TTC Girl- April 2012

[dramabird]

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!!!

So I am thinking this and next cycle will be it for me as far as the Clomid since it stays in your body for what 6 weeks or so? I am wanting suggestions on what I should do this cycle considering I am Oing with the Clomid but still not getting pregnant? 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!!!

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?
For me this will be my last pregnancy...sniff im 38 ...so i really only have the diet going for me,after ditching everything and adding some,but i just wanted to get pregnant so took the chance

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

The only thing I hate about Preseed it that it is supposed to sway boy and my CM does not seem to be dried up due to the Clomid, but maybe it would help. We used it before, but did not fall pregnant, so maybe I might get some this month.

As far as missing O day, I am not even sure FF is right about the day. We DTD at 1am on cd 15, so we missed O day by an hour. That day was just so busy and we could not fit it in until way late that night. I plan to DTD each day as soon as O gets close till day after O. Unless I hear that we should not do it this way.

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.

And being on clomid they dont even reccomend you temp as it gives you false temps,Take me for example i o always using FF temping on cd16 like clockwork,and when i used only opk this time and ditched temps i oed on cd18 2 day later,if i would have done ff i would have for sure stopped dtd and missed it.
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?

If Clomid makes CM hostile and that is the reason it sways girl, why would I want to add Preseed to make it more hospitable to both girl and boy sperm? 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?
