for Tryin'. Such sad news. 
"Come on! A nice healthy egg, please. You can do it - I know you can" That kind of thing!
If there's a possible baby to be made, I'm going to try darn hard to make it! 
I just meant I'm determined to try everything to see if I can tweak my chances and get things right to conceive and I'm not going to give in without a fight)
they still want to run a couple of tests and that's putting us to start treatment in March. I initially was bummed and wanted it sooner, but you know what, that way it gives my body another cycle to try for a miracle on its own. My DF has been taking his vitamins for over 3 months now so I hope it has done something to his sperm.
Delphine, that's the spirit! I feel the same way, I'm willing to try try try. I think it will be good to know where you stand with your hormones, you'll see. If they want to do CD21 I think it's so they can test your progesterone. I never had mine done but I hope having my temps up consistently after o is a sign its all working well. I think I'm 4dpo but this month it's been hard to temp, I just got home from a business trip and waking up at odd hours. I'm trying not to think about it.
Well, I sat down with my RE and we are going to go ahead with IVF, that is if I don't get BFP before
Let's keep our fingers crossed. I'm thinking of you too
Your ovulation chart is beautiful Don't worry about the temping. When I first started I never missed a single day, but now I don't stress about it (unless it's around mid-cycle) because, hey, we're not perfect and sometimes we deserve a break. As you say, it gives you that little extra time. Also, I'm thinking about Spring and Easter and new life Plus your DF's vitamins will have had that extra chance to do their job. Every little thing helps. Even a tiny improvement is a positive thing.
Yes, I think that medication could mess up your cycle temporarily. Also, just being ill can do that. Cycles are sensitive things. I remember stuff like exams messing them up, and holidays, and stress and tummy bugs - everything. It could easily be a cumulative effect of being ill and having to take medication.
. My stress about my temping was only because right around O is when I was waking up at odd hours and going out of town. So I had to makeup a temp after O so my chart could detect it. No big deal as I was sure I Oed from the opk. 
Hello Ladies,
I wanted to say hi. I am currently trying to conceive at age 48. I conceived our son at 45 delivered at 46, normal healthy little guy no complications. DH and I had been trying for 7 years. My labs were always normal but for the world of physicians I was too close to 40. DH SAs were always bad no one ever once said we need to look closer at this. Dh began having groin pain and bilateral varicoceles were found 7 months after the repair we conceived naturally. He also had did a short round of clomid to boost his numbers. Luckily still my numbers are good but I have PCOS/insulin resistance. I recently started using inositol to help with this and notice by symptoms that my testerone has come down. While doing research on inositol I noticed some REs have women use it to improve egg quality. I saw that even CCRM recommends it. I was wondering if any of you ladies had any experience with it?
