  • https://mylifeasacasestudy.wordpress.com/about/ About | My Life As A Case Study - I am 33 34 years old. I was a smart, fat, extremely sensitive yet precocious kid. I was diagnosed with PCOS at age 18, but I started eating healthy and exercising so I've been having regular periods and ovulating for most of my adult life. However, I still have to shave my face every day…
  • https://mylifeasacasestudy.wordpress.com/iui-1/ IUI #1 | My Life As A Case Study - IUI #1 (November 2013) We started out this process very optimistically, with Dr. Angel telling me that the last time he used this protocol it resulted in triplets! Mr. MLACS and I have been pregnant twice naturally, and our friends (who have MFI) got pregnant on their first IUI, so we figured this would yield…
  • https://mylifeasacasestudy.wordpress.com/iui-2/ IUI #2 | My Life As A Case Study - IUI #2 (December 2013) I was heartbroken after IUI #1 failed. I suffer from depression and anxiety (for which I take Wellbutrin) and I was flooded with negative thoughts and emotions in the wake of IUI #1, which I could not control. I found brief moments of peace and consolation, which were quickly overpowered by…
  • https://mylifeasacasestudy.wordpress.com/iui-3/ IUI #3 | My Life As A Case Study - I started the process of IUI #3 on the heels of failed IUI #2 (oh, and everything else that could go wrong, WENT WRONG). It was definitely a test of our marriage, dealing with all this crap at once, but overall we did well and came out stronger. Dr. Angel agreed to discontinue the use…
  • https://mylifeasacasestudy.wordpress.com/iui-4/ IUI #4 | My Life As A Case Study - I decided to do another IUI with Dr. Angel before moving on with the RE. On a practical note, I had four more vials of Mr. MLACS's frozen 'spawn' at my disposal, so why not? It was not premeditated, so it was rather difficult to put it together last-minute but I was amenable to using…
  • https://mylifeasacasestudy.wordpress.com/iui-5/ IUI #5 | My Life As A Case Study - IUI #5 was our first IUI with the RE, "Dr. Diet". We were hopeful because his protocol was more aggressive, we switched meds (from Bravelle to Gonal-F), and he can process sperm and perform the IUI in his clinic (whereas we had to obtain our washed sperm from a different clinic, and then take it…
  • https://mylifeasacasestudy.wordpress.com/iui-6/ IUI #6 | My Life As A Case Study - This IUI was ridiculously simple compared to our other IUI's. It was unmedicated and virtually unmonitored. There were no pills or shots. CD 11 until ovulation: Used Clear Blue Digital OPK (the one with either an empty circle or smiley face--no "blinky" face) CD 16: Went to see Dr. Angel and check to see if…
  • https://mylifeasacasestudy.wordpress.com/workouts/ Workouts | My Life As A Case Study - I decided to create a page with You Tube workouts I've actually attempted done, just in case you might be looking for something new or an alternative to going to the gym--I was inspired because we're snowed-in but I want to stay on-track. I'm a former athlete and trainer so I added what fitness level…
  • https://mylifeasacasestudy.wordpress.com/2016/10/27/love-is-fear/ Love Is Fear | My Life As A Case Study - Hey ladies, howzit? I am such a hot f*cking mess. I have so much I need to talk about here. First off, I am dizzy. I have been dizzy for a week. I've seen an urgent care doc, an ENT, an Audiologist, and a Chiropractor. Though no diagnosis has been made, it appears as though…
  • https://mylifeasacasestudy.wordpress.com/2016/10/17/18-months/ 18 Months | My Life As A Case Study - Well this is a bit overdue because BG will be 19 months tomorrow, but I wanted to post 18 months because it feels like a milestone... This past month has been... difficult. BG experienced an explosion of growth both physically and mentally. At her 18 month check-up, she measured greater than the 99% for height…
  • https://mylifeasacasestudy.wordpress.com/2016/09/30/i-caught-him-smoking/ I Caught Him Smoking | My Life As A Case Study - I put BG to bed and walked outside to find Mr. MLACS...SMOKING A CIGARETTE. This is basically the worst thing he can possibly do, as a morbidly obese cardio myopathy patient *with* veinous insufficiency. I had flashbacks to the phone call telling us he needed to be admitted--Mr. MLACS broke down in the middle of…

Not hard, but quite intentionally when she is angry/frustrated with me. Then she looks at me to see my reaction. I've tried saying 'Oh no, I don't like it when you do that'. Made…

This. Is. Everything. I f*cking LOVE you Schrodinger--if you posted more my blog would probably become a stream of your reblogs <3 Oh, my darlings. It’s been a long time. It’s a…

The original "biggest loser" (the show was probably conceived based on her "flab to fab" success story that parlayed into an avalanche of endorsements). The b*tch is crazy, right? Whatever happened to her anyways? I need to google... But this post isn't even about her, I'm just ripping off her slogan…

  • jacki l - made my hair start falling out

    I bought this because it smelled so good but after using it my hair was not soft but I decided I'd use the rest as not to waste it. After a few weeks more hair than usual started coming out when I brushed it and it kept getting worse, I threw the rest away and went to a different brand, after a month it was back to normal. Two years later I smelled the pomogranate one and thought o maybe it was a fluke and tried it again but the same thing happened again. I am currently using the rest to shave my legs, I don't mind losing that hair.

  • J. Cherry - Beware too much vitamin d can be toxic!!!

    Bought this from CB-1s website tried it for a week and it made me feel nauseous and i experienced a racy heartbeat at times. I'm not saying this is common side affects of cb-1 but with the amount of vitamin d is 4500 (1500 IU per pill @ 3xs a day) thats 500 over the daily recommend amount of 1000-4000 needed and too much vitamin d is NOT good for the body it starts to become toxic. Don't believe me look it up for yourself.
