Oh wow is that including the SI or not?? 205mg of SI is 13 caps for me plus the roughly 7 other vitamins/supps. I know you were taking B vits as well.

It wasn't but I did have some cramping. Really not hopeful for this cycle as we had a little accident at he finish line basically we didn't get any of the stuff inside so tried to salvage it and put it in a soft cup to insert (and now it's my turn to mess up) I spilled most of it inserting. So there is not much hope
But at least it seems like I'm getting my lp sorted out.

 

[fairyy]

Xokittycatxo: I am doing good hun. How are you ?
I think I have started to get mild AF cramps. AF due this weekend. I would really be bummed if I get BFN this time with such strong ovulation and ovulation spotting. I have got ovulation spotting earlier but never got that "O" cramps.

Your BD timing is perfect. Fingers crossed for a BFP hun.

Golden: I am hopeful for you with all that BD and strong ovulation.
Keep us posted about your progesterone result. Good luck sweetie.

I see few new ladies here. Welcome new members.

Lost hun, how are you doing ?
Hope you are doing good.

How are the preggo ladies doing ? Who is due when ?
Your BFP's and healthy pregnancies give us hope.

Yeah, 5 of those were SI.

ah dont worry about that! after getting upset over not BDing day before ovulation, i figured it doesnt really matter when we BD, if its meant to be! it will happen. It takes one sperm out of millions to make a baby.
I had cycles where i had the perfect BD timing and yet i got bfn.

oh also from an other thread, this lady was trying for 4 months no success so they stopped ttc and that month she fell pregnant. She said they only BDd day before ovulation but he didnt ejaculate inside.

So who knows!!! lets be positive this month

Sounds like my story. Only we were trying 19 months. Last couple of cycles I gave up (I think we both did tbh) and low and behold. FF even noted me down as a 'low' chance of pregnancy that month too. I O'd the day after we last BD'd. We did BD the day of O but he didn't climax.

Good to hear! Hopefully the cramps are implantation!!! I know a lot of women mistake them for af cramps and swear she's coming but never does. Hope this is the case with you.

Ahh you are all the bes! Make me feel so much better. You're right...it only takes one. So I will be optimistic but realistic at the same time...if that's even possible in this situation

Fx for us both Golden.

Lost your story gives me so much hope. How are you feeling?

Hi girls

Thought I'd post here as going to give SI a try this month.

Basic back story - been trying for our second baby now since August 2014. For a year my cycles were all over the place. I was tested for PCOS last spring and the blood tests came back with a raised free androgen index (whatever that means) but normal testosterone. I also have a borderline underactive thyroid. I was prescribed thyroxine & I've been on that since July and my my cycles are now regular again (regular for me is 28-33 days). I was also prescribed metformin, but only starting taking them over Christmas. I've now had almost 6 months of regular cycles and I'm still not pregnant. I have no idea what's happening during my cycle as I don't temp or use OPK's. I was using OPK's last year, but because I never have had a positive, I found them demotivating and gave up on them completely. However, I am going to try them again now my cycles M .m are more regular and have just ordered a load of cheapies from amazon.

I've had a scan done on my ovaries and they look normal and healthy and I've had a HSG done which came back clear. I think my PCOS is very mild, although that hasn't been confirmed. I don't have any of the other typical symptoms like acne, excess hair etc.

So this month after reading all this thread and being inspired by some of the successes, I've decided to try SI. I am not even convinced I am ovulating and if I am, I think my LP is quite short, so I am also going to be taking B6 & B complex. A LOT of pills each day alongside metformin, thyroxine and prenatals!

I am new to all this as I conceived after just 2 months of NTNP with our Daughter. I assumed the same would happen this time round, but now 18 months in, I am starting to lose the will to live!

I am going to start SI tomorrow, which will be CD3 for me.

You sound a lot like me. I was ovulating but my lp was only 7 days. This is my second round of SI and I also started taking a B complex and B6 plus myo-inositol. I moved my O up from cd19 to cd15 and have lengthened my lp. This last cycle I took SI 3-7 and I think that's what I'll do next cycle.
I don't have much hope for a bfp after our screw up this round.
I'm also taking 1000 mg of vitamin c and 800 mg of vitamin e, I've read those two taken together lengthen lp. I also have natural progesterone cream I use after O and I'll also start flaxseed oil...another thing that is said to help lpd.
It's a lot of pills but so far, worth it!

We do sound similar with our various issues! I can't say for sure if I am even ovulating or not (I wasn't a few months back) but now my thyroid is sorted and my cycles are regular I am more confident that I am.

I noticed on CD24 last cycle, I had stretchy cm which I thought was fertile cm. I made sure we DTD that evening and then I came on 6 days later. I am really not that knowledgeable about cm so can't say for sure and I didn't back it up with OPK's. But lets just say I felt very very wet down there (sorry if TMI) and my hubby also commented on how slippery (!) it was down there. So if that was my fertile cm, a 6 day lp is awful! No wonder i'm not conceiving! However, my period this month (as all months) is heavy. So I would have thought with a short lp, my periods would be lighter??? However, I am on CD4 and still using super + tampons. This is all ever so confusing.

I may trying temping, I'm just not sure I'm cut out for all of that!

Good luck in your cycle this month. I know it didn't quite go to plan, but fingers crossed as there is always hope!

Sometimes it isn't unusual to get random stretchy cm during luteal phase. I would suggest to do opk's and charting and watch cm closely. You should see a pattern in your cm in correlation with opk and your temperature.

You should be getting ewcm for two/three days or more to indicate that you are fertile then.

Thanks for this. I've honestly never really paid any attention to my cm before. I just really really noticed it on day 24 last cycle and thought it was fertile. I will pay more attention this cycle. I've just ordered some cheapie OPKs. Before my thyroid was sorted, the test line would appear but never ever got as dark as or darker than the control line.
