So ladies, only 10 DAYS LEFT until injections start!!! I am beyond excited and anxious! Holy crap, 10 days is soo soon from now and I'm so grateful we finally get this chance!
I am switching to a diet with AT LEAST 60gs of protein a day (I dont watch how much usually but I'm going to start, as studies prove it to increase egg health during stem meds by 40%!) and reducing sugar from my diet...guess I need to say bye to my favorite "food", candy,
...lol. The higher protein intake and less sugar intake, the better. And that's for both IVF and natural conception, since it helps egg health and all. So pork, steak, chicken, vegies, fruit, and Lots of avocados it is for me! Oh, and cant forget about eggs! Eating eggs is def a great source of protein!
. It'll be good for my body, and for our (hopefully) soon to be baby so I certainly have no problem with an even better diet change. I do already eat alot of fruits and veggies, but meat is where I'm def lacking protein intake. I read pork is best, followed by steak so I'm going to load up, lol. I'm actually about to cook some steak as I type this.
. I wanted to share that upping protein to 60+gs/day and removing as much sugar from ur diet as possible can highly benefit egg quality and quantity. And dont forget that folic acid! Lol. I've been obsessing over studies about foods and vitamins that have proven to up the odds of good quality eggs, if u cant tell.
Anyway, our IVF meds will arrive on Friday Apr 3rd, our next RE appt is Monday the 6th and our injection class/appt is on Wednesday the 8th and injections will start on Friday the 10th. I'm hoping my body responds well and quick to the stem meds and maybe ill get lucky and the retrieval will be April 27th, as I originally hoped. We shall see! No matter how long the stemming takes, I just pray for our sticky bean to be the chosen one at the end of it all. Fx! Lots of dust to Everyone!
