Trying before AF?

[mummy2o]

Viet: Your not out yet, and normally its people who think they are out who get BFP You should be able to get into the pharmacy or grocery store. I might try it but I'll have to buy it tomorrow otherwise I'll be out :/

I still can't get the monitor maybe after christmas when the big spending is over with

Let me know how it goes jenny as I would like to invest in one, just need to convince OH...

Yeah, I got mine from eBay, but it was new, I think I only ended up paying £45 for it. The reviews seem to have been positive, and I'm hopeful because I haven't properly been charting or using OPKs so far, so we'll see how it goes!

Accupuncture? I didn't know that helped fertility, how does it work?

There are acupuncture clinics that specialise in fertility treatment. Acupuncture can be used to help restore balance in the body with all kinds of problems, google to find out about t xx

emmy, who ordered the sperm analysis? does the man's doc order it or do our docs order it for him? and does insurance pay for it?

I'm in uk so it's NHS so it's all paid for, my OH doctor requested a sperm analysis for him x

thanks

I don't think in the US it is covered by insurance.. but I have heard it only costs like $100-150.

 

[horseypants]

ok awesome

 

[horseypants]

i guess there are some things that are super expensive and others which are not. i want to get as much done as possible asap and am going to the docs the day after tomorrow to get started.

Acu is sort of mysterious. While it is shown to cure diseases, help with pain and promote fertility, doctors can't really prove HOW it works. I went to my acu for hormonal imbalance and fertility. I lined out my problems: at that point I was on CD40+ and we wanted to start ttc, but I needed to get my period and start ovulating in a timely fashion. I went every other day for a week and after the third visit AF came. My cycles went from 60+ days (after BC) to 38 days. I'm not going regularly now, but my cycles are continuing to shorten. My acu also helped me with other problems like cold/flu/fever treatment, ear infection, and head aches. I really recommend it to anyone who is open to eastern medicine.

FF is all over the place, changing my O date from CD 19 to 24 to 18. Make up your mind!! I guess I'm either 11 or 12 dpo or I'm out (as there is no way a spermy could survive long enough to make it to my egg on CD24. I feel like AF will be here any minute. I have a sore throat and cramps and am oh so tired. Nap time over here!

Tested this morning and got a faint line, HOWEVER, it was the last one of the brand I used last cycle that gave me a real squinter the day AF arrived. I think the tests are faulty, so not getting excited about that shadow of a line.

 

[aknqtpie]

Fx'd that it is a BFP!!!

 

[vietmamsie]

ok, just dug it out of the trash.. it looks mush more like a line then the one last cycle. dare I get excited?

 

[vietmamsie]

maybe I should just attach it? Let me know what you think...

Bumped up the contrast just a bit so maybe you can see it better?

 

[aknqtpie]

picture is too small, so I don't see a line..

 

[Libbysmum]

more stupid spotting today...freaks me out every time!

 

[vietmamsie]

double click on the picture to make it bigger! Added another one, messed with the contrast a bit more so you can see the line better. Photoshop is dangerous! We can make BFP's out of anything!

Oh no! Have you talked to your doctor about it?

 

[aknqtpie]

I see a shadow of a line! Hopefully it will get darker!! Didn't you say a while back that someone was bringing you a FRER?

YES! I have two digital FRER tests in my stash. I wanted to save them for a time like this when I think I see something but don't know for sure. With the cheap strips I was still getting faint lines (but darker than this whisper of a line) until I miscarried. SO you think it's time to break one out?

I think I will test tomorrow morning with another cheapy, but this time with this new Korean brand I found in the store... says you can test 6-9 days after conception with it! If there's another faint line, it will be time to break out the FRER on Thursday morning. FX!!

 

[aknqtpie]

Hopefully they work!!! I would give it a few more days before using the digital!
