[My Fabulous Children]

Ladies, How much folic acid are you taking? I'm taking 4 800 mcg folate tablets per day. That's what I used to take before the m/c. Plus now, I take a prenatal which has 800mcg of folic acid so that =5.

BTW- how much b12 I should take? Right now I'm taking one 250mcg a day.

[TTC5]

I take half a 125mg b12 and 5000mcg folic acid

[TTC5]

I have had one m/c and I feel so scared to try again (Very Worried) it's an awful thing to go through and I will never forget how low I felt after my m/c.

Luck to all you lovely ladies out there. I hope none of you go through this

Lola, My thoughts are with you I am really sad for you it's not fair- two in a row

. I am the same and no doubt will be again x

[TTC5]

I realize what I did now. Darn being rushed. You are right and my confusion was that i was just reading how to raise the PH of Pre-Seed and got confused in the rush of getting eggs together. That was a great PH EW and I ended up using a PH EW of 8.93 and I'm pretty stressed I just swayed pink.

I dont think you would the ew would have been enough to sway blue despite adding bs and besides no diff to say doing a douche with ewcm

How do I get the egg white into the hoo haa. I sure hope enough made it in after pouring it out of a glass bowl.

LOL!
I used sterile plastic syringe ( you can get them in every pharmacy), IMHO 2-3 ml should be enough, otherwise it can be REALLY messy...lolol!

Hey Guys! I am jumping back in- it has been a busy week for me!

So, I am on Day 10 of my cycle, still - opk's and very watery cm.

Did using Robitussin make your ewcm too watery- and not stretchy? For some reason I am afraid that it will only be watery- because it is working.


And also- how do you time the BD with having some abstinence days? I am finding this difficult since this is my first cycle after breastfeeding so I predict I will probably ovulate sooner like I did before I was pregnant with DD. I was ovulated cd17 while breastfeeding.

Sperm's heads exploding??? That doesn't sound good. Wow, I sure hope that's not the case but might be good info going forward. I didn't use the EW mixed w/ BS since it lowered the PH, I used another EW. I went off the info from "another" forums TTC Boy E-Book and there was no mention of that and no warnings. Plus, I've seen people's sway attempts that have used EW's and BS Finger or Douche and that would be mixing them, right? Thanks for checking on this for me.

I know! That is what I distincly remember Tamara telling me on IG, and I wondered the same thing.....if you are doing a bsf and then using ew, isn't that doing the same thing? To be honest, I did the bsf and ew for the first 4 months of ttc, and bfns. The 5th month I didn't do bsf, and still bfn with ew. When I dropped the ew, I got pg 2 months in a row. I'll ask Atomic in the ew forum.

And also- how do you time the BD with having some abstinence days? .

Hey Spicy....YES my cm is not ew-ish at all when I take mucinex, but I did take it both months I got pg, so I will do it again. And with the abstinence timing, it is a HUGE PAIN IN THE A$$ to time it, unless you are one of those lucky ladies who ovulates on the same day each month like clockwork. I freaked, and I mean freaked!!!! about it for about 5 months of ttc with no good results. I'd be so stressed just trying to get it to a perfect 4 day abstinence that I was literally driving myself crazy. Some months, I would O a day late, and it would be 5 days, and I'd freak and wonder if I should have dtd earlier, but then just dtd when I was ovulating and had to try to not worry about my DH's sperm count! I think trying to time this and worrying about it is one of the top most stressful things when swaying.

So, this is what we do now: we just do it 48 hours apart, and don't worry about it. I got pg twice so far this way. I honestly don't worry about it swaying girl so much because I believe that diet and hormone levels and other stuff sways way more than timing. I mean, I would not do it twice a day, I think that would definitely lower counts. But, I will tell you, I have scoured fertility friend charts and we have had lots of discussions about this in the past 9 months online about it....most women on FF dtd several days in a row, all on O day, and some with dtd O-2 (2 days before O), then again on O day, so 48 hours apart. If you can manage to time it so that you have a 2-4 day abstinence, you have done an excellent job. But, if your O is so erratic, just take lots of opks and look for a fade-in pattern so you can see when you are getting close.

MFC, I think that is a perfect amount of both. I take about the same.
