Girls....can you help me?

As I have been babbling on about starting our treatment, I have forgotten to ask you more experienced IVFers for some advice. Can you help me out with this?

what should I be eating?, what should I not be eating?, should I be exercising? should I avoid exercise (not hard in my case!), we're going to be off the booze but is there anything I should or shouldn't be drinking?

5 more sleeps whahooo!...

La di da di da

Gee...this waiting thing is hard, and I know its the first of many. Just can't wait till next Tuesday, just can't wait to try, even if it fails we will be making progress.

Signed us up for ballroom/latin dancing classes today, we start in a few weeks. We might even look quite groovy at our wedding next year. The classes are on a Friday night so it will help with the mission to cut down on alcohol. Only problem the village hall is next to the wine bar!

7 more sleeps....

Things to do to pass the time.....

Saw this online and it made me smile.....

I present the infertility version of the shuffle game. What you do is set your music player to shuffle. Skip through your random playlist, and each consecutive song that comes up is the answer to the following questions in order

The song for the you that existed before you ever thought about your fertility:
I gotta try – Michael McDonald (I always wanted to try, just didn’t think it would be this way).

2. Would you really want to go back and be that person again?
Church of the poison mind – Culture club (obviously not!)

3. The song for when you first started fertility treatments:
Never know - Jack Johnson (ain’t that the truth)

4. What did infertility do to your sex life?
Young guns (go for it) - Wham (she smiles….)

5. What about superstitions and fertility rituals?
Upside Down - Diana Ross (I’ll try anything if it will have the remotest chance of working).

2 weeks tomorrow and we start the drugs....watch kettle and all that. Be back soon, when the good stuff starts.

Hopes and dreams start here.....

I thought I would start this online diary so my nearest and dearest can check how I'm doing anytime they like.

The journey started today. I wonder where it will end, will it be tears of happiness or tears of despair? Today I start what I am lead to believe is one of the most difficult experiences a woman can go through.

Today we start our IVF journey.

It was day 1 today, which was a relief. Day 1 means you can call the centre and book your day 21 appointment. Day 21 is the day the drugs start.....what happens after that is a bit of a blur to be honest but I intend to take it one step at a time because the whole thing is a little too scary at the moment.

I can't help starting to dream and I know this is dangerous. I am hopeful optimist who's in touch with reality and the chances are this won't work.

So lets just keep everything crossed and hope for the best.
