Shakeology

Shakeology is not a weight loss shake and it’s not a protein shake. It is a super food shake that has the right amount of protein to carb ratio to replace a complete meal! To be honest I purchased Shakeology in 2016, tried it a couple times then pushed it to the side. When I started getting serious about my health I decided to give it another try and this time I fell in love with the Shakes-George too! They replace one of our meals and keep us full for 2-3 hours. I replace breakfast with my shake-sometimes I will have two shakes a day...Yes, I love them that much! Thanks to my café latte shakes I haven’t had Starbucks in 6 months! I use to be so basic and drink Starbucks like everyday!!!! Going through IVF can be hard on the body- Shakeo gives me the nutrients I need to feel my best. I honestly wake up every morning craving it!



Ok, you have heard me talk a lot about Shakeology and how it’s soooo great for you, but let’s break it down. We are a society that is built on facts so here they are.
*it’s a whole food
*Curbs your Hunger
*Daily dose of dense nutrition
*Helps with weight loss
*Healthy sweet fix during the day
*It contains no processed ingredients, chemicals, or artificial sugars
*Once scoop is like eating 5 plates of veggies and fruits
* You can tell when your not drinking it
*Your skin, nails and hair will be healthier and stronger
I hear the same thing over and over "it's too expensive" Well its really not.. When you do the math it comes out to $5 a day! I don't know about you but I spend $5 a day on pointless stuff that does nothing for me. Also, if you hit up Starbucks or any fast food restaurant you are going to spend that much or maybe even more. This is my secret to having control of my health, and it's too awesome not to share!
Check out the comparisons and what shakeo does for you below.

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...

Week 2- Stimulation Phase

Night Time Routine The Fertility and IVF world call this “STIMS” This is the process where you are now stimulating your ovaries. This is how I think of it: you are taking your normal size ovaries (almond size) and growing them to the size of oranges. In a normal cycle, you produce ONE egg each month! Well thanks to stimulation you start producing WAY more than one egg, and yes you can feel it!! A lot of girls describe it as a fluttery feeling in their stomach. During the stimulation phase, you visit the doctors frequently, they do blood work and ultrasounds to check your follicles. This is important because it lets you know if your body is or isn't responding to the medications. All my needles for the week! Monday - We started injections- George is a master at this, thank gosh because I did not want to give myself shots!! I started with Gonal and Menopur, both are stimulation medications. The shots are done in the stomach and don’t hurt too bad- little sting an...

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...
