Well, I came home from work last night, feeling VERY encouraged & energized. Went for a 2 mile walk, came back & took a bubble bath, then went to GNC & bought his vitamins (they were on sale for $13 off!). Came home, & DH was setting up our HD to watch Star Wars (I’m on movie #4 – it’s my first time to watch them!!) and I walked in, and he immediately notices the GNC bag and asks what it is. I told him that a lot of friends recommended it for TTC and how it improves quality of sperm & overall drive & that when I went into GNC I was talking with the guy that worked there, he of course asked what I was shopping for & why, so I told him and he said he’d heard the same thing about those vitamins. I told the guy that my DH was taking a Men’s One a Day multivitamin and he told me that Men’s one a days do not even absorb or breakdown in the stomach! OMG! What a waste! When I told DH this he said that he’s heard of that before too & was thinking of switching anyways, so he was more than pumped to try these new vitamins. We opened it up & he was freaked out by the # of vitamins you take daily, EIGHT, but he said he’d do whatever it took, and was excited about the “energy” part too of the vitamin b/c he’s always so tired after work.
Ha… and he also walked around the entire night, flexing his muscles and saying, “Urrrrrr, I’m the HULK baby!!” 
So we’re excited.

LOL that is awesome! I am so excited for you that he is so open to trying the vitamins. My dh on the other hand is being stubborn, he has been taking 1dbx-overdrive and has been coming home and crashing on the couch. He is done with them today and I suggested him taking the GNC vitamins (like we talked about the prior night) and now he is talking about wanting to wait and look into different things to take, blah blah blah. Honestly he was tired and I was in a bad mood (thanks for that AF) so it probably wasn't a good time to talk. Will try again this weekend!

 How cute is that?!?! My DH felt really cool after he started taking them, too! Yay!  I'm SO happy you already got those vitamins and got him started on them! And seriously awesome they were on sale, too! Even better! We were also shocked when we opened the package to see how many there are...and some of them are SOOOOO huge! I was worried at first that my DH might choke on them! LOL
This is going to be your cycle, Michelle! I can just feel it!!!
Best of luck this cycle!!!

How did you make it this far into life without seeing Star Wars? Well, better late than never 
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dh's little swimmers are about to be super powered! I've heard so many great things about those vitamins and I bet they'll be your secret weapon (that and pineapple  )
And your DH is so funny, I love his sense of humor. You got a good one

I will tell him. He sees me on this website every night when we're sitting on the couch, so he'll appreciate it.
The vitamins are called Performance & Vitality, and you can get them at GNC. Jillian, Katie & now Lindsey have ALL had amazing results from them, and they're PREGO, so I will follow these ladies advice!

I know it Lucy!!! I guess I was too busy playing with Barbies & outside playing to ever watch them. DH grew up with 3 brothers, watching these movies all the time, so it's a real treasure to him. I went to Target last night and bought him Star Wars candy for V-Day.

I bet he'll soften up this week. He wants this just as much as you! And it'll improve his energy too!!!

YEAH!!! I took that Fertile CM Enhancer and it really does work! I didn't even get it until I think CD 8 bc I ordered it online. It still increased my CM, though and doesn't take too long to get into your system. And I also didn't take it the entire cycle like it suggested. Just until I confirmed an O!
My main focus this cycle was "increase my CM and try to make his swimmers stronger..." and that's all I really focused on. I even drank a lot of lemon water (suggested by lucy) and that is good, too!

Wooohooo!!!! You know DH and I swear by those vitamins!!! They are awesome. DH said he could honestly tell a difference in his energy level after just a few days of taking them. But, yes, the pack is full of pills and a couple of them are HUGE!!! But, whatever it takes, right????
Kristy, they are a GNC vitamin pack called GNC Performace and Vitality. It's in the men's vitamin section in a black box!

Good luck!! This is the first I have heard about them....I wonder how the resultscompare to fertilaid, count boost and motility boost?? That is what my dh has been taking for almost 2 months now. I don't know if there has been any change....I want to have it retested, but he isn't in any hurry to aim at a cup again, lol, I don't blame him though, it has to be awkward, lol

Yes, I am on a lemon water & green tea diet this month. I mean, that's what I normally drink anyways... so it's not really a change for me!
So awesome, I'm going to get the FertileCM. Is there a difference btwn FertileCM & FertileCM Enhancer?
And by the way, YOU'RE PREGNANT!!! OMGoodness - STILL SO EXCITING!

oh yeah!! I forgot about the green tea, too! That REALLY helped me in the CM dept. I mean, I used to NEVER get EWCM. And I really think that was part of the reason it took so long to get pregnant. So I kept trying new things.
This is the one I bought:
I know it's so hard to believe I am pregnant. It hasn't really sunk in yet! And I feel super nervous! And pray everyday that it sticks. I feel way more confident today, though. I think I will feel much better after I miss my period.... So Sunday I should feel way better. I am super excited! Thank you so much for being excited for me! I am WAY excited for you to get yours! I will be stalking you!

Hehe, that's adorable!!!
Thanks for the info about the One a Day. That's what my hubs has been taking. He's training for a big race so maybe I need to get him something better.

Lindsey - Well I haven't ever really had a problem in the CM department. I've been taking Robitussin for a while and I think I'm quitting that this month, & I'm going to try the FertileCM. Girl, you should see my cart on Amazon.com right now. Nina sent me a link to some ICs on Amazon, and I'm getting those - no freaking FRERs here anymore! And I'm getting some more preseed... SO EXCITED!
Thanks Katie! How are you feeling? Are you still having MS really bad?
Nikki - I would definitely make the switch then if you're not seeing results!!

Thanks for asking about me, Michelle! I'm doing pretty good. I've gone from having M/S all day long to it just getting really bad at night. But, I have Zofran, so I can usually take that to take the edge off and fall asleep. I have my first appt on Tuesday, so any prayers would be appreciated! We know it's in God's hands, but we are praying VERY hard that this is a healthy baby and we get to see the hb!

Prayers coming your way!!! I'm sure you have a healthy baby! Hope you get to hear the heartbeat!!!! And I'm so glad you're starting to get some type of relief, even if it is only 1/2 the day now! Hope it continues to get better for you!

Wooo that's so exciting! Did you buy the GNC vitamins in a regular drug store or did you need to go to the GNC store? I think I am going to have DH start them next cycle- he is also always so tired at the end of the day so I think it will help him in lots of ways  . Hope he's not intimidated by the amount of pills 
You've made me excited to try some new products next cycle  Here's hoping the November DDC has enough room for us all!

I believe you have to buy them at GNC only, which is where I bought his (or maybe you can find them online). I really thought my DH would be overwhelmed by the amount too, but when I explained it, and then told him about how I didn't think his crappy multivitamin was even working, he agreed with me & wanted to try them. He's always tired, and he knows that, so he's excited about the extra "energy" as well. Especially the "Staminol pill"

DH started GNC Performance & Vitality last night
