The pics were taken at 10DPO (just barely, or 9DPO) :) And yes! A great mother's day present!

How long has your DH been taking LR? Have you noticed a change in his output / "ability"? We managed to get all 7 consecutive FRs in, but JUST barely... he couldn't perform on O day - obviously it was enough though :) I am not sure about doing just 4 FRs instead of 7 consecutive... maybe you should ask atomic... that sounds like it would not be as good as no FR's at all, I think it might "reboot" him a bit? I am not sure :think:

Welcome butterfly!!

Kraizy, I always love your prayers, they are so sweet :) :HH:

Many welcomes Butterfly!!!

i think i didnt explain myself properly...
DH is doing 10 fr's and THEN we are going to DTD - so the fr's is just him helping himself, and dtd will be that actual babymaking :) just not sure which days to be doing the baby making??
OR do i do less fr, about 7-8 and then extra DTD?
the LR doesnt seem to change his output - just the fr.
Last couple of months he has done 10FR's followed by 5-6 DTD and he really struggled towards the end. DH felt it was pointless towards the end as it was bugger all coming out, and it didnt 'shoot' up - rather dribbled out.

baby love - its not that im in tune with my body! i wish :)
I used OPK's, and temping and charting.
My temps consistantly dip right before ovulation - then rise straight after..

Ah, got it :) 7-10 FRs are recommended before starting DTD, but I would go with more rather than less so you can make sure you get them all in... I started 9 days before I expected to O, and good thing b/c I O'd two days earlier than I expected! So - I ended up with 7 FRs, followed by 3 DTDS (tried for four, but DH couldn't perform) - he also said the same thing, that it was pointless b/c all of our DTDs were "dribble" LOL but obviously SOME of the swimmers made it :bigsmile: If you can predict when you will O, perhaps try 8 or 9 FR's instead of 10? Maybe that will give you an extra 1 or 2 days of "oomph" for DTD...

Just catching up today.
Welcome Butterfly!

Oh OK understood..I will have to take the risk of the guessing game this month to figure out when I "O" & since I have the HSG coming up I will stop vitex Monday. May has been such a positive month for others I'm hoping it'll be my sticky month as well

Sheesh, finally my weight is slowly ticking down. And spotting is over. Officially game on, I guess! *nervous*

My husband is only taking 1 licorice root a day right now because I really want to get pregnant... but will it have a benefit, even doing just 1? Or should I just have him up it?
