TTC after 35

NTTCR: We did it!

DH and I worked out last night. We did an on-demand video (we have comcast) that was very hard for him but easier for me. So I did one more brisk-paced video. 20 minutes for him and 30 for me. I'm excited! I HATE HATE HATE to exercise, so finding these videos really helped keep my attention and kept me going. I'm hoping to increase my time every evening. And then increase the intensity as I get better at it.

You guys, this is huge for me. All my life, I have never exercised and liked it. I'm so motivated right now! Just a few more pounds and I am going for my IUI...it's so close!

Anyone else need some exercise motivation?? Let's help each other!

    Great job! It just gets easier from here.

  • Keep at it... you're just getting ready to (hopefully) chase around a toddler!

  • That's awesome!! You can do this. Once you start it will get easier and once you see the tiniest change you will want to continue!!

    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

    That's awesome!  Good for you and your DH!  Those Comcast on-demand videos can be so helpful when you don't feel like/aren't able to get out of the house to work out.  Keep up the great work!
