The good news

A few months ago, in August, I had a very depressing visit with my RE in which she told me my follicle count was very low (9) and so my egg quality was in question.  I went through all the requisite testing and for the next few months was CRAZY about my diet and vitamins. I gave up GLUTEN ( and believe me, everything has gluten) and took 9 different vitamins a day some of them a few times a day according to the doc's instructions.  I had already given up caffeine and alcohol because I had read a bunch of studies talking about the 3 months before conception as a critical nutrient window ( who knows if its true but i'm that way with things). Last week I had an US to check for cysts before beginning clomid and it turns out my follicle count is up to 22!

I am very excited. Hooray for the sacrifice of bagel and all things yummy!

That's awesome!  Changing the diet is so much easier once you start to see results--makes it all seem worth it :-)

 



TTC #1 since 8/2012

Chronic Pelvic Pain Condition began 10/2012, so TTC kind of on hold

Told it was "in my head" or that "nothing is really wrong" by several doctors until....

DX 4/2013: labral tear in left hip

My ball joint is pushing out on the ilio psoas tendon causing all the nerves in my pelvic floor and also deep inside to be inflamed.

Hip Injection: 4/10/2013......no relief

Surgery consult: 5/15/2013

Surgery Scheduled for 5/31/2013!!!

Ready to put this shiit behind me and move on!!!!
