Considering at-home insemination with donor sperm...?

[Nimyra]

woo hoo!!! Smiley @ 10:30pm.

Donor is willing to do a noon donation on his lunch break, thank God!

I think I ovulate quite soon after surge, so hopefully that will be soon enough.

Please excuse the excessive use of exclamation points and the mushiness of this post......


So last Wednesday was DW's 35th birthday and this weekend, we had a celebration at the house. Except, I was knocked of of my feet when DW gave me a lovely ring, a proper proposal, and informed me that everyone there was aware that this was happening. Turns out, it wasn't her birthday party after all....it was an engagement party!!!!!!! I am so very hopeful that our rainbow baby is getting snuggled in right now so I can say that we were all together for the most perfect day of my life!!!!!!

Halfway. 7dpo today. This is the first cycle since our loss that I have been hopeful. I don't know how to explain it really but I guess I am just finally READY. I feel like I am ready to involve my heart again. I hope that is a forecast for even more good things to come!

Leah-Yay! That's so cool!

Nimyra-Yay for smilies!

AFM-I had an apt with my gyno today about my low progesterone. She looked at my charts and said it looks like I'm either Oing but not a strong O or maybe some months not actually Oing. She gave me 2 options; 1. See how it pans out or 2. Take clomid. So, I told her I would like to continue with the healthy eating/losing weight and taking supplements to see if it fixes the problem. If that doesn't work after a few months then I would consider clomid. She was optimistic about that option. She also said it was ok if I wanted to get my progesterone tested each month to see if it changes. So, that's the route we are going right now.

Jury. Have you been tested for endometriosis or pcos? I have both and the endometriosis can cause you to not o every month according to my gp?

 

[Nimyra]

Jury, have you considered trying soy isoflavones to boost your ovulation? I did when I was ttc last year and it helped me to ovulate stronger.

I haven't, but I don't think I have either. I don't have the pain usually associated with endometriosis and I have regular periods. How did you find out you had them? PCOS can cause you not to ovulate too.

Jury, have you considered trying soy isoflavones to boost your ovulation? I did when I was ttc last year and it helped me to ovulate stronger.

I haven't considered that yet. I might consider it though. I was also thinking of using progesterone cream.

 

[astito]

Jury, did she said you have less stronger ovulations according to your charts or low progesterone?

 

[Ttcrainbow]

Jury I had an internal scan for diagnosis of pcos. They looked at my ovaries. For the endo they found it by accident when I was 16 during a laparoscopy to remove my appendix

The one month I used vitamin b6 I got bfp but it could have been coincidence but really helped me.

 

[jury3]

She said after looking at my charts that some months I may be Oing and some months I may not be. If I am Oing, then it may not be a strong one. I'm not worried about it being endometriosis or PCOS at this point. I started B6 this month along with royal jelly and maca root. I also ordered some fertility tea.
