over the years

My vitamins as of Sept 03, 2009
2009 BFP Infant Isabella
OH I did a little of everything, and it seems like I was always adding something new. I've been on dci since March, and I bake banana bread mostly. I've been only getting 600mg lately, but my body needs 1200. This 2ww I upped that to 1200. See I just moved and its been hard to bake.

I also think excersize in cd1-O is important for pcosers. Pink sway says only high impact cardio. Also lifting is important to pcos, the areas that show improvement, using chest, back, shoulders, biceps, triceps, lower back, butt and theighs. I did all since I was moving the day AF arrived. I moved so much that day I had a charley horse in my sleep. Moving took almost a week.

This cycle I added coQ-10 100mg, b/c of my age I wanted better egg quality.
Coenzyme Q-10 (COQ-10) - Helps support and improve mitochondrial (powerhouse of cells) function. During aging, the mitochondrial DNA is damaged by free radicals in our system contributing to poor egg quality occurring with aging.

I also brewed a tea with the following herbs (this I drank every day at first, but every few days the 2nd week):

Alfalfa - Aids in pituitary problems. This works well with fertility drugs.
Red Clover - Used to aid fertility. Take from menstruation to ovulation
Red Raspberry leaves - Strengthens the uterus and entire reproductive system. Can help prevent miscarriage.

cd 7-O Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) 2000mg - is a uterine toner and helps to increase the fertile quality cervical fluid. Regulates menstrual flow (scanty, dark flow) and aids in the lining of the uterus. It neutralizes over-acidity in the body. EPO should be taken the first half of the cycle - from mensturation to ovulation.

My vitamins
Vitamins, B complex 50mg -excess estrogen reducer -walmart b50 or b-complex
C bioflavonoids 500mg, health food store
D (d3) 500 IU -PCOSers are deficient in D3 -walmart also my prenatal has more d3 in it.
prenatals (pharmacy)
d-chiro-inositol, 600mg, PCOSers are deficient in d-chiro-inositol (minndak of course)

I took 150mg clomid and from cd 1-O (cd15) I took avandia for my IR

I tested early, 10dpo. I had had a dream that the nurse practitioner said "your pregnant and I think you have two in there", then I went home and a couple days later found out the guy we bought the house from wanted it back and he had that right and so we were moving into a tiny appartment and I was like "I cant move anything, Im pregnant" and I woke up. I decided testing was better than staying asleep at that point.

My cheap tests were so light the camera didnt pic it up well and I though evap, but my digi with SMU was like "pregnant" so theres no mistaking that, 10 dpo and I never thought I'd see a ticker that said 3wks 3 days.
In the past I took:
Vitamins, B complex 100mg -excess estrogen reducer -walmart b100 or b-complex
