Help Me With Metformin!

If you're getting AF then the odds are pretty high that you're ovulating.

Are you starting BD every 2-4 days or so, BEFORE you expect O?? That is something you could possibly tweak if you aren't doing this already. Start BD every 2-4 after AF ends, and keep rolling with it even after you think you've Oed. This way you're covered in case you ovulate sooner or later than you expect to. Also, if your hubby can do it while still leaving enough gas in the tank for the pos OPK attempts, you may want to step this up to every other day for a couple days coming into your pos OPK and also after the pos opk. Just don't have him go so much that he can't perform when it counts though. I just want to be sure you're covered in case you're really Oing CD 14 or something like that, or O is delayed again and doesn't come till CD 21 or whatever.

I, I just looked at our charts, and we may usually hit o-3, and then o-1, and o for example. Or, o-1 and then o-4 or o-5 depending on our travel schedules. So Af ended yesterday. I will try to have us start BD'ing tomorrow. I think every four days could work for us. One midwife said she thinks I'm ovulating but it's weak, and hence maybe egg quality. The RE said I may be getting false positives and never ovulating, but I do have a true 28 day cycle. The luetal phase is anywhwre from 8-11 days.

Oh and as a follow up, should I not take the pregnitude then if it seems I am ovulating regularly?

[atomic sagebrush]

No, it will help you anyway.

I really think we need more BD. Start sooner than you think you need to and go after you think you need to stop. That way if you're missing the egg you can still kinda "luck" your way into it.

Getting positive OPK and AF to me indicate that the odds are all but 100% you're ovulating. I think we just need to get that egg quality up (Pregnitude may help with that) and then get our sex in at the right time.

Thanks Atomic! I went to cvs today, and I saw pregnitude for $40, and pre mama (it's fairly new) for $12. It had the exact same ingredients, and amounts listed so I got that. I had it with some spearmint tea today on cd 6. Thanks for all your help! Here's hoping I get my blue (or any bundle) soon!!

[atomic sagebrush]

If it has the same stuff, great!

how long have you been doing the spearmint?

[honeybee]

I always drink a glass or two. I love spearmint/peppermint/green tea. I should clarify, I bought tazo spearmint green tea, and have been drinking a glass or two all this cycle. Today is cd 7. Last cycle it would've been earl grey and lemon ginger. I remember I ran out of tea on my brother's birthday, and bought the Tazo Zen because I wanted green tea. And I've heard spearmint is good for PCOS. The only other thing I'm taking is coq10 when I can remember it, and vitamin D prescription supplements.

I've been trying to eat more healthy fats (avocado/ olive oil) and drink more water. In January, I had a bag of oranges to eat, and noticed it was the one month I had a 14 day luetal phase! I wonder was it all the vitamin C?

Once a day, or more than that?

The reason I ask is we have had a correlation (unexplained) with pink swayers drinking mint tea and having trouble conceiving for no apparent reason. We have also had some experiences with green tea messing up some people's cycles as well.

Hey, if oranges seem to help, enjoy! I ate tons of them when I got my boys.

SOrry, just saw this! No more than once a day, and then sometimes not at all. For instance, its been super hot, so I haven't had any tea at all this week!
