Drunken Cheerleader Book Review

I just realized I never shared what I thought of "Every Drunken Cheerleader... Why Not Me?"

Fist, the title, rocks! It is something I have said over the years, minus the cheerleader part, to friends who were trying to get pregnant "just get drunk and screw like a teenager, works for them!". But, when it came my time, that advice doesn't really help, at all.

Back to the book...

This book is straight from the heart, reads as if I wrote it myself. If you are just starting out on your journey of being infertile, get this book. If you are knee-deep into it, the book will remind you of where you came from but may not provide much help for the future.

The book provides a chance to realize you are not alone and in the end, some hope. It was a quick read and a great book to share with your spouse as well.

There you go, I recommend you buy it, read it, share it and tell your friends about it. You never know if one of them is going through infertility and could use a resource that won't tell them to "just relax" each month.

Enjoying a break

As Spring approaches and soon summer, I can't help but be happy that finally we will be able to open our windows and enjoy everything that comes with the seasons. Our next IVF will be in the Fall. Having this timeline adds a sense of relaxation to the whole baby making craziness. How so? For starters I am not looking on the baby boards as often, I have decided to stop using OPK's and enjoy a bottle of wine or two along the way. If we get pregnant naturally then that will be an added surprise but since it hasn't happened yet for us, I doubt it will. So why stress?!

Our plan the next few months? Try our best to get in the best shape we can. IVF takes a toll on your body along with the stress. And if we are so blessed to become pregnant in the Fall, who wants to be out of shape when that happens. So, 5 months of focusing on our health should help keep baby off the brain!
