Health, Exercise and Supplements

Before I started IVF I began Beachbody. I was depressed and beyond stressed about everything which caused me to gain 20lbs and feel absolutely horrible about myself. I fell in love with the programs and actually stuck with it which eventually lead me to fall in love with it! Not only was I able to lose the weight I was able to change my entire life-yes from working out and eating healthy. I wasn’t depressed anymore; my confidence was back and I was positive and happy again!
Since it helped me so much I decided to share my experiences. Starting November 1st, I will be preparing for my second IVF cycle (Jan 2018-unless I get cold feet). Since my last cycle failed I am changing up a few things and giving it 150% instead of 100%!! I JUST WANT IT TO WORK!!!!

HEALTH- I will be going Vegan- well I say vegan but I eat fish and shrimp. But NO chicken, pork, red meat, cheese or bread.  YES, it is hard but its only hard for the first week or two, after that it’s a breeze!! I will share recipes and how I stay on track and not slip up. Oh I will eat my Thanksgiving meal and Christmas without being Vegan- A few cheat days won’t kill me and its freaking Thanksgiving and Christmas! So I say I’m going vegan but I guess I’m really just cutting out a lot of foods from my diet.

EXERCISE- THIS IS HUGE FOR ME! I will be doing 4 different programs!! Clean Week, A Little Obsessed, Shaun Week and 21-day Fix. I have never done clean week or a little obsessed (new programs), I can’t wait to try them. These programs work and are set up to help exercising become a habit. As you can tell it has for me! I am always looking for people to join me- if you want to jump start your health I promise this is the way to go!! I will share my experiences from each program, next week I will start clean week- So stay tuned!!!!!

SUPPLEMENTS- I am not into taking medicines these days. I use to pop headache medicine all day everyday but now I always feel healthy and don’t have “pain” anymore. I will do a blog post separately on the supplements I am taking to help boost my egg quality!

Egg Retrieval & The 5 Day Wait

Goodbye Shots!!!!!! The trigger shot was a success. Egg Retrieval Time!! It really doesn't hurt-Promise! Incase you don't know what Egg Retrieval is.... Here’s how it works: the doctor will use an ultrasound to identify your ovaries. Your doctor will gently guide a needle attached to a catheter through the vaginal wall. One by one, the eggs will be drawn out using light suction. They’ll be collected in test tubes labeled with your name number, which will then be handed off to the embryologist—an expert in the science of oocyte cryopreservation (the technical term for egg freezing). Before you leave the office,  you will know how many eggs were retrieved and moved to the embryology lab. The doctors write the number of eggs on your hand! The next day they call to let you know how many of your eggs were able to be fertilized, they consider this day 1. They continue to update you on day 3 and 5. If you have embryos make it to day 5 they are considered good and re...

August - How IVF starts

The Beginning: First you meet with the IVF coordinator for an ART review- This meeting last about 3 hours! This is where they go into details about your schedule, medicines and procedures. OH and sign your life away and get a HUGE medical bill- The doctor came in and spoke to us, which put me at ease. I was literally shaking when we stepped foot in that office. It's scary! What scares me the most is that there's only a 50% chance of it working. LIKE WHAT THE HECK!!!!!! But I'm staying positive and believing our first cycle will be successful! I left feeling excited- the process is absolutely amazing. If I could go back in time I would be an embryologist. (not really) I imagine you have to be SUPER SMART for all that lol...I can't wait to share what his part of the process is!! ITS SO FREAKING COOL how they make a baby outside of the body, yall!! Ok so this is where I'm at now..... When you start your period you start birth control. funny how that works! I...

Why I believe in Beachbody so much!!

Ok so I know you're all thinking of course she would do a blog about Beachbody.. well yes I am and No I'm not sorry about it!!!! YES at first I thought this whole thing was a scam but it kept coming back to my life over and over again so I took the chance and here I am! This company has changed my life in 3 short months and I know it can change so many other lives. I don't want anyone to miss out on it- you can't hate me for that!!!!!😍 Like I mentioned before after surgery in January things started going south really fast. I wasn't doing anything I loved.  I hated that I knew something was wrong with me and I couldn't fix it. Basically I WAS NEGATIVE NANCY! Fast forward to May- I was over feeling negative!! I followed a girl I use to work with on Instagram and was immediately drawn to her life. She was a teacher who quit her teaching job and made her passion (beachbody) a job- it was her new reality and now she was a stay at home working mom! I was over...
