can survive. Please be strong.
Next stage:
Banking more sperm 22/08/2011
Hoping to start treatment Sep/Oct 11

 

[Doodar]

Tink did your hubby have to have surgical sperm extraction or was it a normal deposit! my hubby had surgical and they told us that the sperm might not survive the thaw process and that the majority of it was non motile or dead. I cried my eyes out and nearly cancelled treatment because of it, but it all turned out well in the end we ended up with 6 blastocysts.

 

[Tinks85]

Luckerly the banking is by normal deposit. The specialist yesterday said that there were only 1 or 2 good enough ones in the part of the sample they looked at last time. She did stress though that they only looked at a small part so there will be more than 1 or 2 but the numbers are very poor They are currently thawing part of yesterdays banking to see how will it survives or if it survives at all. I am a little nervous to say the least eeeeeeeeekkkkk

6 blastocyst from 1 cycle??? for frozen sperm??? You have really given me more hope hun, thank you

Yep 6 from one cycle and from frozen sperm. They said majority were dead and the rest non motile and of those few that were moving they were only twitching. So definately don't give up hope. Anythings possible.
