Round Two! More Questions! Help ASAP!
I posted in my own thread (http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...ease-help.html) but got no responses so figured maybe it was too old & no one can see it so I'm starting a new one. I hope this one gets responses soon because it's time sensitive.
I know it's been awhile but I'm just popping in to get some more advice. We tried for 3 cycles and nothing happened so I went to get everything looked at on my and he got a semen analysis. Turns out I've got lots of healthy eggs and my tubes are open, so nothing is wrong with me. His count is high, his motility is high, his ph is 7.6 but his morphology is 4% (which the doc said is normal). So I'm not sure why nothing has happened yet but I'm getting worried. I don't want to be that couple that has to try for a year before it takes. :nails:
We're trying again, round 2! So now he want to know if there's anything on his end he can do to help. I saw that some pages suggested taking cranberry supplements or baby aspirin (which is better), abstaining from coffee, low salt and the doc suggested taking 1c walnuts daily to improve morphology. What do you think? Anything you would add?
How about his "personal time" habits? Is it ok for him to masturbate the week of, the morning of (if we do it at night)? How often can he if we're trying that week? I ask because I'm pretty sure he does it daily on a usual basis, and I didn't know if there would be enough sperm left for when we try. When he had the sperm analysis they told him to abstain for at least 3 days to produce sperm, is that how long he needs to wait?
Oh by the way I've tried to keep up eating salmon twice a week, and two full-fat yogurts a day but money has been tight since hubby lost his job for a bit. So I am eating more like 1 every day or two, and salmon every once in awhile (maybe on a few times a month). He got a job again so I will be going back to salmon twice a week, and yogurt once a day (it's too expensive for 2x day). Hopefully that's enough. Oh plus I have been taking the multivitamin gummy 3x day, fiber gummy 2x, and folic acid 3x day consistently (for the most part, sometimes I forget a day or two).
Should I still only try once per month, or should we be doing it more? Is there a specific time in my cycle we should? If only once I'm thinking we should be trying Sept 1st, Oct 3rd, Nov 4th (since my Glow app says it's the day with the highest percentage of success). Or if I'm able to afford the ovulation tests we should try on the solid smiley day each month right?
One last thing, what position is best and how long should I wait before I get up and go pee/shower? I tried the one I think you call the "jump and dump" where you're on top and jump off and go pee in the toilet immediately after he cums, but I'm pretty sure they all leaked out on the run to the toilet because it didn't take and just made a mess lol. And is there truth to the "don't orgasm" rule of pink sway? My husband wants to know that one because he "can't enjoy it" knowing that I'm not enjoying myself too.
Again if anyone could get back to me on this soon that would be great. :pray:
Thanks
