Procrastinating

Put it off... while we renovate the house.

5.26am Wide Awake

Been awake for about x2 hours. Can't sleep. Have our appointment with the fertility doctor tomorrow today - anxious.

Daily Vitamins /Medication - Preventing Recurrent Miscarriage

Oh dear, here we go again... just spoke to my naturopath, told her we are about to try for baby number 2. She's given me a familiar diet of vitamins.

Here's the list (I didn't record everything it last time because I was overwhelmed and confused by it all - but I have a better grip this time).

Standard vitamins (anyone can take):

• Tresos Natal by Eagle, x1 per day (last time I took Thorne prenatal, x3 per day)
• Probiotics, x1 per day
• DefenCell by Nutrigenomic, x1 tablet twice a day (Anti-oxidants, last time I took Oxyvital)
• Aspirin, 75mg per day (take 1 month before egg transfer)
• Clexane injection, x1 injection per day from time of positive pregnancy test
• Omega fish oil, x1 per day (Nordic Naturals prenatal DHA, or BioActive Lipids by Orthoplex)
• Traumaeel, x1 tablet three times a day (start from embryo transfer, take for first 12 weeks)
• Cerebrum comp by Heel, x1 tablet twice a day (start from embryo transfer)

Vitamins specific to me (based on ineffective DNA results):

• Vitamin D by Eagle, x4 drops per day
• Optimal PC by Seekinh Health, x1 per day (phospholipid complex, this is apparently very important for me)
• Ubiquinol by BioBalance, x1 per day

That's x15 pills/injections/drops per day. 

Note: I'm not taking the Biobalance vitiman B this time because apparently the DefenCell & Tresos Natal tablet has enough vit Bs (5 methylfolate) in it. 

Oh, it's my birthday today! I'm 42.

Planning Baby Number 2

So my beautiful, precious, miracle baby girl is 13 months old. She's healthy as anything and walking. We feel like the most lucky parents in the world. She's brought such happiness. Thank you God.

I'm 42 in March, and currently mentally preparing to try for baby number 2.

We have x4 frozen embryos, that means 4 goes at being a multi-child family. If they don't work we'll stop.

With this whole MTHFR and anti-folic-acid theory in mind, it will be interesting to see if I get pregnant again.
