I have been ordered not to leave my sofa and to drink at least 180oz of gatorade (a task not so easily accomplished) for the rest of the day and all of tomorrow. She assured me that she has seen people turn this around completely, but that I shouldn't get my hopes up too high. In short, don't be disappointed.
So there you have it. Tomorrow we go in and see what will happen. Today I will act like a sloth and drink, drink, drink, drink.
I plan on being part of the group that "turns it around" so she better be ready to put one of those babies in me. It's game time.

In women, smoking has a negative impact on almost all aspects of fertility. This includes its effects on ovulation, the transportation of the egg from the ovary down through the fallopian tubes, the process of fertilization and even initial embryo development. When pregnancy occurs in a woman who smokes, the future fertility of the fetus as well as its' general health and well-being, whether male or female, is also put at risk. Women who had mothers who smoked while they had conceived and were carrying them, tend to have menopause earlier and therefore, their reproductive lifespan is significantly shortened.
It is now advocated that smoking should be phased out as an integral part of human infertility treatment. It is also advised by doctors around the world that smoking should be giving up well in advance (1 – 2 years) of planning a child.
Alcohol
Alcohol will affect both you and your partner. In fact, drinking any alcohol at all can reduce your fertility by half - and the more you drink, the less likely you are to conceive. One study showed that women who drank less than 5 units of alcohol a week (equal to five glasses of wine) were twice as likely to get pregnant within six-months compared with those who drank more.
