Ambivalent, The only test I had was the Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) that checked to see if my tubes were open, I had one back around 2000 and then another in 2010, both times my results were fine. In my case I knew I was ovulating, I got my period every month and it was fairly regular, but my boobs stopped hurting around AF so it led me to believe my progesterone was low. Around July last year I started tracking my temps to ensure I was ovulating, I got more serious as time passed and started researching natural fertility supplements. I started taking them in September, I wanted stronger ovulation and to ensure I was indeed ovulating so I took Vitex herbal supplements and got pregnant with my 1st in December but miscarried a couple weeks later, I believe it was due to low progesterone, I didn't have insurance due to a new job so couldn't get access to test nor to a prescription. I continued to take supplements this time changing from Vitex to Soy and got pregnant again in March, I asked my OB/Gyn for Progesterone supplements and she conceded after much insistance on my part. I unfortunately miscarried a couple of days later, this was a chemical though, the egg implanted late around 17dpo, for this cycle I took the soy from cd3-8. I didn't take anything for the following cycle, I was depressed but for April 19th's cycle I changed the dates, I took Soy from cd5-9 and got pregnant in May
I took progesterone from 3dpo to 16 weeks per doc's orders.
I wish you the best of luck, TTC to is rollercoaster of emotions, ups & downs but it is so worth it in the end
NTAT, I second Monro's comment about Fertilaid or Fertility Blend for men, it has been shown to increase sperm count, if youo can't find it, get L-Argenine, it is great for increasing count
I would also suggest you take Mucinex to thin your cervical mucus take it beginning one week prior to OV, and also use PreSeed lube if able to. I did get some decent pics, my lil one is not shy at all!! LOL he had his legs spread wide open for us several times
Monro, it is normal to feel anger or resentment towards other pg women. It's great though that you are acknowledging these feelings and working on them. Don't feel bad for telling us how you feel, remember we've all been there
As for the test, I'm srory I can't see anything, I hope you can see a clear line tomorrow morning, that'd be wonderful!!
BeachChica, thanks I did get some pics, he was moving so much though LOL the tech barely had enough time to freeze the image and save them. This is one active
I actually have 4 pics of his weewee
Thurl, chart looks great! Sorry about your in laws.
:wave: hi to anyone I may have missed
AFM, I did the Quad screen Aug 28 at my doc appt, and I got the results yesterday. It all came back normal, no indication of any abormality, thank God. I am now endulging and enjoying my pregnancy
I am so in love with my little boy and he's not even here yet
