Today we went to a birthday picnic for a friend and then to our acupuncture consult. The dr was running a bit behind but I really liked him. He even "poked" both of us with a needle so I could know what to expect. He said mosquito bite and I kinda agree. Not bad!! I felt immediately relieved. Although I felt like I had made a bunch of mistakes with what I have been eating and kinda feel guilty of my diet or lack there of. We aren't unhealthy by any means but there are definitely going to be some changes. For instance I had iced green tea this afternoon. So I am now going to try to follow a much healthier diet....well low carbs and includes no dairy, no cold anything (even salad) and no raw anything (such as veggies). I have only had to go on diets when I had the oh so lovely OHSS twice before. I am willing to do it...if it will help then I'm game. He gave me a big list of do's and don'ts and hubby and I are going to go shopping tomorrow evening. Yay, that hubby is so willing to do whatever he needs to help me out...including diet change! And he is happy since the Dr said increase red meat which I really don't eat of lot of. So my ice cream reward for my PIO injections are a thing of the past. I am actually secretly glad this happened....I have gained quite a bit of weight with all this med and whatever else so I am hopeful it could help with that too. I am really hopeful acupuncture will be a big help. We will do a pre and post session on Monday with our transfer and go from there.
Tomorrow we are going to the A's vs the Giants baseball game with my family. Should be fun....and we have box seats. With food (we shall see what I can eat!) I am glad this weekend has been busy, it is helping to keep my mind busy. I am starting to worry a bit about Monday. I am hopeful that our 2 frosties will make it out of thaw and we will still have 3 left for another time.
Hubby and I went to see Kung Fu Panda 2 tonight. I loved it and I cried more than once. What a nice way to end the night.
Just wanted to stop in and let you know that I was thinking of you today!! Good luck with everything...I know everything will go great! I too am doing acupuncture before and after transfer and am hoping this will help! Have fun at the game!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that your acupuncture is going well! I heard the same about diet changes. I implemented them to the letter. Unfortunately, it didn't work for us, so I've been on a bit of a break from it all... but I'll pick it back up when we start up again next month. Wishing you the best!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the FET and the acupuncture. I've heard nothing but great things, and positive results, from acupuncture.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from ICLW!

ReplyDeleteHey Kelli! I know this is an old post but I'm curious about the diet changes you referenced...why no raw veggies??? Hope all is well!
