TTC a BOY May Chit Chat Thread

[Butterfly Spirit]

I'm gonna keep taking temps but haven't dtd in 2 days, DH needed a break. I have sooooo much EWCM today it's not funny, but my cervix is super low and my opk is stark white negative??? I am so confused!!!

That is SO Weird!

I didn't really "sway." After my m/c in August I threw all of that out the window. Then in January we found out DH had a low sperm count of 14.7 million. I doped him up with 2,000mg L-Arg, 200mg CoQ10, 1,000mg Tribulus, folic acid, and B12 and 2 weeks later I get pregnant. I guess it worked! I still took my prenatals, b6, and 1,800mg folic acid. I guess it was a "sort of" sway.

My chart is kinda iffy. Baby is measuring ahead by 2 days so it's possible I O'ed on CD 13 which gave me one time of dtd. But if I did O on CD 15, we got O-2 and O-1. Either way it worked!

Know what, I bet those supps didn't have any effect on the sperm that got you this little boy. Our urologist said it definitely takes 72 days roughly to really make a difference with sperm since that is how long it takes to "grow" them. You DH's count may fluctuate, too.....my DH had less than 2m last September and 19m about a month ago, although he had been taking Countboost. His morphology went down the toilet though, and that is our main problem now. Only 1% of his sperm are normal. BUT- the point of all of this is that it is possible to get a boy without an off the charts sperm count, see? Your flip of the coin ended up blue just because odds are 50/50, which is fabulous!!!!! I'm so happy for you, Alexis!

Maybe you did O on CD23 and your temps are just screwing with you

Lola, my doc actually asked me to come in again today just to check if everything was ok before I started Clomid again. If I could get my hands on soy isoflavones I would have tried that before Clomid. It's worth a shot, can't hurt right? POP, where did you get yours from?

Alexis, congrats on your baby boy!

So, I am right to start again, finally! U/S showed no more blood and lining was back to normal. Back on Clomid starting tonight So excited to be just trying again. Of course, now I worry that with all this wacky stuff going on the Clomid won't make me O. We'll see anyway. One of my best friends just told me she is 4 weeks pregnant after her second IVF round so I am so excited for her and hope that we can be pregnant together soon.

Oh, YAY for your friend, and YAY for your lining looking good, too, Bec! Hey, chug that Clomid back with a big smile and hope for the best, right?

I am going to maybe try the soy this next month also.....I bet I can wrangle some up from the local vitamin/herb store.

Lola, I don't know where you live but if you are in the USA you can get it at Walmart for like $5. It's easy to find anywhere luckily!

OOOOO, you may be gearing up for ovulation! Lots of women get ewcm actually BEFORE they ovulate (holds that sperm in there for a while) so you have a better chance of getting pg....nature's way of helping procreation, ya know? That's good news that you have some! I would say just keep taking those opks, but don't let DH go more than 3 days without releasing....if you've taken a 2 day break, maybe do it tonight and then maybe your opk will go + tomorrow, and you can skip tomorrow and go again the next day (or day after) and hopefully that will be O day! Or, you could just go with the SMEP thing and dtd tonight and then keep doing every other day and then dtd every day for 3 days once it turns +.

AHHHHH, you or Bec or Cinss HAVE to get preggers this month, someone has to keep the good news rolling!

Thanks! I haven't looked, but I've got a couple weeks, so will run by there!

So, late yesterday, my opk looked like it was starting to turn...it was like 1/2 as dark as the control line, which is a step up from stark white earlier in the day, right? I started to have a few twinges in the old oves down there, so I think I may just be Oing super late this month. We're SMEPing this month, so dtd every other day. I hope it turns + today and then we can dtd tomorrow. I got so freakin' happy reading Alexis' post about her getting a boy from a low count! You have inspired me, girl!

[3Pink1Blue]

Alexis - Conrats hun! After girls boy is always hard to believe but yes that is a boy! I didn't fully believe till I saw the gear with my own eyes lol

Lola - Love stories of dg with low count, makes me even more confident that you'll get your healthy baby soon

POP - I stopped temping because is brought me so much anguish, I went solely on cp and opk's to get my guy


I'll catch up more later, little man calls...

[LolaInLove]

Thanks, 3P1B!!!! He is mad cute! I was about to say my little man calls too, but it's just my short boss, LOL. Not nearly as fun!

POSITIVE OPK FINALLY.....just later this month. Stress is not my friend lately....I think it definitely lowered my estrogen this month, hence the late ovulation and super dry vag, ugh. Going to try to be more chill now. FX you get your soon too POP!
