I tilt my hips up for about 15 minutes (unless I'm on a beach).
I was also doing the legs in the air every time DH left the room. This last cycle, on my two CBFM peak days, we used https://www.liberator.com/eng/product/liberator-wedge/10021 one of those. It's actually really great for in general, and DH loves it. Hadn't used it in a long time (did when we first got married), so I dragged it out the other day. Figure get those as close as possible!
I'm really not sure how I feel about this cycle at all at this point. I know my timing, as far as I could control, was great. Two/three days before O, and the day of, day after. Couldn't get better than that. By this point the last two cycles I was spotting for , so at least I don't have that. I am utterly , I could just lie down on the couch and take another four hour nap like I have the last three days, and still sleep the 7 or eight hours at night. Ugh.
Very thick yellow CM. Just, gobs. Not a lot at all, just when I wipe (I know, I know, TMI). Some pelvic "pressure" (because I don't know what else to call it).
I talked to a friend/colleague of mine who is a GYN today about what my *current* GYN is telling me (try for a year, and then we'll jump to Clomid). She didn't like that idea - said they should at least *look* at what's going on, see if I need follicle stimulation, make sure I am ovulating. Her words were "Why don't they just set you up, make sure you're ovulating, stimulate you if need be, BOOM, you're pregnant, it's done, everyone is happy."
If it weren't for the fact that DH is out of work till who knows when, and I didn't know what was up with insurance, I would just switch to her. I just like her outlook better. DH doesn't understand why you would tell someone to wait for a year to keep trying without trying to figure things out. We'll see...
Well, exhaustion and yellow tinged discharge are pregnancy symptoms, and sounds like you covered your basis, could be good things in the works!
We got the liberator wedges (the big and the little) when we first got married too, like 7 years ago. They've mostly been up in the closet the last few years though, good idea to break em out again! I definitely don't look like those girls on the website (of course neither does my husband) and I'm not nearly as bendy!! But they can be fun and they do a nice tilt! I was thinking about it the other day for after sex so I wouldn't have to use my abs to hold my hips up (lol, that lazy I guess!) but it didn't occur to me to use for sex!
I too wish that if you go in and tell your doc you're trying or about to start they would do a basic work-up. All I got was come back in a year if it's not working and my immunities checked (and then a measles/mumps/rubella booster since mine apparently wore off from when I was little). I did get a VERY thorough exam. Has anybody had their rectum violated by their doctor? Cause I did at that visit and I'm still like how the hell did that happen? Am I alone? Hope not
