Hi everyone,
As promised I am updating you on the progress of the 'natural' fertility therapy. I had my blood drawn today and so did DH, I have to admit, it was kind of nice to hear a doctor say that it takes two to make a baby and thus he likes treating both patients at the same time, so DH is in for it he he he... any how, he has ordered a bunch of tests, from full blood counts to all the typical suspects including some that I had never even heard of before... we will get our results on Friday and then we will find out what exactly we will need for the actual therapy as he tailors it depending on individual needs. For the meantime, he has put me on some supplements which I will take all the way through my pregnancy (please please please!!!!) and has taken me off soft cheeses (cottage is o.k) and fish as there has been links to miscarriages... DH is on supplements to help his swimmers even though he has a normal sperm count as they are supposed to help make really healthy sperm, which my regular specialist had never ever told us about :(
all in all we are hopful and crossing our fingers!!!
I will let you know more when the results come back and what the treatment will entail after the weekend!!!
Lots of love and extra sticky baby dust!!!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
