[CLOSED]***Lucky LTTTC Testers***

[Renaendel]

Seriously! We are ready to get our BFPs on, no joke!

Damn straight.

 

[Platinumvague]

Lillytame,you're next to test.If I were you I'd be testing already

 

[LillyTame]

Don't remind me! Maybe Kuawen will test 1st and give us a big one! I wonder how bdb is doing Everyone get's so quiet during the weekend....I'll have to go stalking if she doesn't update us soon

I'm trying my haaaaaaardest not to test before Thursday..I'm 7dpo today and I said as of today I'll start letting myself at least symptom spot

How are you feeling, Platinum? Any MS?

 

[Platinumvague]

I have a ton too, I just don't want to keep seeing those negs. My goal is next thursday...at the earliest Monday. I think it will depend on if I get any signs that implantation may have occurred Sat or Sun when I'll be 6 and 7 dpo. I'm trying to play it cool and relaxed this cycle So far so good! I just keep talking to my eggie step by step...we should be at an 8 cell morula by today

Just wanted to add that I have never implanted earlier than 9 dpo but I always start testing at 7

 

[LillyTame]

Hee hee see that's why I was trying to at least get myself to a reasonable time when implanting is likely to occur. Last year, most of the time I think I started peeing on sticks around 5dpo! I was a true addict I think our NTNP break helped calm me down, or maybe it was just seeing BFNs for a whole year

This morning I took my temp, just to see what it was and just the action of doing that made me sad...it just reminded me of that year I temped and got all negatives, so I can't see myself temping again

I think temping is a pain in the butt and just another thing to worry about.Have you thought about trying soy iso if this isnt your cycle?

 

[LillyTame]

No, because I don't want to change my cycles in anyway. They've actually regulated over the last year and a half...they used to be 40 some days with me O'ing in the 20's, now they are 30 days with me O'ing on CD16

We've done lots of tests already....our issue seems to be low sperm count and motility. I temped just to make sure I was O'ing and to see when it was happening. Now that I have that down, I don't any more. I was just curious how high my temp was this morning because I've been pretty hot lately, but it was a usual 98.48....well usual for my tww. I think I learned a lot about timing through temping and would recommend it to a newbie, but it is a pain in the butt and once you know you ovulate and you know when you ovulate, you don't need it. It was really hard for me too because I wake up more during the night during my tww

On another website im on I have seen women taking clomid to help their so out.Some how it has been helping them get pregnant even though their SO has low sperm count/ or motility.

 

[LillyTame]

I did one cycle of clomid, I was so scared of getting twins! My doc tried to assure me that the chances were low though. I don't know, it's just doesn't feel right to take something when there is nothing pointing to me needing it.

I've heard that the OH could take clomid too, to help with their swimmers. I don't really have a plan for next cycle...just timing. We're moving to the mainland in 2015, we'll have better access to FS's, right now there isn't one on my island. So we'll continue looking for assistance when we move...we are thinking IUI with clomid. My doc said you are only allowed to use clomid for so long, so I don't wanna waste those doses

 

[Platinumvague]

I never used clomid so I don't know the rules.I'm very impatient when it comes to baby making.Wishing you lots of luck!

 

[LillyTame]

I think I'll be more impatient when we get to the mainland and I can actually see a FS, I was way more impatient when we 1st started Right now it just feels like "what more can we do?" We did so much testing that 1st year.

Anyway, thank you! Stay hopeful that I won't have to wait till next year to get preggo!

How are you feeling? Any MS? Have you told your kids yet?

If you are out this cycle maybe try preseed and soft cups.Couldn't hurt.I like to use them.I just put some preseed in the softcup and insert it for a few hours after dtd.Maybe it could help your mans sperm.

As for me,no ms but I didn't have any with either of my girls.The aren't old enough to understand.My oldest just turned 2 last month and my youngest is 7 months.My husbands family didn't seem excited but they are so full of themselves anyways its not much of a surprise.

 

[LillyTame]

Yes! Thanks for reminding me...I need to buy more softcups. I did use just a dab of preseed, OH doesn't like it, says it makes it too slippery and not natural

Awww, you have little, little ones! I didn't even notice the birthdates

 

[Renaendel]

I wonder if you could use conceive plus instead of Preseed and if DH would even know. Preseed goo is super slick. Conceive plus isn't, it just feels like more of my natural cm. (Note I am not advocating you don't tell him, just that conceive plus feels more like us versus Lube). I buy it on amazon.

We dont use it as actual lube.I put it in the softcup then insert it after dtd so in my head it helps some how lol

 

[LillyTame]

thanks, renae, I will try that one then.

I thought about putting it in the softcup but then I worry the temperature difference will kill some of the sperm, thats why I put it in me directly and not as a lube either, but so once the sperm gets in there its like ewcm so they can swim around and not die lmao this is kinda funny to be talking about I worry that I dont have enough ewcm in there for them to get around even though I make some during BDing. I think I might give the conceive plus a try...I have my shopping list for the next cycle then! lol what else can we think of, ladies? I'm gonna get OH some horny goat weed...he did well on that last year, no problems getting to the finish line on demand

 

[Renaendel]

Cool, I have never heard of that weed. Man I haven't even ovulated and I am ready for this month to be over. I bought some "mother to be" tea at the store two days ago that has red raspberry leaf, mint and a few other things. My husband stole it and has decided it is his new favorite herbal tea.

 

[bdb84]

I wonder how bdb is doing Everyone get's so quiet during the weekend....I'll have to go stalking if she doesn't update us soon

Nothing exciting to report. AF is due tomorrow, but I got a BFN this morning. I know that I'm not out completely, but I still have zero hope. Truthfully, I'm just ready for AF to get here so I can begin next cycle.

Thanks for wondering, though. Sometimes I feel lost on this forum since it's so large. It's nice to know that ladies remember you.

Cute! Maybe it will help if he drinks it

Of course, darling! We forget no one around here! We know how it is to get down to that last day and just know AF is coming Although we'll hold out hope till the very second AF gets here, do you have a plan for the next cycle? Anything different?

Fertility blend increased my ewcm a lot while ttc. Kinda pricey but def helped think the kind for men helped dh too. Might look into it too Lil
