Thanks for the feedback :) I know it's mostly a chemo side effect because when he was tested after chemo, his testosterone was VERY low. But I figured I'd ask to see if I could rule out other options. I guess we'll have to have him retested. The whole process is so complicated though. They don't want to put him on medicine…

Now for the wedding pictures...

I have a question for all the ladies with infertility issues because of the husband... do you feel like when he knows it's because of him, that he looses his sex drive? Sorry, I know thats a personal question. My husband has had none what-so-ever for about a year and half (since he was diagnosed with cancer again right…

kcurtis05: I'm sorry that sucks. I've noticed that as I've gotten older, and life has changed where I've become busy and don't have time for "girltime" every night of the week that friends have fallen to the wayside. It's tough. I know it's frustrating but I'm sure as they move on and have different life events that things…

I think the calorie intake is based on whatever activity level you put in when you made your account. Ex: I put that I have low activity because I have a desk job. So whenever I'm very active, like when I help cover the mailroom and am walking all over the building, I input that activity as exercise and eat the…

Luki, congratulations on the foreign exchange student! I've always wanted to do that and have thought about hiring an au pair for a year when we have our first baby too (haha, like we could afford that...nope!). But we thought the cultural experience would be fun :) Jalara, hang in there! I fluctuate like that sometimes…

My name is Shannon and I live in Texas. My hubby and will be married two years in November. I'm a corporate receptionist, and pursuing a writing career in my freetime. My husband has had cancer three times in the past three years, and the chemotherapy killed his sperm production (along with pretty much every other side…

Hey Everyone! I am back! I've been MIA for about a week. I went to Kentucky with the hubby to dress up, wear a fancy hat, and participate in lots of derby events. I tried to watch what I ate for the most part, but I didn't get on my fitness pal because I was crazy busy!! So, the craziest thing happened to me while on…

Happy Monday Everyone!!! :) I will be around through tomorrow and then I will be MIA because Im flying to Kentucky for the Derby!! :) I got the cutest dress and amazing decorated hat to match :) SO excited!

It was so pretty :) Anyways, I loved everything about the wedding and it makes me want to get married all over again and have a "royal wedding." lol. I have it DVR'd so I'm very excited to go…

Awesome idea, Pam!! 1. Prayer - This is my #1 too for many reasons. I pray that God will bless me and send me down the right path. I pray about my fears and frustrations. I pray about how badly I want to be a mom and have a baby with my husband and about how sad it makes me that we can't concieve naturally on top of…

Dragonairis: Check out PCOSchallenge.com. There is a TON of great info and there is a section with information on dieting. I also got a new book that I LOVE called "The Fertility Diet" and it talks about dieting to get pregnant with PCOS :)

Pam, it sound like you're making a lot of great changes!!! I've thought about trying the ezekial bread but havent gotten up the guts yet. I really don't eat a lot of bread anyways so I doubt it would make a big difference. I've been eating nuts for my "mid-morning snack" and it's great! I feel full through the morning and…

Hey ladies, Hope everyone has had a great week!! I just wanted to drop by and say that I will probably be MIA this weekend because of all the family stuff but I hope everyone has a HAPPY EASTER!!! :) Blessings and baby dust!

I made some pretty healthy enchiladas last night and they were YUMMY!!! :) I figured I'd share my recipe :) Healthy Enchiladas (Recipe is for 1 serving; adjust for more people) Ingredients: ■Mission Extra Thin Corn Tortillas ■Organic Onions ■Organic Spinach ■Horizon…

Kah, sorry you're having a bad day :( Hopefully the pants can be turned into black pants and you find a great pair of khakis for Easter! Do you have a TJMaxx near you? I went about a month ago and got some super cute and great fitting dress pants for work for $7 each!!! I bet they'll have something reasonable and cute. And…

Pam, Sorry about the gained weight. I hate when that happens. But I'm sure it will melt right back off!!! I definately get like that when I hear how food is processed... like dollar menu items for example... the meat they use for that used to be only used for dog food. And they kill the bacteria by shoving it through a…

History - Congratulations! That is so very exciting :) Sprinkle some of that baby dust our way :) Ivy - Subway is much better than Taco Bell or McDonalds! I wouldn't worry about it too much! And I don't know what you ordered, but if you substitute the chips for chicken noodle soup, its only 60calories and yummy! I always…

Luki, I ordered my yoga DVD on amazon.com :) Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OVFAA4 I'm super interested to see how it works! But hey anything where I can combine weight loss with improving fertility is worth a shot!!! :) I also ordered a book about foods to eat when trying to concieve that is really…

Ivy, my doctor said that doing small meals throughout the day is the best way to lose weight, especially if you have PCOS. It's also good to focus on plant protiens like beans and nuts and try to avoid carbs. I've been doing it for about a month now and my clothes have already become loose! I haven't actually weighed in…

For any PCOS ladies: I found this website earlier and looooove it! It reminds me of the biggest loser or one of those shows but for PCOS!!! It's worth checking out :) http://www.pcoschallenge.com/

Ok so I know I just posted, but I am SO excited! My husband's aunt works for a company that does teacher training, creates helpful teaching products, does conferences, etc. So anyways, my hubby helps out with the conferences about once a year when they come to town and the ladies have really taken a liking to him (my…

Kah, I think you really hit it on the head. It's that in-between time that gets me. But I also realize that there are many couples who have waited a VERY long time for their families so I am greatful that we are just starting the process. I feel like once we do have a child, we will appreciate it so much more and truly…

My baby fever is getting the best of me today. All of these young girls(high school age) I know keep complaining on facebook this morning about what a pain it is to be having a baby and I'm forcing myself to bite my tongue. I don't know whether I feel like yelling at one of them or crying. It's so frustrating to want…

Way to go! Thats so exciting!

Dragonairis-- I've never had problems myself but I've had lots of friends who have. I've heard that taking it with a very-high protien meal helps. I personally can take it on an empty stomach and be fine, but maybe its the brand or something. Maybe try switching brands? It could be whatever they add to hold the pill…
