My hcg level came back at 522.8. Going back to see the doctor in the morning. The nurse said he will decide then if we need to check my levels again. She said my levels are perfect and exactly where they should be.
I am on right now!

Great levels!

Well looks like we may be cycle buddies again then! Hopefully for the last time... but on the bright side we should be fertile right around Christmas! Hoping for a Christmas miracle (at this point miracle feels like what I need!)

 

[mailcmm]

We all need some Christmas miracles.

 

[moter98]

Yes, Christmas miracles for all! It's just gotta happen this month. 8 cycles is enough already! I'm wondering if maybe we are dtd too much. Gonna try every other day this time.

DH asked me the same thing last night! I would love to try everyother day, but I am always afraid to miss the egg!

Me too! However, I am reading that if there is a problem with the man's motility, it could be beneficial to dtd every other day rather than everyday. It gives the sperm time to "recharge". And it's better to have quality rather than quantity. That's only if motility problem though. If he is healthy, everyday is fine. Since we can't get tested yet, I'm gonna just assume this is a possibility for us and give it a shot. To be honest, I could use the break,lol! Everyday gets to be too much.

 

[Twinkie210]

Well I went back and looked at my chart where I got pregnant and we dtd CD18, 20, and 21 and I O'd on CD21, so maybe a day off would be beneficial for him, LOL. He would love that plan!

Hey, it's worth a try.

Looking back at my last BFP, it was every other day up until the day before O and then not even on the day of O. I can't believe I'm just realizing this now! Maybe it does make a difference for us. I'm kinda excited now, maybe that's why it hasn't been happening for us!!!

 

[mailcmm]

Last 2 times we DDT once in the fertile window. Once! This time everyday may have been a bit much. I am with you guys on every other day.

We did it every other day. Healthy sperm can live a few days in the right enviroment. I always wanted the up there a couple day ahead of time just incase I Oed before/after I had planned. Not to mention doing it every day lowers the sperm count, and decreases the chance of stong swimmers making it to the egg.

Since beginning our TTC journey officially in August, we only had sex (sorry, BD and DTD make me giggle) during the fertile week. Two days before my supposed O and then again the day or two afterwards. We were successful in catching the egg both times. I can't believe you ladies were doing it everyday or even every other day! Wow! My hats off to ya!! I would say that our lives as school teachers just doesn't allow the time, but y'all are just as busy as us. Again, wow!

I still haven't decided if we should go for it within the next week or so, or wait one more cycle. Waiting is just gonna kill me!!! I guess if I can get the results of all these US and pelvic exams that doc wants to do-will make decision easier. Either way, on CD 4 today and still only had bleeding on CD 1. So weird!! The last MC had me bleeding for about 4-5 days. Anywho...

Congrats and great numbers Berdc!!! Mine were no where near that high this last time at 4 weeks. I'm praying for a sticky one for ya!! Wahoo!!!

When will the Dr. get back to you? Did you ever figure why the bleeding for one day?

Going in for the tests sometime before the end of this week. I was supposed to call and make an appointment as soon as I was done bleeding. I keep waiting for more so I hadn't called yet. Will call to schedule in the morning.
