Start Afresh

Now that I am emotionally and spiritually equipped to continue on this journey.  Here's what I'm doing:

I started with Metformin again, but decided that maybe I need to go on a natural route becuase I want this to be a lifelong change, not meds with potential side effects that may not be great for my health.  So I researched and I looked into old things that worked for me.  So I began taking Inositol 1000mg per day (500mg day, 500mg night).  I then started to take a prenatal vitamin because that contains DHA (fish oil - omega 3s!).  I did that regimen for about a month and now I am doing the following:

Morning
Inositol 2000mg - GNC
Prenatal with DHA (OB Complete + DHA)
Baby Aspirin/Low Dose Asprin - 81 mg (great for my heart murmur and my clotting disorder)
Vitamin B6, B12, Folic Acid Complex 
  • B6 - 50mg
  • Folic Acid - 1000mcg
  • B12 - 125mcg
  • Calcium - 33mg
GNC Inositol 500
Holista B6, 12, Folic Acid
OB Complete DHA
Low Dose Asprin - 81 mg

 

Night

Soy Isoflavones - 280 mg of Isoflavones (cd 3-7 only)


Sundown Concentrated Soy Isoflavones

 


I have been doing exercise daily through my Wii game!  Go Wii!  It really makes a person work out hard!  I sweat rainstorms when I'm done!




I have also started using my Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor (from Ebay) along with bulk discount ovulation tests (from Amazon) and BBT (Basal Body Temperature) thermometer to track ovulation if and when it occurs.

So far on day 3 of the Soy Isoflavones and no side effects like I had with Clomid, so I don't know how well it's working, or could it be that my hormones are very balanced from the Inositol, so that could be the difference?  Who knows.

I hope to get pregnant soon, so that I it is times perfectly for when I graduate my RN program.  I would like to start a job and not have to take off for maternity leave because my OB/GYN said I will have to be on complete bedrest next time around.

I'm secretly (I guess not so secretly), hoping for twins or triplets even.  So that I can do one shot and not have to do pregnancy again for another child.  But I will take what God thinks is best for me.

Blessings all...
