Male Fertility Supplements, sperm, gender selection

I have been getting a lot of questions about male fertility supplements and whether or not they work or are worthwhile. Although there are many different formulations currently on the market, the key ingredient common to most of these is some form of...

Frustrated

Just got my beta back @ 17dp5dt. 206. ARRRHHH I am going to lose my mind. I am SO frustrated with all of this. I am going to meet with a Consultant on Friday. I have no idea what they are going to tell me and assume they will have me 'wait it out'...
 
An emotional journey in order to get my little girl!

It has been a year...

It has been a year since my little princess was defrosted & shot up into my uterus (sounds like poetry, right?). That day we sat nervously waiting to see how the embryos looked after being defrosted. I decided that morning to tell them I wanted to...

This blog was made to document the journey I took to find our dreamed and prayed for son

I was asked what supplments my dh took for our attempt

Some how the info got lost. So I dug around and found it. He did the diet 100%, he also abstained for 4 days before attempt. He was forced to be cold a lot and iced his balls. For supplements he took Zinc (raises testosterone) 50mg -One a day no more...

A little about me

Hi! I thought I should share a little about myself and life in general. I am a 30 year old stay at home mother to an 11 yr old son.....a son whose teen years I am afraid will be the end of me! His name is Rowdy which seems to be alot to live up to because...
 

Our Micro Sort Story...

Aug. 15, 2009 “As my wise grandmother has often said....there is never a good time to have a baby.....there will never be the right time in your career, a big enough house, enough money......but, babies take up as much space as you give them and are as...
 

Scientific studies + timing

One of the "truisms" in swaying is that timing is of minimal importance. Shettles' theories have largely been disproven, timing is listed as the least important of the seven swaying factors, and many assume that as long as the environment...
 

BFP 10 dpo

I concieved on Dec 3rd(same as my 1st!) and tested positive on the 13th but didn't know it until the 14th! When I took a test on the 14th and it looked positive, I got the one I took on the 13th to compare them(to make sure I wasn't seeing things...
 

We have a heartbeat!

Yesterday, I went in for my 6 week ultrasound, only I was 7 weeks 1 day. I went to a local HRC and a PA came in, introduced herself and performed my U/S. My DH and I saw our baby almost instantly, the PA said everything looked good and pointed out the...
 
I have 2 beautiful boys and thought I was "done" having kids. However, I know there is a void, an absence of some sort in my life. I can't help but think it's the absence of a little girl in my life. I'm not sure where that puts me... and these are my feelings on that.

On This Very Day...

September 10, 2008 is a day I'll never forget. I woke up nervous, excited, anxious... I was in Laguna Hills, California. Bill and I woke up early to go down to the Microsort office for him to give his sample. The morning was cloudy and cool and absolutely...

Our journey through the high tech world toacheive our dream of a daughter for some balance in our family.

So high tech was not the way for us

I have tried to figure out in my mind what to even say.. My embie did not survive the thaw.. I got the call on Nov 13, 2008 I had just left the accupuncturist and I was feeling great.. Then I saw I had 3 missed calls and I just KNEW!!! I called the RE...

We are getting close

Well, we have been saving money and just enjoying our life. I think we both really needed this time "off". I sort of lost myself going through this whole process. My relationship with DH has never been stronger and I have had some wonderful...
 

May 5, 2008

Today I went for my second ultrasound. I did not have my DH come with me because this is my 5th pregnancy and I thought everything would be fine. I have been feeling nauseous for most of the day. At the ultrasound the tech asked me what they told me at...
 

An Update!!!

Well the two week wait was a ferocious one but my mind was not on our implanting little girl all of the time. I lost my grandfather- my poor sweet grandfather. He was so proud, so strong all the time it was an epic loss to not have him here with us anymore...
 
my journey through swaying the odds towards twin girls.

on the spot

so I thought we would have a week of experiments since dh needed to "clean his pipes" every day before our actual attempt, and of course a week is plenty of time to get it figured out right?! Yeah, that is if you don't ovulate a week early...
 
I wanted this blog to keep track of my attempt. Hopefully, it will help to verbalize my actions. I really would love to add a third child to our home which consists of myself, DH, and 2 adorable DS's!

Just getting my blog started...

Well, I'm new to this blog thing, so I hope I'm writing in the correct area... Anyway, I wanted to keep this blog as a diary of my attempt. It always helps to verbalize your thoughts and actions when you are trying really hard for something. Well...
 

BFN

Well no BFP for me. I will take a break for a while and see about coming back at some other time. I'm thinking that I will wait to see what happens with Microsort. Best of luck to all of those on their journey. Hope my blog helps some of you....CD...

It's not looking good!

I seriously can't catch a break . I called Cigna before accepting the job at Talbots JUST to make sure that there was indeed infertility coverage, and that my doctor was in network. I was told that there weren't any exclusions, so I thought that I would...
 
Living in a testosterone zone and hoping for some girly company.

I finally did it!

I am finding staying on the girl diet really hard, so I decided to first focus on the supplements and then go from there. And today I managed to get them all in! Breakfast: Yogurt, Cal-Mag, Cranberry, Cup of chocolate milk, 2 cups water Lunch: Low-salt...
 

My first steps towards my little girl.....

I will start by telling you that I did not try to have my first son. He was a surprize! Then after 2 and a half years my husband was really wanting another child, I said ok after mounths of him asking for the baby . I did not know that there was anything...

Misleading "Slate" article slurs PGD

"Now you can design your own baby. But should you?" is the tantalizing teaser for this week's much-quoted article about preimplantation genetic diagnosis in the online magazine Slate. The inaccurate and sensational lead-in is entirely appropriate for...
 
Danielle is a mother of two boys, and used Acu-Gen's Baby Gender Mentor test to learn whether her third baby, due in December 2005, is a boy or a girl.

She is all I ever dreamed she would be!

As I sit here holding this baby girl, I am in awe of her beauty. Her sweet lips and soft skin are to die for and her little coo sounds of contentment make my heart melt. I am so in love with her- as is my entire family. She is a miracle! A liitle girl...
 

And so my journey begins

When I had my second son, 4 years ago, I knew I wasn't finished. I knew that there was at least one more little being waiting to come to life. I knew though that I had to take a bit of a breather. My oldest son David will be 6 this coming Sunday and my...
 

The day of truth

Well today is the day I have been waiting for. The day I can test to see if the MS IUI worked. I did not test today, but I did test yesterday and got a BFN. It is really dissapointing to keep seeing negatives. So I decided I would not torture myself today...
 

CD 11

CD 11 I had my first monitoring ultrasound today. Everything looks good. I have “3, maybe 4” follicles that look like they will be ready come IUI time. I can’t remember for certain, but I think they ranged from 14-18. I have 2 more days of repronex (for...
 

Surely THIS is NOT labor!?!?!

It was an uneventful evening after the afternoon stress test I had just had. I got my boys in bed, my dh was playing online poker, I took a nice warm bath and got into bed to watch the news! I was watching the preparations for the "rose bowl" parade....
 

I'm Home

I decided to fly home Saturday night and excape back into my own element. It sure did help I felt a lot better being home with my family than alone in La La land. I am now trying to gather my thoughts to write a letter to dr. potter asking for answers...
