Pinklady, Y sperm don't swim faster and X sperm don't live longer. That is a myth. Could you possibly post your chart? I'm a visual person. You can't keep testing after you get the solid smiley, as it resets. It's just a waste of test sticks. I recommend getting some cheap Wondfo strips bc you can test with those as much as you like.
Pbn3 and tfahn, I also immensely regret not having children younger when I thought I needed more money. Thank you for sharing your stories!
tfahn, I think 100mg Clomid is worth a shot though I definitely think Femara would be better at your age.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1
- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

Princess and ksmom, I'm sorry you have to delay TTC, that sucks!
Pbn3, your FSH IS quite high and AMH low (though I've seen much lower conceive naturally). Clomid is worth trying but Femara would be MUCH better. I still think you'll get lucky, eventually. Hopefully sooner with med help.
lildudesez, what a miracle! I'm so happy for you. I love seeing people beat the odds.
I'm spotting and having more full on AF cramps. It was just light-brown tinted CM this am, then just now more light red. But still no flow. I'm out of ibuprofen AND stronger pain meds, I'm terrified! I wish it weren't such a hassle to get ibuprofen here. My temp did go up but I temped later than usual, and obviously I won't test in light of the spotting. I'm 13dpo.

Pbn what is your FSH number? I looked at your results but it looked like 7 to me which is not bad. As I said, mine was 13 and I still conceived naturally several times. I also had multiple follicles with 150mg clomid but other medications work well too. I just went with the cheapest. I did the trigger and IUI because they wanted all of my follicles to ovulate for the best chance at getting one. With my bfp cycle, I had two follicles.

Quinn fsh was 28. The 7 was from a cd21 test last year.
Thanks everyone for your input. I'll just wait until I see ob and go from there. Xxforhubby I sure hope I get my miracle and totally get what mean.

Joining in! I got a strong positive on a Wondfo ovulation test the morning of the 11th, and we BD late that night. Hoping it wasn't too late but hubby couldn't get home any sooner. Last attempt was 5 days previous so for sure only one attempt in the fertile window. Fingers crossed for our little rainbow baby.

So sorry pbn that your results weren't what you had hoped for. Sounds promising though that you will be able to get some help & conceive.
Fx for you maiden that the spotting doesn't lead to AF.
Good luck Imd, hope you get your rainbow baby.
I've decided to only use preseed this time if not much cm. I have found that sometimes the day of o my cm won't be as much so if I need to use a bit then I will. I seem to have ewcm leading up to +opk then it goes watery near o.

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
