The Eternal Guest Room

So we spent the last week up in sunny Seattle. Part of our trip involved checking out the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma. For some reason God doesn’t want us to have children, but thankfully these meerkats did. They’re so cute!

One thing I’m doing to defy the natural order of things and increase our odds of conceiving is taking supplements. I take two different pills three times a day.

Fertilaid for Men: It contains key vitamins and minerals as well as the amino acid L-Carnitine which helps sperm count, motility (how fast they go), and morphology (their shape).

Pycnogenol: According to the site it is a “natural plant extract from the bark of the maritime pine tree which grows exclusively along the coast of southwest France in Les Landes de Gascogne.”  It’s supposed to greatly increase morphology (my biggest problem).

Unfortunately, according to the interwebs highway, it takes about three months for the supplements to be fully effective and I’ve only been at them for a little over a month.

Tomorrow we make our first visit to the Reproductive Endocrinologist.  We’ll see what happens.
