Trying to conceive # 1 with male fertility issues

[NoodleHelm]

We had a miscarriage last July 2014, and have been kind of not trying not preventing for the last year. Hoping it would happen on its own. Then he started having performance issues and we started on the horny goat weed with maca last cycle which helped his problems. I'm 10DPO with faint positives on 3 different kind of tests.

 

[CathiiNoo]

That makes me so happy! How did your OH react? That horny goat weed is a miracle worker. It's helped my OH in so many ways. Maybe not pregnant yet but it's a start xx

for CD1

 

[CathiiNoo]

Thanks Lost! X

CD2 and feeling great I guess. Im lucky as I don't get cramps before or even during AF and they're normally light to medium but today is heavier than normal. That's about it.

I'm trying to think of ways to increase my ewcm. I'm taking EPO until O 2000MG a day. If you ladies have any other suggestions that would be great x

 

[Lost7]

That nasty cough medicine gave me EWCM, I'm just too chicken to keep taking it! Take it in the 6 days leading up to and the day of O.

EPO didn't actually do anything for me and I took up to 2,000mg.

 

[CathiiNoo]

EPO normally works for me but I want more ewcm cause I get like 1 blob and it's gone lol. I don't know where to get that cough syrup from. Need to try the pharmacy after work.

 

[NoodleHelm]

Would you guys mind if I stayed in this thread and follow your journeys? I'm rooting for y'all.

 

[CathiiNoo]

Of course noodle! We would love to get updates from you too and see scans etc xx

 

[NoodleHelm]

The pharmacy should have the syrup. I've also heard great things about Grape Fruit juice!

 

[CathiiNoo]

Will definitely check for both on the weekend. Got an appointment with my fertility specialist in Saturday so will see what he has to say.

When you going for your first scan noodle?

 

[NoodleHelm]

Well I went this morning and the urine test came back negative. However.. I have had over 10 positive digitals and FRERs.. She said it's because their tests aren't as sensitive so it will take longer to show up. They won't do a blood test until I get a positive urine test. Ugh. So I go back in two weeks.

 

[CathiiNoo]

The tests they use here in the hospias will only pick up a pregnancy from like 5 weeks so not very sensitive! Could you post pics of your progression tests? How far along are you? X

 

[swimmyj1]

Hey girls dropping in to see how ur doing. I did a ultrasound last Friday and saw a little heart beat and fetal pole so next scan on the 22nd, my last level still was crappy but I stopped doing them after my ultrasound. My doctor said that ultrasounds are more reliable. I still think I'm going to mc and it's scaring me but more waiting.

I tried doing cough syrup before but for some reason it didn't work for me.

 

[CathiiNoo]

Hi Swimmy! So glad to hear from you. A heart beat is a super good sign. I think it would have stopped beating already if you were going to miscarry. So I'm super hopeful and positive for you!

So I read that sperm is mor potent in the mornings? Anyone heard of this? I just so badly love my sleep haha.

Hope you all have a great day!

 

[swimmyj1]

Bad news went in for an emergency scan today. my hcg levels dropped and heartbeat is gone today just stinks. gonna sit on my couch eat ice cream and have a little cry then let this go. Hopefully it won't take us as long to get the next bfp and hopefully that one is sticky.

 

[Lost7]

Cathii, I love my sleep too and I haven't heard that!
We always always always do baby dancing in the PM's... He goes to work at 6am and there's no way in earth I'll be up at 5am for some nookie! It just ain't happening lol!'
He knows if he tried to wake me I'd probably slap him lol.

 

[CathiiNoo]

I'm so sorry Swimmy. That breaks my heart I get so excited when someone gets their miracle. I hope it doesn't take you long to get pregnant again. Are you going to wait a couple months before you start ttc again?

Lost, my OH despises me because I can sleep in so late. He is always up at 4 or 5am even though he so badly wants to be able to lie in. He woke me up before 5am on Sunday for some sexy time ( don't ask why I call it that lol) and I actually enjoyed it strangely but I'm more of a PM person.

CD10 for me. Going to start tracking ovulation from tonight. Oh yes and I recommend you ladies try coconut oil as lube. It's amazing and lasts so long. I battle to get wet and because of that never enjoyed sex like I should but now, WOW! Haha.

 

[Mrshopful]

Hi ladies I hope you are all ok. It's been months since I was on here last but I needed to get away from everything ttc while OH and I was waiting for him to do a second SA. I think I was starting to get depressed after his zero count result, I was just crying all the time and felt so low.
So it's been 3 months and we got his results back yesterday, 85 million! And they are all normal. We can't believe it! We are back on cycle 1 but we actually have a chance now.

Swimmy I'm so sorry to read your news, I hope your doing ok. Xx

 

[swimmyj1]

Mrshopful - wow!!! that's amazing was he doing anything different?!?! hope it doesn't take you guys too much longer!

CathiiNoo- I think i'm going to have to try that for sure lol. I actually love "sexy time" in the morning way more than at night hahaha but my DH doesn't

I'm doing ok, yesterday i had a good cry and ate ice cream. So today i'm a lot better. but DH isn't doing so well. Guess it will just be one day at a time. Going to do cytotec if i don't mc this weekend. Don't want to drag it out anymore. I probably will wait a month to start temping again but my doctor said we can do fertility meds again in a cycle or 2 so we will see if i'm ready

 

[CathiiNoo]

Mrs hopeful, that is great news! I'm also interested if he did anything different? From zero to 85 million. Excellent. My OH one was 25 million a few months back with only 1mm quantity. I've had him on meds so I'm looking forward to going for his second one if I don't get pregnant in the next 2 cycles. I can't wait to see those two pink lines for you soon! X

Swimmy you're going to have to seduce him lol. I hate kissing in the mornings if we haven't brushed our teeth. It grosses me for someone reason so I just let him do doggy style or something hahaha. Sorry if that's tmi.

So CD11 for me. Negative opk. Tons of white cm and a little ewcm so I'm guessing my body is getting ready to O in the next week or so. I'm excited for this cycle but not holding onto too much hope.

Hope you ladies have a great evening (or afternoon) xx
