Our kitchen morning vitamin/supplement run!!
The Spirulina powder is the worst, it's so yock it has to be good for ya!
Can you take spirulina in tablet form instead or does it have to be powder? The tablets I has we're only small round ones. I used to take it that way and you only tasted it for a second. It is a mank taste though

I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better. Its a very lonely place to be.
If ivf is the way for you can I just say from experience that once your doing it its easier to focus. When your sitting across the desk from the doctor and they are talking about it, it does scare you but once you're actually breaking it down into each step its manageable.
Its ok to be an emotional wreck. I've cried so much this year I didn't think it was possible. The people you deal with through the process are very understanding so don't feel you have to hide your feelings.
These no easy solution. If you want to cry do!
How is your OH copeing with all this?
Yeah he's fairly sad as well, quite down. He is really really focused on his diet and exercise regime though, he's in the gym as we speak...tried to persuade me to go - needless to say I'm sat here!
- he's going 3 times a week and eating all fish, veggies, off the drink etc etc. I think the SA results freaked the hell out of him, he said to me himself he thought he was the most fertile man in Ireland until he got those!
He does make me laugh though I have to say (shur if you can't laugh....) like I was explaining IUI and IVF wICSI to him and I said IUI is about putting the sperm and the egg in the same place and seeing what happens and he said ''So IUI is kind of like internet dating, but IVF is more like an arranged marriage?'

Yeah I got Spirulina tablets before though and they were so big they used to stick in my throat and I found them really hard to take so I said I'd try the powder this time. As Lucyfur said I need to start putting it into juice.
My shopping list for tomorrow evening late night shopping:
-Juicer/blender
-hand blender for making soup

Well at least he has a sense of humour about it. Its tough for the men. When the issue is with the women its a medical condition but for the men its always seen as abit of a laugh.
Good for him with the lifestyle changes they can help. Remember if you do the ivf you only need the same amount of sperm as eggs if you do ICSI so once he has some that's all he needs!
I know since the meeting in the clinic where the advised the women to take it easy on the exercise I didn't need to be told twice...........any excuse :-)0 -
