TTC boy Feb 2012 chit chat thread

Gosh I am so impatient...but I don't want it to happen too soon either or I may miss the eggie. Wonder how close a full positive is?? Tonight, tomorrow?? DH gets home some time tomorrow, not sure if they will let him come home straight away or if he will have to go back to the office until 4pm. I am pretty sure we will go for it when he gets home and again 24hrs later, maybe even 24 after that to be sure lol. Hope thats a good enough attempt.

OMG...I guess if being obsessive and controlling sways boy...I am obviously doing something right!! LOL

PoP - Not far off a full positive, i think a good thing to do is look at the last test you did (by itself) then ask your self "is this the same or darker than the control line" because when you place it next to the others, visually it looks +. Haha i keep picturing your hubby walking in the front door and getting jumped on hahaha.

It is just so hard to get out of the hpt mentality where a line is positive ya know! I have honestly never seen an opk of mine get darker than that??? Surely I haven't missed it every time? How long do they stay positive for everyone else?

Mine are usually + for 2 days, i have seen 3 days, but for me this cycle it was 1 day.

Cinss - I think you ovulated on CD23 too but I'm not a great chart expert!

Princess of Pink - My positives always look like your last one, they never really go quite as dark as the test line but near enough!

Well after my confusing weekend but temp went up again today and fertility friend is saying I ovulated on CD17 which would be great as thats the day we DTD, we did DTD sunday to cover all bases - so that makes me 3dpo!

His motility was 75% and morphology was 71% so those numbers were normal. I started him on 200mg CoQ10, 2000mg L-Arginine, and 1000mg of Tribulus along with his normal supps. I know it takes around 3 months for these things to work. And the urologist suggested we "save up" DH's swimmers before I actually O. So, we had a 5 day abstinence this cycle. Woke up this morning at 9 dpo

I agree! Mine will usually get a stage darker than the control line.

OH my, CONGRATS, Alexis! That is good news!!!! I am so intrigued by how you saved up sperm and that worked well! I may try that next month. Everything you read about low count says to dtd every other day so they don't get old in there. I am so happy for you! HUGE FX that this one sticks!!!!!! How did your DH take that news about his count? It is hard for them, for sure. SO glad the supps worked and things are just fine.
