My nutritionist has changed my diet slightly. I will start a new juice on March 1st. Everything else pretty much remains the same. It's kind of fun to change it up a little although I wasn't really bored with the first juice yet. It was yummy!!!!My diet has made me feel so good that I have decided to put Dhiraj on it. He's not happy about it but since when do I listen to him;-)??

The moment of truth is finally here. I will be going first thing in the morning for a blood test per the dietician's order. The test results should be back next week sometime. I am a bit nervous but I hope to see some progress. I worked so hard on this diet.

Well....the diet is still going well. Even though it's not any fun to admit, I must tell you that I finally cheated. What could I do? I am visiting California at the moment and one day, Jack in the Box just did it for me. I had to have a nice juicy chicken sandwich. Although I felt terrible after eating the chicken sandwich in just 4 big bites (don't ask), it was yummy. C'mon people! I've

I have started a new diet that is supposed to lower my bad cholesterol and triglycerides level. Due to being on the fertility medications for so long, my total cholesterol has basically jumped through the roof. I contacted a dietician who helped my Mother with her RA (Rheumatoid Arthiritis) and decided to follow her diet. The diet mainly consists of vegetables and fruits with fish twice or

Here is information on some commonly used Fertility medicines:Lupron- Lupron Depot belongs to a class of drugs called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. It is used to decrease the body's production of specific hormones, natural chemicals that influence the behavior of certain cells. Because Lupron Depot can reduce the production of both male and female hormones, it is used to treat

Well, I went to my doctor's office on Wednesday to get my BETA HCG measured. It came out very low positive. The level was 10.5 (extremely low). My doctor didn't feel positive at all and told me to stop taking Progesterone shots and the Estrace pills. I was very heartbroken since this is the very first time that I had to experience something like this. It was sort of like someone pointing their

I haven't updated in a while so I will try to catch everyone up....So, I went for a supression check (to make sure my ovaries are quiet) and the nurse told me that I was responding well to the Lupron. Since she was so happy for me, she told me to start taking Doxicycline, Medrol, Aspirin, and Progesterone on November 19. I also received sharpie tatoos on my waist to pin point the location of

Friday, October 17, was the Karvachauth fast. For those of my friends, who do not know the significance of this fast, here is some explantation: Karvachauth- A fast that ensures the well-being, prosperity and longevity of their husbands, the festival of Karwa Chauth provides an opportunity for all married women to get close to their in-laws.

The process to do our FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) has finally started. A Progesterone blood test was taken at the consultation to determine whether I had ovulated or not. If I had ovulated, we would have had to wait for my cycle to come naturally. If I had not ovulated, which was the case, the process would begin almost immediately.As of Friday, October 17, 2008, I started my birth control pills

So we picked up our embryos from our old clinic today and transferred them to the new one. Although I was scared at first, the entire process was pretty smooth. Our old clinic let us borrow a tank for the transfer. When we reached the new clinic, the embryologist came out, opened the tank and took out something similar to an oxygen tank. He then proceeded towards the IVF lab with our precious

Tommorrow is a big day for us. We will be finally moving our embabies from one doctor's office to another. I must say that I am very nervous. I mean, is there a particular way to hold the tank in which the embabies are stored? What if we accidentally drop it? I hope not. Once we move the embabies to the new location, we will be also meeting with the doctor for an IVF consultation. The IVF

I had to deal with a big question this week. Should we save our frozen blastocysts or discard them? For my readers who do not know, a blastocyst is- a human embryo which has grown about 5-6 days in an IVF lab. It is an embryo which has developed to a point of having two cell components and a fluid cavity. A blastocyst is a special embryo that has reached a stage in development that requires

My name is Anu and I am one of the many women fighting my war to get pregnant and stay pregnant. This war has been going for about 8 years now. I have had 3 miscarriages since trying to bring a baby home. They all ended before the completion of the first trimester. I was heart broken each and everytime. With 3 angels to watch over us, we are going to start trying again this month.
