The Twelve Week Plan


1. Change Diet & Excercise:

- For the next 12 weeks Jeremy and I will be doing body for life. We did this before we got married and I lost 40 lbs in 8 weeks...


2. Vitamins: Jeremy will be taking fertilaid for men for the next 12 weeks. This is suppose to help make his swimmers stronger
In addition to my prenatal vitamins I will also be taking vitex and red clover.

3. IUI:

Jeremy just got an unexpected bonus from work (PRAISE GOD) so we plan on scheduling our first iui in 12 weeks. For those of you who don't know...iui is when the dr. washes your husband's sperm sample and injects the good sperm into you ideally around the time you ovulate since washed sperm can only surrive around 8 hours.

Jeremy and I will be praying about God's plan through this time, and afterwards whatever happens. Right now Jeremy only wants to do one IUI. He says if the iui treatment is not sucessful that he wants to save for IVF...which could take us forever and a day :) It is at LEAST $15,000. Not pocket change for us. However, if God leads us through our time of prayer to do more IUI treatments, or no treatments...or hopefully getting pregnant before treatment or pregnant through iui we will obviously be open to what God wants whatever that means.

For now we have a 12 week plan. It should be an interesting ride.

I'm glad that you guys have some direction - that is always comforting to me when I have a plan. That is awesome that Jeremy got that unexpected bonus! I will be praying for you that during this 12 weeks, God guides you!
