Other than that everything seems to be going well. I have lost 5 pounds since I started limited sugar and only eating good carbs! This also included zero exercise as my ankle is just starting to feel better so I was really shocked I lost so much.
Speaking of loosing weight, upping my calories to 2300 a day has not been working. I just haven't figured out a way to eat 500-700 more healthy calories a day and I really need to figure it out soon. Loosing a few more pounds, maybe 5 more, would be good but any more than that and all of my precious curves will go right out the window. Hell I am a 36A as it is, I can't afford to go much smaller. I know what you may be thinking, "is she really that worried about her boobs" and the answer is yes I totally am. I like not being so flat that I look like a boy.
In reproductive news, my RE emailed me and told me I need to completely cut out the every other day red wine consumption as it may mask a glucose issue. I googled red wine and blood sugar as I have never heard this and red wine in fact does lower your blood sugar. Interesting? yes. Think its my problem? No. I have had the fasting glucose test done tons of times in the past few years and it has always come back fine and the red wine is a new thing for me. So as of today the IVF coordinator told me I have to cut out all alcohol, not just red wine and they are going to redo the fasting test in two weeks. I have a feeling that even after that they are going to want me to stay off alcohol until I get pregnant which should be entertaining as I haven't had a successful pregnancy in four years . I may be limiting this experiment to six months...if my periods return to normal and it seems like we have forward movement on the pregnancy front I will continue on, if not then I am done. Oh, and St. Patty's Day doesn't count because I am Irish and it would be a crime for me to not drink on St. Patty's Day.
