DHs ED problem is back so i guess the Maca isnt helping. Then we finally BD and when hes done i have bleeding (light-medium flow). Im hoping it goes away and its just from BD but at this point i doubt it.

dang nabbit.

That sounds like your cervix is irritated - I used to get bleeding after BD when I had a problem with my cervix

What can I do to help it?

We finished before midnight and it's 230, I'm back to spotting when wiping. I drank another cup of RRLT thinking that may help.

You could try something natural for inflammation. I can't think right off hand now what all is out there for anti-inflammatory's but I will look it up for you.

Overnight, I have maybe pen cap size spot but I'm not sure if that's from dribbling or actual spotting. I'll wait it out.

No temp spike

cm has also dried up. Looks like it is IVF for me. I will temp throughout the weekend to be sure. But I don't think it's going to happen. I'm thinking I'm going to call the doc today and let them know so I can book in time to see him if needed. I don't know what the next step is while I lose the weight and save up the money.

 

[mrs.green2015]

I'm sorry aayla! But I just know it'll happen for you soon!

It's looking like IVF for me too. Tested today and BFN. AF feels imminent too. Last round of clomid will start on CD2 and then I see my specialist on 8th July. Hopefully refer me for IVF and then it could be as soon as September (more likely October) when I start IVF.

Part of me feels like it shouldn't have come to this as I ovulate, DH has normal sperm and we have conceived twice. But, clearly something else needs doing

 

[Aayla]

Our IVF won't start until September 2017 unfortunately. Nothing is covered here. If we are lucky fertility meds will be covered on hubby's extended medical but he doesn't get that for 3 months and so I have no idea. We need to save $10,000 for the one cycle. I've done the budget and if we are scrooges we should be able to save it in less than a year but we won't be able to start saving until at least August.

I have my brother's wedding to go to and I didn't want my mom buying the air fare until I knew what was going on with this cycle but a great deal came up and she went ahead and booked it. I knew that if I didn't ovulate I wasn't going to go. It's going to be at least $2500 for the whole trip, including pass ports, new clothes etc. That's 1/4 of the cost of IVF!!! I'm so pissed about so many things.

 

[kmpreston]

I'm so lucky that the NHS fun IVF for childless couples after two years. I could manage to save for it if I had to in about 8 months but hopefully it won't come to that

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

We have no fertility coverage either. The one time we went to an RE, just the visit alone was over $300. Its crazy expensive!

 

[kmpreston]

Yeh that sucks too. The only perk of having to pay is reduced waiting time: we can do that in the Uk but there's no way I would

Do any of you ladies chart cervix position?
Mines super high and feels closed which I'm sure isn't normal just before AF but I rarely bother to check

Ive have always been terrible about charting CM and CP. I know about both but i just cant seem to get into the habit of doing them.

Spotting is just slighty tinged cm/swimmers falling to their deaths. Ive been laying around all day trying to just relax and i just told DH we are doing pelvic rest!

 

[mrs.green2015]

Km- hope your appointment in a few weeks goes well and you get to move in the right direction.

Onearth- I hope this doesn't come off rude in any way. But I'm very confused. If you know you're not ovulating why are you trying so hard to stop the spotting? Especially with supplements. I wouldn't be concerned about it at all since the actual issue is non-ovulation, which only a doctor can help. I know you're in the waiting game until you switch which totally sucks. But honestly, most likely you won't spot once you start ovulating. But until then, it seems like a lt of unnecessary stress.

Thats why i did Femara this time...to ovulate but i had this spotting that wouldnt go away.

The idea was to take the femara to induce ovulation since i had non ovulated and was spotting, then go from there.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Oneaeth- oh that makes so much more sense. I didn't realize you were taking femara. I knew I must be missing something! Lol

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

2 things:
1) Im going to start my CBEFM and Answer OPKs tomorrow. I havent used the OPk strips in forever, do you read the results at 10min like a HPT?
2) I have noticed the last few times i have drank RRLT, that my gallbladder hurts ( i do have gallstones)! OUCH. Anyone know if it could be connected?

It's no different than a soft cup.

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

I bought a box of FR opk, it came with 1 hpt too. ( the old kind, not the silly curved ones). Now I can test 3×. #TTC OBSESSED.

There's a video on Youtube, where someone put the "content" of a softcup that was taken out after 5 hours under a microscope, just to see if it actually did any good and if there were still live swimmer's in it that were good sperm, and there were. It's pretty interesting to look at. I'll go look it up and post the video.

LOL- You think you're obsessed with TTC- Take a look at the pic of my "TTCing" stash after I went a little nuts a couple weeks ago. Still waiting on a couple packages, too! Good thing hubs doesn't know how much I really spent. Ebay, just sucks me right in, lol. And it doesn't have my touch screen CBFM in the photo's or any of the vitamin's and supplements I have purchased recently either.
