I'm going to buy a new thermometer this arvo. See if that makes a difference.

I'm going to buy a new thermometer this arvo. See if that makes a difference.
I also found changing seasons my temp changed too... especially coming in to winter.
Thanks everyone for welcoming me 'back to the game' :P Not sure I'm officially back yet though. I bled for one day and then have only had spotting for the last two days. Don't think that really counts. I'm just really hoping that I don't need a d&c. My appointment is tomorrow morning so I'll know more then. Cinss, I think I would have eventually gotten an infection and then needed to have a d&c or something anyway.
Lola, exactly.. whatever helps to get things going, I'm up for it. Preferably with as little intervention as possible but beggars can't be choosers, right?! I only take 50mg of Clomid. I initially started on 25mg which did nothing. I wonder what is up with your cycles? You could have low progesterone with all the spotting?
Atomic, while you're popping in here, and hopefully you see this... I took primolut on two different occasions and waited 2 weeks both times with no sign of AF. Even though I had the blood in my uterus why would the lining not shed due to the sudden drop in progesterone? I know my lining was quite thick because I had ultrasounds. I didn't think to ask my doctor at the time.
Bec, did you call your doc and tell them your AF stopped? I can't figure out what is going on with either of us, but of course, I'm no doctor! I think I may have low estrogen AND progesterone, to be honest. I don't think I'm ovulating this month because of it. I may need to get back on Clomid also, but what's the damn point if my DH can't get me pg?????? ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
I'm with both you guys...I'm not ovulating this month!! I got new batteries for my thermometer and still low temps! :tissue: I'm an infertile old prune with no eggs left!!! I will never get a baby at this rate!!! Cinss is the only normal one left here...at least she ovulates!
LOL, PoP, I am with you! I gotta figure something out.....I ate a bunch of edamame (soybeans) at lunch today. Like that will help. Sheesh. What about the soy isoflavones?? Aren't those supposed to be like natural clomid?
I ordered some yesterday!! :rofl: Next cycle...when AF works out it has to come...I will go back on the B6, soy isoflavones (CD3-7), Royal Jelly and EPO.
Hey ladies! I just wanted to check in on all of you and to update you on myself. I had my gender u/s today and the tech said boy. I'm 18w4d. I wanted to show you my pic since I am not totally convinced. I hope you all don't mind. Here it is:

@Alexis, he looks ALL BOY to me hon.
Thanks for replying :)
Idk if it's just me but this look like baby's head looking down towards his legs. I thought that "penis" might be the umbilical cord? I could be totally reading it wrong, I have no idea. The tech said if she was in Vegas she'd bet all her money on it lol.
I guess it's just hard to believe for me.
Congrats Alexis!! Did you post your sway? I looked at your chart, and it looks like you DTD the night before O--is that right? Sorry to be nosy, but I O'ed early and that is what I think I ended up doing too, so if that got you a boy, it gives me hope!
I agree with you, I also saw baby's head looking down, but I think that appendage is a penis, I could be wrong though!Quote:

I didn't really "sway." After my m/c in August I threw all of that out the window. Then in January we found out DH had a low sperm count of 14.7 million. I doped him up with 2,000mg L-Arg, 200mg CoQ10, 1,000mg Tribulus, folic acid, and B12 and 2 weeks later I get pregnant. I guess it worked! I still took my prenatals, b6, and 1,800mg folic acid. I guess it was a "sort of" sway.
My chart is kinda iffy. Baby is measuring ahead by 2 days so it's possible I O'ed on CD 13 which gave me one time of dtd. But if I did O on CD 15, we got O-2 and O-1. Either way it worked!
Alexis, congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats Alexis, definatly a boy there :)
Congratulations Alexis :)
Are you going to ask your dr for Clomid?Quote:

I am feeling ok, pretty bored in this 2ww, i had some cramping on 6 and 7dpo and i was extreemly moody yesterday. FF is telling me to wait until the 1st of June to test.Quote:

Can't believe we are almost in to June! May has not been that great a month for those TTC, so June has got to be a better one!!!!!
Lola, my doc actually asked me to come in again today just to check if everything was ok before I started Clomid again. If I could get my hands on soy isoflavones I would have tried that before Clomid. It's worth a shot, can't hurt right? POP, where did you get yours from?
Alexis, congrats on your baby boy!
So, I am right to start again, finally! U/S showed no more blood and lining was back to normal. Back on Clomid starting tonight :) So excited to be just trying again. Of course, now I worry that with all this wacky stuff going on the Clomid won't make me O. We'll see anyway. One of my best friends just told me she is 4 weeks pregnant after her second IVF round so I am so excited for her and hope that we can be pregnant together soon.
May has been shite! June better be better!Quote:

Can't do any worse than this months failure to ovulate! lol
Are you going to continue taking temps and dtd pop?
I'm gonna keep taking temps but haven't dtd in 2 days, DH needed a break. I have sooooo much EWCM today it's not funny, but my cervix is super low and my opk is stark white negative??? I am so confused!!!
HEY!!! I saw a post from you in an older thread just yesterday and was wondering how you were getting along.....and this is AWESOME news! That is a boy, no doubt about it, Alexis....congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

You DH's count may fluctuate, too.....my DH had less than 2m last September and 19m about a month ago, although he had been taking Countboost. His morphology went down the toilet though, and that is our main problem now. Only 1% of his sperm are normal. BUT- the point of all of this is that it is possible to get a boy without an off the charts sperm count, see? Your flip of the coin ended up blue just because odds are 50/50, which is fabulous!!!!! I'm so happy for you, Alexis!Quote:

Lola, I don't know where you live but if you are in the USA you can get it at Walmart for like $5. It's easy to find anywhere luckily! :)Quote:

That's good news that you have some! I would say just keep taking those opks, but don't let DH go more than 3 days without releasing....if you've taken a 2 day break, maybe do it tonight and then maybe your opk will go + tomorrow, and you can skip tomorrow and go again the next day (or day after) and hopefully that will be O day! Or, you could just go with the SMEP thing and dtd tonight and then keep doing every other day and then dtd every day for 3 days once it turns +.Quote:

Thanks! I haven't looked, but I've got a couple weeks, so will run by there!Quote:

I started to have a few twinges in the old oves down there, so I think I may just be Oing super late this month. We're SMEPing this month, so dtd every other day. I hope it turns + today and then we can dtd tomorrow. I got so freakin' happy reading Alexis' post about her getting a boy from a low count! You have inspired me, girl!
Alexis - Conrats hun! After girls boy is always hard to believe but yes that is a boy! I didn't fully believe till I saw the gear with my own eyes lol
Lola - Love stories of dg with low count, makes me even more confident that you'll get your healthy baby soon :kiss:
POP - I stopped temping because is brought me so much anguish, I went solely on cp and opk's to get my guy :)
I'll catch up more later, little man calls...
Thanks, 3P1B!!!! He is mad cute! I was about to say my little man calls too, but it's just my short boss, LOL. Not nearly as fun!
POSITIVE OPK FINALLY.....just later this month. Stress is not my friend lately....I think it definitely lowered my estrogen this month, hence the late ovulation and super dry vag, ugh. Going to try to be more chill now. FX you get your soon too POP!
