Less than 3 weeks to go! ICSI Cycle #2

So its not long till Cycle #2. It seemed so far away when we were at our review on 30th March. 

We had big plans to be well rested, exercising more, eating healthy for this cycle, to be well prepared. 

For the most part Im really trying with the sleep side of things, maybe next week haha. I keep saying that.. there are just not enough hours in the day! 

Diet seems to be going great, the less junk i eat the more i want to eat healthy, I quit coffee again start of April and trying to do all the research I can on balanced eating to get my vitamin intake right, easier said than done. Im not able to take prenatal vitamins as NZ standards mean they have added iodine and i cant have that with my Thyroxine. DH is taking Menevit tho, wish we could have got him on it sooner but 6 weeks out is better than nothing. Supplements are not proven to help and can sometimes be harmful so consult your GP or midwife first, i have a GP appt next week to hopefully get my levels checked, particularly worried about my Iron.

Exercise, im still doing my stairclimbing at work, bikeriding on weekends and prenatal yoga every second day, not busting my hump as I want to maintain that exercise through stims, gonna find myself a heartrate monitor for my wrist. 

No acupuncture, no weird herbal recipes, no lemon water, pineapple core. Just keeping it simple. 

Still can not decide on ICSI, PICSI or IMSI. We will wait for DHs pre sample sample in a week or so and make some decisions from there. We are hoping to also freeze a sample too this time. Hopefully get that done before drug collection on 7th May.

Next post will be once I know whats happening.
