I think you will find variations in your cycle while ttc. We pay so much more attention. Don't be discouraged. 4 days early just means you are 4 days closer to trying again.

Ok guys...i am currently on my back in the doctors office doing my 20 min wait after IUI. So my husbands count went from 12 million to 42 million prewash! Post wash went from 1 million to 4 million!!! We are so excited. She kept asking what we were doing to get it up. Must be the fertility blend. It has been about 3 months since he started it. And I told her about the cm. Then (tmi alert) she showed me a huge glob she got from my cervix.

I am just so excited right now. She said no back up IUI but to have sex Friday. We will also do blood work mon to confirm ovulation.

Thank you. Been tracking my cycle for a long time. Had to have d&c a year ago for fibroids...at that point I had a super short cycle. Post D&C was on a pretty regular cycle. Now of course TTC and things have gone all out of whack again.

My cycle used to be clockwork...then we started ttc & was put on clomid...clomid made it go from 28 to 32. Then I was off it for a month & I had a 25 day cycle which is unheard of for me. Now back on clomid & my cycle went back to 32 days.

I am so upset right now! If you remember my car being backed into this will make more sense. So I have been informed that my insurance can not get in touch with the lady that hit my car. And they have no way basically to track her down. So we are going to be stuck with the bill now. So that means no ultrasound no IUI and no ovidrel shot! This sucks so bad. It's like the people who try and do the right thing and take care of their property get screwed! So unfair. I know life isn't fair but come on life cut me a break, pleeeease!

Beaglemom hope this is your last IUI!

 

[Curlymikes]

Beglemom, that all sounds so great!!! I really hope the iui works sounds like you are more fertile this month. Are you going to try to get some bd sessions in too? With all that cm you should try or are you going to do another iui?

Misaacs sorry about your car and even more sorry about not getting the treatment you want. Maybe things happened for a reason and maybe you will end up pregnant naturally! You never know. I know it still stinks but dont give up on this cycle.

 

[beaglemom]

misaacs - I have been in the same situation. Have you already gotten the car repaired? If not, maybe you can hold off on that & use the money instead for the fertility treatment. If it is not too bad damage, you may want to consider. But I guess if the repair is already done, the decision is made for you.

curly - doctor recommended I have sex on Friday. I think she is sticking with the every other day approach. But when I told her of my concern with the ovulation day, she didn't seem too concerned...especially after seeing all the cm. So i will stick with Friday & also continue to do the opks. Hopefully I will get a positive today & a peak on the monitor tomorrow. And with the count my husband has, we have a decent shot at natural conception if the iui timing was off.

I am going to kohls on my lunch to celebrate & hopefully find something cute in the baby department.

EDIT/UPDATE....I JUST GOT MY POSITIVE OPK!!!

Runner momma welcome! Good luck in your journey!

Beaglemom....eek! That all sounds soooo exciting!!! Can't wait to hear how it turns out! What is your hubby taking? Just fertility vitamins? I think we're going to schedule the SA for next Friday, so trying to figure out what we should try first if it's bad news.

Missacs... Ugh! That us awful! I'm so sorry for your setback!! Hopefully you guys can save up and get back on track soon!

He is taking a ton of vitamins. I decided when one bottle empties, I am letting it go. He says it is too much...so I decided I could cut him some slack. But anyways, he is taking fertility blend from gnc (he will never get off the hook on that one), zinc, selenium, magnesium, vit c, omega 3, maca root, regular multi vitamin, iron. I think there are some others. I would say the fertility blend definitely & a regular multi vitamin.

Oh & remember...whatever he does now will not affect his sperm until 3 months from now. The sperm today was made 3 months ago. So for anyone else out there who have borderline counts or never have had an SA, DEF put your husband/partner on the fertility blend and a regular vitamin. You don't want to have to wait 3 months to see a progress once you know there is a problem. And they can't hurt him if he does have an issue.

We have not got it repaired yet but I rather do it now than later. I have also been stressing out over the money being spent on this. I would rather wait till this summer when I can get another job that will cover all or most of the expenses. That way I can calm down more. I am also so tense about bills and what money is left over when we have done IUI. Also, in the summer I will have the extra money to do acupuncture or a massage. I don't want to stop taking my Femara though because I know I O and it could happen without IUI. I have been doing a lot of thinking about this and I know stress can cause you to have delayed ovulation and to not get pregnant. So I want to wait until I can be more stress free.

 

[floridasian]

Oh Beaglemom that sounds really promising! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! I wish I had that much fertile CM. I've also added more and more vitamins for DH to take (I probably take around 10 in addition to the multi-vitamins myself) and he's not liking that but I'll have to check out Fertility Blend!

 

[savvysaver]

Wow, it looks like I missed an exciting morning around here!

Beaglemom, So glad the IUI worked out and you got a positive opk too! Wow your hubbys count sounds awesome. I am definitely picking up the fertility blend at GNC for my hubby, I meant to last week and totally forgot. Welcome to the tww!

Misaacs, I am so sorry to hear about your large insurance bill. It really isn't fair when the accident wasn't even your fault. I am sorry you will be unable to get the IUI, tests or shots this month.

I had a rough morning, I woke up with a horrible stomachache and was in pain for about 8 hours, I didn't get sick and never thought I would...(tmi alert) it was just multiple BMs. I am finally feeling a bit better and actually hungry so I ate a small lunch. Taking it easy for the rest of the afternoon. I was up throughout the night and my temps were crazy, so I am not sure what to do about my chart. I woke up at 1:45 and was thirsty and had to pee, woke up at 4 and had a stomachache and was really cold, I also had to pee, my temp was 97.7 and then I woke up again at 6 with the stomachache and temp was 98.6, trying to figure out what would be accurate for today, I usually temp at 6am. For the last few days I constantly feel like I need to pee, even after I just went.

 

[floridasian]

Savvy - sorry to hear about your stomach problems. Hope you're feeling better now. Don't you just hate it when it happens at the "important" days of the month that it totally throws off your chart? Fx'ed it'll stay up tomorrow.

 

[beaglemom]

Savvy, maybe that is good stuff happening...who knows?

Misaacs, I am so sorry for all your stress. I hope things can calm down for you soon.

 

[savvysaver]

Thanks girls, I am feeling okay right now. I guess at least it wasn't when I was waiting for O confirmation, that could really throw off a chart. I have been cold all day, not chills just feel cold, sitting under a heated blanket now.

 

[misaacs117]

On a better note. I have already seen a differnce in my cm from taking fertile cm and evening primrose oil. Going to start taking guaifenesin on cd9 to help even more. Maybe this is the right combination of what I need to get a sticky bean!

Sounds like a good plan! Fx'd for lots of fertile cm and a sticky bean!

That's great these things are working for you. I seem to have tried everything but nothing helped. So far I've tried FertileCM but gave up after three cycles (didn't work and too expensive), evening primrose oil, green tea, grapefruit juice, and 400 mg of guaifenesin from CD9 to O.
