Meds, vitamins, herbs, and supplements, oh my!


Finally got all of my meds for IVF #1. The huge bags of needles are a little overwhelming, to say the least. So far, I've only sampled the Lupron; I really can't imagine getting through all these meds...but, I'm trying to follow orders, and take it one day at a time.

Other vitamins and herbs dh and I are taking include; prenatal (me), multi vit. and min.(both), Fertil Male (dh), Fertility Blend (me), Calm herbs (me - recommended by my acupuncturist), and baby aspirin.

Some dietary supplements include Pom juice, Superfood (w/ wheatgrass), Wheatgrass frozen juice, and Raspberry Leaf tea. Let me know if here's anything I'm missing!

***Recipe alert*** Dh made a wheatgrass smoothie... and it wasn't horrible, it was actually pretty good. What he said he used:

                        1 cup of Odwalla Superfood
                        2 wheatgrass frozen cubes
                        1 banana
                        1 orange (pulp and all)
                        1/3 cup blueberries
                        1/3 cup Pom juice
                        1 cup ice

Blend until smooth. It made 2 large smooties. Enjoy!
