Lola, Im so sorry hun :sad:
((((((hugs))))) for you Lola. Hope you're getting a ton of them IRL. Hope to see you back soon but can understand why you might keep your distance after these past few months. I am so, so sorry for your experience.
3PNB and MFC, Happy Anniversary! Ours is 4/26 :-) I should O around the 24th so was thinking it would be fun, but I really don't want to be pg right now. Best to wait.
Have to run; DD2 isn't well and is requiring almost constant holding right now...
I agree with Flava TTC5! My DH doesn't like taking supplements so after he's done eating I give him some supplements otherwise he won't take it.Quote:

Ladies, I have question about L-arginine. How much should I take? The bottle says to take 2 pills, 3 times per day. I think that's too much. and it's 500mg :think:
L Arg dosage for swaying as I remember was 1 tab of 500 mg per day. Thats what DH was talking and I took initially before switching to fertile cm
:agree:Quote:

My DH is not a supp taker in general. If I don't lay them out for him and give them to him with dinner, it wouldn't happen. And he isn't swaying; but luckily he takes several of the rec. supps for men for other reasons! :wink:
Hope the infection clears up quickly!!Quote:

TTC5- I hate man flu, such big babies lol
Begonia - Glad it's only a bladder infection, couple days she'll be good a new :)
I'm so sorry Lola ((hugs))Quote:

TTC5 I hope DH bucks up soon and takes his supps! I usually try and focus most on diet with my DH because I control that (hehe, I do all the cooking and he comes home for lunch)... but he's reluctant to take lots of supps, too.
3PNB - Hopefully if you decide to sway DH will be up for it. My DH seems to think that any kind of BD is a medicine dose haha. I would feel comfortable possibly trying a sway with DH sick but not DW (for TTC blue). My DH was just getting over a bad cold/tummy bug thing when we successfully swayed for our 2yo... I think I didn't get sick by sheer willpower. Didn't want to mess up my sway timing that month, hah!
hope your dh is better soon!Quote:

I would take 2 and give DH 3 /day on the TTC month and before that just 1. If the bottle says 6/day then 2 is not much I think.Quote:

mms that is so exciting!
ttc5 - I think that's a great ph, but I know that on IG they recommend DH ph be 9+ - so maybe keep up what you are doing to try and bump it up a little more.
I am 35 weeks pg now and can't believe we're going to have another kiddo really soon. Still worried about GD but I'm starting to feel a little excited. Looking forward to going through stored baby clothes over the next couple off weeks even if they are pink, hehehe.
Thanks Skrimpy x
TTC5 - I think it's great, like skrimpy said stay the course and see if it goes up.
Mmsgirlie22 - woohoo!! Just be careful, I got pg a few days after I got my paraguard out, my midwife joked I got knocked up in the car on the way home lol
Flava - I hate bsf, turns ewcm watery which makes dtd a bit dry which leaves me a bit sore afterwards.
Well folks I'm officially in the 2ww!! Dh was feeling much better last night and insisted we dtd. I told him we could skip but he didn't want to let that nice egg go to waste lol. It is so great having him so on board, he's really excited about having another baby I even caught him oogling a baby in a store the other day. I'm not to hopeful about this month. I've got myself geared up that this will take several more months based on my midwife appt which takes a lot of the pressure off wanting that bfp before my edd. Anyway fx for all of us in the 2ww!
Fx jen!!!!!! So just thinking ahead IF dh ph stays around 8 would this be safe enough to dtd?
Absolutely!
Hi ladies I'm getting so discouraged- it's CD21 and there's no hint of ovulation! No faint second line on Opk, low fertility on CBFM. Ugh! My cycles are long but I'm afraid the MC may have messed up my body (even tho I had a 38 day cycle with O on CD24 right after my MC. Anyways yay I get to see siggies after this post :P
I'm sure things will even out again soon enough, stay tough momma :)
Hi All,
Thanks everyone for your replies about the L-arginine.
Hope everyone is doing well :cheer:
So exciting and good luck to you!!! :luck:Quote:

Hi, I am so sorry. I have a long cycle too and it's so hard to ttc with long one. Usually my cycles are 35 days, but the supplements really missed with my cycle big time so I dropped the ones that play with it.Quote:

Which supplements did you find to mess with your cycle? I tried to steer clear of the ones listed as lengthening cycle on IG but I did add EPO about 2 weeks ago to try to increase CM. I researched it and it seems to only lengthen LP so I thought it would be ok. I just wish my OPKs had a faint second line or SOMETHING! The only other thing I can think of may be the diet is messing up my cycle?!Quote:

I think TT mess with my cycle and also L-Arginine I dropped both, but I decided to take low dose of L-Arginine again. I don't mind ovulating late, really that's what I want this time.
I remember when I was swaying for DS in 08' I took FertileCM and O'ed a week late because of FertileCM contains L-Arginine.
