27 TTC #1 looking for a buddy

[DrGomps]

It comes with applicators...its more to make your CM more hospitable. Honestly, couldn't hurt..especially if you only are working with 7% of potential spermies. Hows the quitting process going for your husband, know its got to be hard? But its for a good cause!! any more people looking at the house?

 

[lol2811]

He is doing really well, hasnt had any at all, so proud of him.

We have got another viewing on Monday.

Been trying to do some more research into what is normal morphology and there is so much conflicting advice out there. Seems to range from 15 - 30% being normal (or the WHO 2010 standard even says 4% is normal!!!)

From what I have read although low morphology def isnt great, it isnt the major problem, I think motility is, but even that is confusing.

I think a normal motility is 50%, but I'm not sure what this is made up from, if it is just the rapid progressive, or if it also includes the slow, in which case DH would be 40%.

All very confusing, think i might get some preseed though and give that a go, like you said it cant do any harm, you never know we might get lucky.

 

[Ladyzara]

Try preseed it really can't hurt! And it will help with the mobility good luck

 

[lol2811]

I have bought some now so guess we will just have to wait and see.

 

[DrGomps]

are you not temping this month? You could do preseed with softcups..make sure the little guys stay up there!!

 

[lol2811]

Nope not temping, I'm trying to take abit more of a relaxed approach.

 

[DrGomps]

Yay for relaxed. So it sounds like your husbands numbers aren't all that unusual. I really don't know much about SA. Hopefully you can get one of those lazy guys in there!! preseed will probably help!!!

 

[jeepprincess]

We had our first ultrasound on Friday measured in at 8weeks 4days on friday so I may be short a day on my ticker...but keeping it that way for a while....and had a strong little heartbeat YAY!!!!

 

[lol2811]

Thats brill jeepprincess!!

Yep fingers crossed one of them does their job and finds the egg!!! Giving preseed a go later so we'll see how that goes.

 

[DrGomps]

Yay Jeepprincess for a lovely scan, mine is in exactly a week!! woohoo!!

Charlotte, you are still using cbfm??

 

[lol2811]

Yes still using cbfm as I have lots of sticks still so thought I might aswell.

 

[DrGomps]

Yeah, might as well use them.

Can't believe I am 12 weeks today. Seems like it is going os fast, need to enjoy all these free moments before my life changes forever. I am looking forward to baby coming, but I want to make sure I am enjoying every moment of being pregnant.

So in the spirit of enjoying every free moment, went out with a gf and saw limitless(little disappointing) then ate a nice dinner. Didn't enjoy having to ride the sideway, one of the lines wasn't running and I had to stand the entire time, which doesn't feel good in a crowded car anyways, but when your dizzy and nauseous its even worse!! And I don't look pregnant enough for people to give me their seats!! BOO!!

 

[lol2811]

We saw Limitless a couple weeks ago. It was ok but not quite what I was expecting.

 

[DrGomps]

felt like it was encouraging drug use and was a bit hedonistic...no good moral. but it was entertaining.

 

[lol2811]

It def wasnt quite what I was expecting.

Last day of work today and then 11 days off yay!!!

 

[DrGomps]

what are you going to do for that 11 days, alittle jealous over here!!

 

[lol2811]

We are just going to relax I think. Nothing really planned, just spend some time together.

 

[DrGomps]

sounds so nice, does DH have time off too??

Hope you are having a nice easter. ITs my DH's birthday, but he is working on a deadline downtown, so I am going to head down there and have a nice brunch. THen a classmate is having an easter supper that I am going to partake in this evening, woohoo! My presentation on Tuesday got postponed because my boss's stepfather died, so I am not as rushed on that, thank god!! But now it gives me more time to obsess about my scan on tuesday. But I am feeling better about it generally, I hear my baby's heartbeat every day, my uterus and bump is growing and definitely have symptoms. Plus I have never had a miscarriage and neither has my mom, so there is no reason to believe that I am not growing a healthy baby in there. DH is going to come too and he hasn't been to any of my scans/appts yet.

 

[lol2811]

You and bump are going to be just fine, but I can understand the worry.

Yes dh also has time off. Having a lovely Easter. It is our first year wedding anniversary next weekend but dh has given me my present today, a lovely ring.

 

[DrGomps]

and a cat?? so cute!!!
