Resisting the title Wonky Cycles R Us....boarding the Maca Train to BFP Central!

[nevertogether]

that's awesome to hear tnt, congrats!

char - i've been ovulating every cycle, but it seems that all of DH's trips are arriving the day of ovulation or very very close. also, my cycle seemed a lot more regular before my LAP..now it's shorter and AF seems to just come whenever she wants. i was used to my 14 day LP.

DH and i have been talking about maybe trying to do the frozen sperm if we don't conceive in august. since he's never here during ovulation, we're thinking it might be the best to freeze it so i can use it when i'm ovulating. we know it's going to be expensive, but if anyone knows more about it please let me know. thanks girls.

dandy - nice to see you here honey. i had a lap in february. it wasn't too bad and it was nice to know nothing was wrong with me.

hmm thanx tnt, i am cd 18 and my gyn did a scan and took bloods and said i was ok to go ahead with taking clomid, just 50mg, i guess maybe i should do the lap then in a few months...the thought of an op is terrifying

Well glad she did the scan then. Ops are a little scary but with everything they did to me...which was alot... I was up on my feet in about 3 days and back to work in a week. So it wasn't too bad. I think it would be worth a shot for sure.

I think that would be a good idea. And if it works pretty fast it will be worth it bc you can get out of military and be with your hubby more. Will you do IUI with the frozen sperm? I heard that there is a high success rate with frozen sperm if nothing is wrong with both partners. So sense you two are good to go then im thinking you will have very good success. Plus like you said if you had those 2 days before OV to do the deed I bet you'd have more luck.

Huge hugs never think that plan is a great idea bet it works as well

 

[yazzy]

Aww Never...sending you a huge hug. Roll on the day you two live together properly, you must be a strong couple making it work with all this time and distance. Wishing you all the best.

Tnt - wow that is soooo exciting!! Identical girls wow! Oooh they will arrive earlier...well in the UK they don't let you go past 37 weeks with identical twins. So pleased that everything is looking good.

Dandy - sorry to hear about your OH's results...I hope the clomid works though and you don't need to have ivf. Have you looked into your OH taking supplements like zinc etc that help? Hey you will be just behind me as I finished my clomid on Wed.

AFM - I am cd8 today, finished my clomid on Wednesday (50mg) I hope it works this month as I had a few s/e from taking it, nothing bad though. Have no idea when i'll O but I am hoping its next week...exciting times!!

 

[kelster823]

well HELLO ladies- long time talk....

Just a quick stop to hi and to check up to see how everyone is gettng along

Sure seems like everyone is doing fine

Char- must be on pins and needles - hope the labor goes well for you

looks like all the preggos are also doing good- which is nice to see, TnT- you know I always get your posts on FB and glad to see the lil ladies are progressing nicely

Never- your photod from your tirp with hubby are awesome and I know how much you are misisng him right now :: HUGS ::

AFM- my LONG well well NEEDED break from here has been uneventful in a way- but MUCH MUCH NEEDED.... I can say that I have been ovulating on a regular basis now and there is no guessing game with me anymore however, hubby and I are not TRYING anymore... if it happens it happens---- and I am in a place now where I am perfectly fine with that.........

but I do think of you all and hope your dreams are exactly what you deserve... and these lil bubbas are a BUNDLE OF JOYS for you

 

[ttcbaby117]

Never - I think that is a great idea...I think the fs will probably prescribe clomid for you and do IUI with his frozen sperm. I believe the cost in the US is around 1000 but it may be different where you are.....I think it is a good idea to look into it and see what your options are. Sending you a ton of love hun!

Hi to everyone else! Nothing much going on here...just happy for all the to be mothers and wishing the best for all of us ttcers

Hi maca girls

Yazzy - lovely to see you on here. Hope you're doing ok - and I've got everything crossed for you that clomid brings you that sticky bean

Dandy - sorry to hear about the SA result but it sounds good that it improved over time. My OH got one done and it was 20 million, so still quite low. Remember it only needs one good one!! We went to see a fertility specialist nutritionist and she recommended something call BioCare Male Forte and said this had everything in it needed for male fertility. My OH was taking that and maca for a few months before we got the BFP. Also, I think IUI can be really successful - one of the girls from an over 35 thread that I'm on got her BFP the first month of IUI after TTC for quite a while. Good luck, hon

Never - sounds like the frozen sperm could be a good option - at least you wouldn't be feeling like you were losing lots of opportunities when you're apart from OH. I don't know much about it but I'm hoping you get some good information and advice about this

Kel - great to hear from you, sweetie. Sounds like you've got a great attitude to things right now - and you do hear lots of stories of people getting their BFP when they take a more relaxed attitude towards it. Take care

TNT - that's amazing you've got identical girls growing in you! How much fun is there going to be in your house while they're growing up!! Great to hear from you

TTC - have you started the higher dose of clomid yet, I'm still keeping it all crossed for you this cycle

AFM - I'm doing ok, pretty stressful week at work so have had a relaxing weekend. We saw a lovely flat yesterday that I'm trying to persuade my OH we should buy! He wants a big garden and this one has quite a small garden, but I reckon it's good to have a low maintenance garden for the next few years!!

Hi to everyone else, hope you're enjoying your weekends xx

 

[dandybrush]

thanx leeze...well i hope the maca does its job

 

[xcharx]

tnt - wahooo both girls!! yay and identical!! congratz aw love it!!

dandy - im glad youve finally got some answers - even if its not what u wanted to hear!! fxd the maca && clomid works

Hello Ladies

Hope you dont mind me asking you a few questions about Maca?

I have just purchased some and am planning to take 1500mg a day? Is this enough for it too work? And if I get that do I continue to take it through out pregnancy or shall I stop?

Thanks for your time

Kate

 

[xcharx]

Kate!! I'd start on 1000mg a day & build up to 3000mg a day over a few weeks? I think most ppl stop taking it jus after ovulation, see if u get a bfp or af, if u get af start taking it again... I wouldn't take it if u get a bfp because there's no research on taking maca whilst pregnant! hope that helps & I'm sure the other girls will give u some good advice to.. oh have u got the tablets or powder?? Xx

Hello ladies

TNT, wow congratulations. Twin girls how fantastic is that

CHAR, i can't believe your nearly there

SBB and CELTIC, Hope your little ones are doing ok.

Lots of love to you all.
