TTC Girl - February 2012

Does anyone know how many follies are average without fertility meds?

I think it's about 15-20 start to mature, then you normally only get 2-3 dominant ones... and usually only one of those will "win" and be ovulated

Hope N Dreams, so excited you'll be O'ing soon!!! whooo hooo, hopefully for a pink beanie!!!

Sweetsister-I found the opks really hard to detect when I was o'ing on clomid. I think next cycle I am going to dtd a hell of a lot more just to be sure. The only problem is that with the whole no arousal thing and no lube on clomid how is anyone getting the job done on clomid?? I was dry as a bone, (i'm just sayin).

Rainbow~ wow thats a lot. Thanks for the info! I had four follies! The u/s tech was in a big rush, she told me nothing I had to ask questions!

Auroara~ Thanks for being excited for me!!

Amari~ I have NO CM, and def feel dry. Been putting a tiny tiny bit of sylk on DH right before. Hopefully doesn't interfere with a BFP.

Hey Girls, Thanks alot for you well wishes!! I did another test about 6 am was 9 hrs after the first one and it hasnt changed its no darker but thats ok with me because they say every couple of days the hcg doubles or something?? My d/h is away he wont be back until sat night and last night I had NO sleep i was thinking maybe i shouldnt get too excited yet could be nothing... but a faint pink line on 3 tests must be something right?

So happy for you Pink! I cannot wait to read your girl sway. Remind me what all you did or did not do? Were you on Clomid?

Hi Kraizy I feel a bit bad posting about MY bfp to all you girls that have been trying so hard for so long! I only really started last month and when i got that bfn i was so shattered and that was only one month of trying! I so hope you girls get preg next month!!! I will have everything crossed for you! Please pray for me that this is my real bfp!! even tho its faint its still a bfp right??

Anyway My sway was simple not much to it, so it will either help me or go against me but TBH i cant change things now so i will be happy with whatever the gender is as i only have 1 ds and he needs a bro or a sis!

My d/h didnt take anything but cut out red meat and coffee for 2 months.

Me: I took Vitex I cut out the saw palmetto in feb because i ran out and didnt think i was even going to attempt in feb. I was eating heaps of those equal tablets.. My ph was about a 4.

My diet went a bit out the window this month.. dec and jan I was so stickt and got real sick so i stopped after i got the bfn at the end of jan.. still no red meat tho for me and no breakfast. did eat potato tho.

I used Rephresh 24 hrs before we dtd i only used a finger of it tho. Used a bit of sylk on d/h as Got him to the point of no return then we dtd..

Only dtd once... I got a smile on my opk at 8 am tho i didnt get to do a opk day before so could of been a smile the night before.. I get VERY VERY bad o pain and so does my sister happens the same way every month..And i got that pain at 8pm the day i got the smile in the morning.. We didnt get to dtd until 7 am next morning and trust me it didnt happen easily! Took d/h forever and i didnt think it was going to happen so i think his T level was pretty low.. That was his 3r release in 24 hrs.. He released every day for 10 days before that too.
I think that is it I cant think of anything else atm

Pink be proud of your BFP and don't worry about us long timers...I have 4 boys and feel selfish for trying to add another to the bunch so if we get pregnant I really think it will be a miracle.

Thanks for sharing your info. How old are you and DH? Was he releasing for 10 days morning and night?

Equal tablets? what are those?

[pinkin2011]

I am 28 and d/h is 29.. And no he only released once a day for the 10 days.. there is no way he could release twice a day for 10 days he prob wouldnt even be able to do that for 2 days in a row

"Equal" tablets are those fake sugar that you put in tea and coffee you get them at the supermarket, they have aspartame in them so help lower your ph.. i used to et about 50 a day!! they taste horrible i would just swallow them down with a glass of water

[dannikins]

woohoo pinkin!!!!!

thats fantastic, what kind of tests did you use?
to have all of them with faint lines HAS to be something good..
