Hi ladies. Just checking in. DW and I are on pins and needles. She is in a fair enough amount of pain that we had to call the Dr to find out what to do. They are getting her lab results from her draw this morning and are supposed to be calling us back to tell us if we need to take her to the hospital. I know I am the downer on this thread and I apologize I just need some reassurance.

Leah, if she's in pain, I say best to go to the hospital. At least they can give her painkillers and make her more comfortable. Sending prayers your way.

Welcome Yorkie! Good luck to everyone in the TWW.

I had my annual visit with my OBGYN today. She is lovely, knows all about what I'm doing and I had an opportunity to ask her about my donor's Semen Analysis he had done (she says it looks great) and about using the soy, etc etc. She said that everything I'm doing sounds fine and that I shouldn't be discouraged that I'm 4 cycles down with no BFP yet. She said that even healthy couples with perfect timing can take up to 9 months to get their bfp. Anyway, she says she has no concerns about me and to just carry on and she hopes to see me back soon pregnant.

It was encouraging.

[Mummylou23]

u think so hun ? i am so worried i was in very good mood till then i am so hoping that can do tomorrow and friday and saturday hopefully sunday

 

[Nimyra]

Mummylou, I think you are definitely fine! I was just reading that your most fertile days are 1-2 days prior to ovulation (because sperm needs to "mature" in your tubes in order to be able to penetrate the egg) and the 2 days before ovulation are equally good. So, you doing every other day is just fine!

 

[Mummylou23]

ok wel did cd 3 cd 7 cd 10 so far and doing tomorrow so thats every two days and then isnt it 3days in a row when first pos opk?

 

[Layla]

stop worring hun, you have a great chance with all the donations you are having.
one donation around ovulation is enough, so you have great odds

try to relax a little so your body isn't tense for the important day

[Yorkielassy]

Sounds like you have got a very good donor. I only managed 2 insems one on lh surge and the day after. Try and relax abit I know it's hard!

 

[Mummylou23]

[Mummylou23]
