Ladies, How much folic acid are you taking? I'm taking 4 800 mcg folate tablets per day. That's what I used to take before the m/c. Plus now, I take a prenatal which has 800mcg of folic acid so that =5.
BTW- how much b12 I should take? Right now I'm taking one 250mcg a day.
I take half a 125mg b12 and 5000mcg folic acid
. I am the same and no doubt will be again xQuote:

Hey Guys! I am jumping back in- it has been a busy week for me!
So, I am on Day 10 of my cycle, still - opk's and very watery cm.
Did using Robitussin make your ewcm too watery- and not stretchy? For some reason I am afraid that it will only be watery- because it is working.
And also- how do you time the BD with having some abstinence days? I am finding this difficult since this is my first cycle after breastfeeding so I predict I will probably ovulate sooner like I did before I was pregnant with DD. I was ovulated cd17 while breastfeeding.
i didnt get y u r worried :o or may b im confused, isnt it we do BSF the day of O and then again b4 DTD and insert EW , do that Baking soda not decrease ph of EW ??? so i think what u did everyone does , i think im confused :DQuote:

To be honest, I did the bsf and ew for the first 4 months of ttc, and bfns. The 5th month I didn't do bsf, and still bfn with ew. When I dropped the ew, I got pg 2 months in a row. I'll ask Atomic in the ew forum.Quote:

I freaked, and I mean freaked!!!! about it for about 5 months of ttc with no good results. I'd be so stressed just trying to get it to a perfect 4 day abstinence that I was literally driving myself crazy. Some months, I would O a day late, and it would be 5 days, and I'd freak and wonder if I should have dtd earlier, but then just dtd when I was ovulating and had to try to not worry about my DH's sperm count! I think trying to time this and worrying about it is one of the top most stressful things when swaying.Quote:

I honestly don't worry about it swaying girl so much because I believe that diet and hormone levels and other stuff sways way more than timing. I mean, I would not do it twice a day, I think that would definitely lower counts. But, I will tell you, I have scoured fertility friend charts and we have had lots of discussions about this in the past 9 months online about it....most women on FF dtd several days in a row, all on O day, and some with dtd O-2 (2 days before O), then again on O day, so 48 hours apart. If you can manage to time it so that you have a 2-4 day abstinence, you have done an excellent job. But, if your O is so erratic, just take lots of opks and look for a fade-in pattern so you can see when you are getting close.
MFC, I think that is a perfect amount of both. I take about the same.Quote:
