♥ June 2011 ~ Swaying for Blue? This is the thread for you!! ♥

[My Fabulous Children]

YESSS!!!!!! I know you are going to poas in the morning, so will be praying very hard to the whole universe to have this be your month, Jen!

Babydes, I definitely have to be positive now. I've had a crappy month really, and now with my ex's wife pg, it is just about all I can do now. Would you take the DHEA if you were me? I did just google "is FSH level high right after m/c?" and it appears that your FSH level can fluctuate all the time and stress is a big factor also, so I am not sure if I should jump to a conclusion that it is all bad right away. But.....I want to start the DHEA now if we ttc in August and turns out I do need it.....what would you do? And how are you feeling????

FSH level high right after m/c I will google that for more info.

FSH (FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE) is 16.2 is that OK? What I've read online, it sounds bad
LH (LUTEINIZING HORMONE) 6.8
Thyroid a little .21 over standard range

Some of the blood panel tests a little below normal range but I didn't see any red flags from the on-line results. Will have to wait to hear from Dr. to be sure.

I don't know anything about these numbers, but let's hear what your doc has to say. Hope everything is okay. KUP.

Tink, not to freak you out, but both kinds of cigs are not good at all for sperm. I have done lots of research on that in hopes of getting my DH to cut regular ones out for good (he quit the special ones a long time ago). My opinion is this: if you can convince him to quit it all, it's much better for your sway and much better for him also! But, I know, easier said than done. When you are at my point in ttc and have said to DH, "Either you quit this or I am done ttc because I'm not playing games anymore," then just keep at him in a positive, non-nagging way.

This doesn't freak me out at all, and I really appreciate this. I think I will talk to him tonight and tell him he really needs to try to cut back. I understand its not something he just give up cold turkey. But if he really wants to make a valiant effort to "sway" for a boy he needs to hold up his end of the bargain. And this would be really important. I am not going to argue, like you said. I will just flat out say if he doesn't want to stop then we wont TTC. I also think I will print up some smoking and fertility info for him.

Tink - I would have him focus on sups that will raise his count and repair damage 150 mcg b-12, 800 mcg folic acid, 1000mg fish oil. I would push him to quit asap, high pH doesn't mean lots of healthy swimmers. So against the odds your pot-head friend has 2 boys and sometimes crackheads have healthy babies, just because some folks rock the stats does it really make it worth the risk? Not to be a buzz kill but he needs to do his part to to insure a healthy fetus too.

I love the comparison so crack babies. LOL. But you are right. YOu make a really good point.

Well, I had to tell mine, after 9 months of ttc and 2 m/c that I am not willing to ttc anymore unless we do EVERYTHING in line with good fertility, like best odds. I told him that smoking is notorious for causing poor sperm (even mutating them) so I was not willing to do this anymore unless he was willing to do everything he could at this point. I mean, IVF clinics wouldn't even take us as patients if he smoked, it is that ridiculous of a thing to do when you are having fertility issues.

I didn't mean to sound like you should put your foot down from the get-go....but if your DH responds to that, then maybe you should!

FSH level high right after m/c I will google that for more info.

I am trying to look it up also....lots of my googles have yeilded forum questions about high FSH making you have miscarriages. I have not had my numbers tested, just took that fertility test that came with the hpts, but Iluv's was high, but she did just have a birth like 6 months ago. Let us know if you find anything!

It's so weird to think about all this now. It feel like such pressure. When we got pregnant with our DD I smoked, We both did. Me just cigs and him both. I never smoked the special kind, not my thing. I enjoy a cocktail! When I found out I obviously quit immediately. And then I breast fed forever and never went back. It was so easy to conceive her, It took nothing but one drunken night on our wedding anniversary! Now all this to get a boy! It's so crazy! I am really going talk with him tonight! We have good communication and he is always open to anything. We have been together for 9 years. So we shall see...Wish me luck!

I try at least 30-45 min, Can't do more then I put the IC after that I get up. Did you use the IC?

I was down for a good hour and half, did a pee then back to bed and slept

[TTC5]

Well done! Seems like a perfect attempt so GL. I'm 5dpo, no symptoms at all

Thanks!! You would not get symptoms this early anyway, would you?
when does it implant?
