Hi Ladies,

Well we got our post coital test done yesterday. It was not easy, DH was having some real anxiety about having to DTD at a certain time and so luckily there were openings later because he needed extra time. The test was normal.

We got back DH's SA as well yesterday. The motility is only 28% so below average so there may not be any swimmers that can get there.

I will have to have a sit down with my Dr. at the end of the month. I plan to see if I can go to a specialist since we are both apparently having issues.

talked to the doc ladies and she wants me to go back off of Clomid. A different dr in the practice prescribed it this month for me, and she thinks since it only took 13 months for me to conceive naturally the 1st time and only 4 cycles since my miscarriage, she wants me to wait until june. Arrrggghh .. a little frustrating but i am just going to go with it ...

My BBTs are all over the place this month ... not a sharp rise like normal ... went from 96.8 to 97.33 to 97.6, down to 97.45 and today 97.6. Usually after O I go to 97.9. I should be 4 DPO, expecting AF next tues depending if Clomid extends cycle.

glad to hear your test was normal etoiles! and on the sa have you looked at having him try fertilaid for men? i've heard it works wonders. ttc hope you get everything figured out with your dr. GL

Thanks cckarting! I will look into Fertilaid. It is worth a try, right?

My temperatures have also been all over the place. When it spiked it just spiked for just the one day and have been below what I assume will be the coverline since. I guess I have not O'd yet? That is very strange for me since normally I O earlier.

Continued good luck for everyone!

I have a quick questions to all who chart...when you bd at night, before going to sleep, how do you mark it on your chart..do you chart bd for that day or do you chart it for day after...

mommyofjeff12 · Mar 16th, 2012, 10:09 AM

I chart it for that day and just put it for evening/night time BD

I wanted to update all the ladies here and hopefully get some opinions as well....
I am on cycle day 15 today and I have not taken an OPK yet but anyways I started doing them on cycle day 11 which I thought was sufficient enough considering my doctor told me start taking them on cycle day 10 which was one after I finished the clomid. Anyways I had a very dark positive on cycle day 11 and then they had started to fade a little bit and then another dark positive on cycle day 13 and now they are starting to fade, I am confused, do any of you ladies have any suggestions?? I have no idea what to think but in the mean time me an DH make sure we BD every other day at least. I don't temp because my thyroid issue always had my temps low so it would be hard for me to tell that way and the other problem is, with having PCOS the OPK's will always be almost positive or positive. Can you ladies give any input?? Thanks

Good luck to all you ladies starting clomid! Clomid worked for me when DH and I were TTC our first! I finally had success on our fifth cycle. Don't lose hope. I'm super jealous. I can't wait to start clomid again.

Hoping you all get your BFPs soon!
