Sorry to hear this, what are your plans now?

 

[DSemcho]

Well I talk to him again this morning, and he said he'll do it. His only obstacle is staying away from porn for three days lol. But he said even though I didn't et the Clomid we should still try this cycle.

 

[PDubs10612]

Glad that he came around And I agree, definitely try again even without the Clomid ...good luck

That's great news dsemcho!!!

Well turns out I put on 3lb at weigh in so hopefully that will be my kick up the bum to get my healthy eating & exercising back on track!! BUT it's freezing cold/snowing outside & my blanket & dressing gown are much warmer!! I am trying to stay out the kitchen tonight & determined to get back to the gym again tomorrow!!

I've just been reading a bit about the SMEP plan thinking of maybes trying it this cycle ... Will see how it goes

 

[DSemcho]

Smep?

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Sperm Meets Egg Plan. I dont know A LOT about it, I bet other ladies can help you more. I looked into it and it was a lot of scheduled DTD, which I just cannot do, lol. But Ive seen it works for a lot of people

 

[Kelskiii]

I've took this from a website ...



Here is your to-do list for the Sperm Meets Egg Plan (SMEP). You should decide to try SMEP within the first week of a new cycle. To get started, you may want to buy a nice calendar or print a calendar page from the internet. The first week of your cycle you will relax and get prepared. After that, it’s go time!

Cycle days 1-7

CD1 is your first day of full flow
Stock up on Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPKs)
Stock up on Pregnancy Tests
Mark start dates on your calendar:
CD8 = BD (“Baby Dance”/have intercourse/”try&#8221 every other day until you receive a positive OPK (+OPK)
CD10 daily OPK tests
Cycle day 8

BD, and plan to BD every other day until +OPK
Cycle day 10

Start daily OPK testing until OPK turns positive
+OPK day

BD today, tomorrow, and the next day.
Skip a day and BD one more time.
Mark test day on your calendar: +OPK day + 15 = test day
If OPK never turns positive, BD every other day until your period (AF or “Aunt Flo/Flow&#8221 arrives or until CD35
Test day (or CD35)

If AF has not arrived, take a home pregnancy test
First morning urine (FMU) does not always yield the best results, you may wish to try with your second morning urine (SMU) or an afternoon test after a 3-4 hour hold (no liquids)
Got a BFP (big fat positive)?

Thought it was worth a try as we have been dtd lots over ovulation time maybes too much!! X

 

[DSemcho]

Wow... I might consider that.mi'd have to see if the DH would be up for it...

 

[PDubs10612]

That plan makes sense...everything I've read says to try to BD every other day as it keeps sperm production up and consistent (kind of like eating keeps your metabolism up?) and since sperm takes time to replenish (up to 36 hours) that BDing more than once a day can leave DHs sperm collection low, depleted, or you may only be getting the slow swimmers

 

[DSemcho]

Hmm I am going to talk to DH about that... He doesn't like to Bd much so we might alter it a little.

Due to DHs schedule we can hardly BD at all M-F so I encourage him to do what he has to do a couple times a week to get the old spermies out haha

 

[Kelskiii]

Well af has gone ready to go again !! Hoping for a Christmas baby, my most favourite time of year!! Last December we were getting married & honeymooning in America ... Would be great this December to be sharing Christmas with our first baby!!

Back to the gym again, watching my food intake but eating chocolate, which I really need to stop!!!

Hope everyone's baby making is going well ... Baby dust all around x

I had that happen on 9-11dpo..just a bit of brown for 3 days and then nothing...frustrating these bodies of ours

*TMI-well today when I wiped, not blood exactly but it was slightly brown..hmm

same thing with me as well this morning. Trying not to over analyze, just have to wait it out i guess................. this is driving me nuts

 

[ashntony]

Well on top of being overweight, having irregular annovulatory cycles, I now found out that I have stage 1 blood pressure and very poor circulation in my legs.... So I am going to leave these ttc forums for awhile... I don't think I am going to be able to ttc for a few months...

 

[Try2findbaby]

Oh ash that's awful. Maybe the stress of ttc is causing the blood pressure? Have a break for a bit and I'm sure ull be fighting fit soon! Good luck and baby dust Hun.
