    Smile Wheatgrass juice WORKS again!!

    Well I am in my 4th FULL IVF cycle. 6-7 yrs older then with my first cycle and I had the MOST eggs r/t yesterday than I have ever had!!! I had 19!!

    Out of the 19, 16 fertilized and 15 are still growing today!!! At this same time in my last cycle I only had 6 still growing!!

    This time I didn't workout! Did nothing . I started taking Wheatgrass shots everyother day. I also have been taking Veg and Fruit pills. It is called Juice Plus!! It is a pill of dehydrated vegies and fruits. You can look it up. I don't know what did it but I have 15 still growing. Even when I was 26 I didn't have this many I think I had 11 at this point. I wasn't even able to do a 5 day t/f the last 2 times.

    I just wanted to let you know that i think the Wheatgrass and vitamins helped!! ..... now all I need is a BFP!!

    kathrynlee~ WOW~ Congrats on such a successful ER! Did you take wheatgrass for your other successful cycles? Did you take it during your pregnancies? I have been taking it every other day as well but I am doing a DE-IVF. I feel pretty good--my beta is on 6/17. Hoping for my 1st bfp!
    Good luck and continued success with your ET! Hope you get your bfp

    That's awesome! Wish it worked that well at 50 - I guess one can only expect miracles to a point.

    Congratulations!!!!

    kathrynlee- at what point in your cycle did you start doing the Wheatgrass shots and where did you get yours?

    Congrats on your great ER too.

    I get mine at Whole Foods. It comes in powder form. I just add a tablespoon to water and drink. You can also mix it in a smoothie. Here's the one I use http://www.amazinggrass.com/organic-...ss-powder.html

    I found them at our Natural Food Store. It is not a name brand store but it is all we have. They are the only ones around me that do it. I have been doing them since I started stims. I go in everyother day. I asked them just on a whim and they said OF COURSE!! They knew just what I was looking for. I just do 1 oz b/c it is so gross. I have found that if you put honey on your tongue first then do the shot and then put more honey on it doesn't taste so bad . The honey coats your tongue and makes it so you don't taste it.

    I do think that the Juice Plus helped too!! My DH and I have been doing it for 3 months and we have SMF. It is in easy to take pills. We take two a day.

    Does anyone know if the Super Foods products at GNC would work? I stopped by to check them out today and both the Super Foods Supreme and Maximum Greens powders have wheat grass listed as a primary ingredient. You get 30 days supply. Here's a link to their products: http://www.gnc.com/shop/index.jsp?ca...926&cp=2167112
