Anyone else counting down to April 1st?

Diddy that is an awful lot. My current insurance doesn't cover fertility either, but for whatever reason they've covered everything so far. You should give the agnus castus a try many people say that it has worked for them. I purchased the FertilAid before my last appointment and it hasn't changed my cycles. My cycles were already regular so I can't speak of anything in that area. It's supposed to help your body regulate the estrogen and progesterone hormones. Besides a full multivitamin it also includes vitex agnus castus. You should give it a try while you're saving and temp your cycles to catch the difference in between cycles.


I don't think I'll be getting my BFP this month cause I started feeling a little crampy today. Oh well. Maybe next month and then in to the IUI. I really want to do it w/o medication, if I have to hopefully my doctor will say ok.


Mom it would say that it is a good idea to temp your cycles for a few months. After the 4th month of me temping my doctor told me that I could stop and doesn't even bother looking at the charts anymore. I still do it just to confirm ovulation and I guess it's sort of addicting lol

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Your right tempin is so addictive and exciting hehe
Fx mzhwd

Yay cd20 & finally a very strong positive opk!
i googled & it said ur Lp should stay the same so will just mean af is expected 12/13 days after tmrw for me. We shall see if that proves right.
Anyway decided i'l temp for a few months just need to order thermometer now again before af arrives or hopefully it wont fx. Anyway going to bd next 3 days have been dtd eod up until now.

 

[Mom2sam]

Are the babymad thermometers any good?

Are the babymad thermometers any good?

They are but I had no luck with them type they kept breakin on me lol that's why I ended up buyin the other lol

 

[Mom2sam]

Which one did you get? And what's battery life like, reviews on babymad alot of women say problems with battery life

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

It's the one I showed u a while back, although it was out of stock back then but just looked its in stock now and a little better than mine because u can measure in celcius or farenheight where as mine is just celcius. It comes with a great case and the battery is on the back rather than like the others where u have to pull it out n risk breaking the wires.

I defo reccommend it above all the cheap ones I bought even thou took around 7days to arrive as it comes from china, well worth the wait.

 

[mzhwd]

Yeah Mom your LP should remain the same. Idk the brand of my bbt thermometer. I just picked one from the drug store. Glad you got your positive opk. FX'd for you. I don't have any symptoms that I can say are apart from regular AF symptoms lol. Idk why they have to be the same symptoms lol. That is just crazy.

Thanks & yep symptoms are so similar hiw many dpo are you? I dunno if ovulating so late will gimme a chance this cycle will have to just see but if opk was positive today means i wont ovulate till tmrw cd21 cant help but think might be too late

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Mine are irregular so I hope it helps and I have a prescription for provera to lock start the next cycle if need be.

 

[Diddy2013]

Order fertilaid for the next six or so months while saving for ivf. That's my plan for now, will probably do some fertility testing in between.

 

[mzhwd]

Today I'm 11dpo and my boobs are SUPER SORE. I usually don't have AF symptoms, but sore boobs wouldn't be uncommon. All I can do now is wait. AF is due Sunday.....so at least that's not far away.

I don't know anything about provera, but I hope it works for you Diddy. I read that some people say that they could feel the FertilAid work immediately. So hopefully it works that way for you too.

 

[MolGold]

Hey ladies,

Mzhwd: Hope AF stays away!

Diddy: Hope your appointment goes well!

Mummy - Aw, hope its just an odd bleed - don't worry too much!

I went to see my doc on cd10, the only day she could fit me in, then goes onto say I cant get an HSG because I didn't see her sooner! So its back to follicle monitoring this cycle. Will get an HSG next cycle if no BFP. Though she prescribed hubby some meds for increasing sperm function.

Sorry to hear that MolGold, but hopefully you won't need the shot. If you don't mind me asking, what med did she give you for DH.

I am not sure, 1 was Miracule which is supposed to reduce DH's Grade1 glutanization (netting syndrome) - This is basically when low grade sperms block the good sperms.
Another medicine she gave had some vitamins to increase motility ( he is at 60%). She said it might be 2-3 months before any real results.

Oh, and good luck for your BFP!! Did you test yet?

 

[Mom2sam]

Good luck mzwid have u tested yet? I will finally be in 2ww tomrw. M-smurf how long are your cycles & with ovulation at cd23 was that normal for you when do u normally ovulate. I just need reassurance this late ovulation wont affect my chances this cycle. Last cycle i had a 30 day cycle & hoping i have a longer cycle to give implantation a chance.

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Had my scan this morn but as expected its to early to see anything only thing we saw was gestational sack lol I go back in 10days n should have baby n heartbeat by then. They measured it at 5 to 5 n half weeks so it's no suprise nothing was seen.

A longer cycle won't affect it the only thing that can stop it would be a short lp. CD23 wasn't normal for me but if I'm 5 n half week then I'm doubting it as that would put me back to around CD 16 but I think il stick with 5week.

 

[MolGold]

I have a 10-11 day LP but my doctor didn't seem too concerned!

 

[mzhwd]

Mummy I'm so excited for you. ☺ sonogram are so exciting. Lol

Mom and MolGold no I haven't tested yet. I thought about testing this morning at 12dpo fmu, but decided not to. I thought about testing tomorrow, but if I've waited this long I feel like I might as well wait 2 more days. Lol.

Glad you're finally in the TWW. I know it felt like a lifetime to you Mom.

MolGold what was at 60%???? My DH SA results were no where near that in any section. Lol The response I got from wanting to try vitamins was like......if you insist sorta thing. Which did have me a tad nervous, but what the hay. Nothing hurts a try. All was normal for his SA except he was at 12.6/ML and 31% motility. I'm wondering how much the vitamins will even increase those numbers.
