Congratulations to all of you BFP-getters!!! Hopefully you have a strong trend going ... I'm on CD8 and planning to test next Monday.
Ribbons, you go, girl! I naturally have longer cycles, so I like that Vitex seems to bump O earlier ... it lets me get my next cycle going that much faster after a BFN.
Kraizy, I'm so sorry for what you're struggling with. You are in my prayers.
thanks Dramabird! I really appreciate the prayers. If it is God's will, I will finally get my BFP in May or whenever He decides. The sooner the better since my patience is not very good these days LOL!!!
right there with you!!Quote:

I am really thinking it is my DH's counts, so that being said, what can we do to help this? As far as timing and our attempts how should we do it? I just want a baby now, so any advice you all could give is much appreciated.
Blessings for a happy belly day for all those who are preggers and girly vibes to all of us still chasing our pink dreams!!! AMEN!!!
Kraizy- what is dh doing FR? abstain?
Well i suggest using preseed ,i mean i did preseed and guaffenisen as the clomid made me so hormonal and moody i wasnt going to do it again,it was my 3rd cycle so i was determined,and instead of doing every day leading up til ovulation for 7 days in a row!!!silly? we did about bding closer to pos opk i think 4 or 5 days in a row and on the pos opk dAY and one after,so your sure to hit it!I would strongly suggest preseed:) and ditch the temping and rely on the +opks.I peeked at your chart and did you miss the day of +opk for swaying or by accident?I would definately hit those days before during and after.I dont know much about helping mens count i actually was starting to think my dh had the problem because we didt for so long but turns out it was just too many swaying factors i guess?Quote:

The last few cycles we have just been trying to DTD through O. Not FR or abstaining.Quote:

Its not because your cm is dried up also,it is because clomid makes your cm that you have hostile and sperm dont survive,so guaffennesin will help the spermies up up there survive and the preseed will help along the immediate ones.Quote:

I would dtd few days before you think you will o just in case it is dh you want to not abstain or frequent release and get the best ones:),then oday and until opk gives you a negative even that day to be covered,like the 2 days after you get a +opk,and i didnt jump and dump to i lay 15mins hips propped too i just remembered.
Interesting info on OPKs and temping on Clomid. I did not know you were not supposed to temp. It drives me crazy anyways, but I like to have scientific data. I guess I am just a visual person and like to see the dips and rises. But my O has been pretty much cd14-15, so I don't know about just doing OPK's cause I do them as well. I don't have any so I will have to get some. Do you use the digital ones? I think they are so much better than the sticks. Do you use a combo of both?Quote:

I am just so terrified of getting another boy, but would be so happy as well. I think for sure my DH would never let me try again. How much do you use of the Preseed?
