The Plan

We plan to start inseminating in November or December July. I’ve been preparing my body for the past year. I have started a diet and exercise program that was derailed when I broke my foot in December 2007. I have P C O S so we know this is an uphill battle. I have been taking Met.formin since October 2007. I take 500mg in the morning and 1000mg in the evening. I have been seeing an acupuncturist and herbalist. I have acupuncture every two weeks. Before I started having the acupuncture I was taking Pro.metr.ium to induce menstruation. I took 400mg each night on days 18-27 of my cycle. Since I started the acupuncture I haven’t needed the pro.me.trium to bring on menstruation. As for herbs, I take a formula called Resolve (Lower) designed to resolve ovar.ian and uter.ine cys.ts and fibr.oids. I take 3 capsules twice a day Menotrol. I take 3 caps every morning. On even days I take 3 in the evening and on odd days I take 2 in the evening. He switched me to the Menotrol after a 44 day cycle. It helps with irregular periods. So far it has helped. In addition to the Resolve Menotrol, I take Blossom (Phase 3) to promote ovulation. I take 4 capsules twice a day on days 10-18 of my cycle.

I will be taking Cl.0mid on days 3-7 and have an ultrasound on day 11. Then the R E will tell me when to take the trigger shot.
