Oh wow, those are definitly positive!

I had lines that dark a few days ago. Did you manage to BD??

My DH didn't like knowing about my fertile times because he felt I was planning things too much. Lately though he's been asking about fertile times and my cycles (I think he's concerned about my crazy cycles). I've been giving him just basic info as I don't want to overwhelm him with all the stuff us ladies stress about! LOL

Yay! I thought they were too, and this afternoon's OPK was neg -- the second line was def. light. We did get to BD; I put in the preseed ahead of time (not the full amount 'cause it would have been too slippery), and I used the non-DM robitussin, put my feet on the wall with a pillow under the hips and everything. Had my e-reader too haha. Tonight and tomorrow will be the same.

My DH used to get anxious when I would try to share details of my fertility, but since the end of last year, he has really gotten involved. Now he says stuff like, "Guess what day it is? It's baby-making day!" It cracks me up! So you're doing the right thing by giving your DH a chance to get on board with your fertility in his own time

Good luck ladies!

I am soooo glad someone else does that!! lol After we BD I tell DH to go grab my ipad! LOL

I've heard a little preseed goes a long way! lol I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet though!

Is it very messy?? Did you notice any difference?

your DH is too funny! My DH is definatly coming around, so I am happy to give him all the time he needs

Plus I had a Doctor's appointment today to try and figure out my cycles, so maybe that is kinda pushing him too? Like maybe there is something wrong and he wants to be more involved? Either way I'm happy lol

How are you doing?

I'm impatient!!!! Had my last day of Clomid yesterday....waiting now until the 22nd where we go in for an u/s to see how the follicles are maturing. I really hope we can do the IUI this cycle. Last cycle the follicles never matured....this time my doc increased clomis to 150mg.

How about you?

My DH even knows to get more pillows for me to lie on! Yup, got the drill by now lol
That's awesome you use something electronic to help you pass the time -- it helps alot!

As for the preseed, it isn't messy at all. It's very smooth, very much like eggwhite, and as long as you don't put in too much (level 3 or more) it's great! DH and I like it. Tonight, I put the preseed in after BD just to chance things up and also because someone in a "preseed" thread mentioned doing it that way and she is expecting now.

You know honestly, I did notice that dtd with preseed was more sensitive, like it amplified the sensations down there if you know what I mean. Maybe I was in the moment 'cause it's a new product for us, but either way it felt great. I ordered mine from makeababy.ca (based in Barrie, ON) and it came fairly quickly once they got my order. Then again I live in the same province...lol

Good luck fitmommy for the ultrasound! I've read in other threads that people get a lot of side effects from the clomid. Have you had any unpleasant/uncomfortable ones since taking it?

fitmommy · Apr 17th, 2012, 05:05 AM

RCAFwife, the side effects that I have experienced with Clomid have been some cramping, gas, and two days after my last dose I get really dry....which isn't pleasant at all. I also get mood swings but that can be a result of stress and other stuff. Good luck....Im on my phone so ill write more later.

Ohh hope the Clomid works this cycle! *fingers crossed* Keep us updated!

I'm still wating on AF and will probably have another 60 day cycle.

My new Doc is sending me for lab work so I'm hoping he'll be able to give me answers as to why my cycles are so erratic. I was so worried he would just tell me I'm crazy, but he seems helpful so far!
