FET#1.5 - Let The Building Begin

On my mark... Get set... Go!

Today I start the following:

Estrogen patches every other day
L-Arginine 2x/day
Vitamin E 1x/day
Baby Aspirin 1x/day
Lupron 5iu 1x/day
Acupuncture 2x/week

In addition to what I've already been taking:

Wheatgrass Juice 1x/day
Prenatal 2x/day
Folic Acid 2x/day
CoQ10 1x/day
L-Carnitine 1x/day
Probiotics 1x/day
Omega 3's 1x/day

For the body, I've been trying to get some kind of exercise each day. For diet, I've cut out all processed foods and sugar. For the mind, I listen to my hypno recordings every night and read a book on the power of our words and being positive.

Today I also:

Booked our flights
Reserved our rental car
Scheduled my blood draws and u/s
Scheduled my acup appts locally and in Denver

Left to do:

Book our hotel
Order more estrogen/progesterone
Schedule another HynpoFertility session

Building a nice lining sure is a lot of work!  Seven, this is all for you baby! I can't believe it, I thought it would never get here and now it's only 2w5d away!!!

On a side note, can I tell you how nice it is to have some estrogen back in my system?? Kerry can! I feel soooo much better and I'm nice again. =)

  10. You are down to the wire, Jill! Woohoo! Get that estrogen flow and fluff up that lining nice and good:)

    Thank you for taking the time to read the Caring Bridge sites from my last blog post. I have read them and some of the guestbook entries every day and I have been moved to tears too many times to count. I just can't believe that such a thing could happen. I will be going to the wake/visitation on Sunday evening to give support to my family friend/ex-boyfriend.

  11. I'm sure it feels so good to get through all these steps! I can relate to feeling great on the estrogen - as it sounds like a lot of us can!

  14. I'm going to comment here again. You may want consider stopping the L-arginine, CO-Q 10, and wheatgrass juice while you are building your lining. I think those things are more for egg quality, and not so much for building your lining. I never noticed that any of these helped with my lining. I also ditched the L-arginine and CoQ-10 when it didn't seem to help with my egg quality either. I think it depends on if you are kidney yin deficient or kidney yang deficient. I'm kidney yin deficient, and these things don't help as much for me. Just my ass-vice, for what it's worth!!
