Trying to conceive # 1 with male fertility issues

[CathiiNoo]

The animal shelter here has so many gorgeous dogs and cats. If I lived on a farm, I would adopt as many as I could lol. We have 4 dogs and 2 cats. Our next pet is going to be an African grey parrot. OH has been nagging me for one.

Happy birthday have a lovely day x

Happy birthday lol.

I'm out this cycle AF was a week late. Now on for trying clomid and progesterone!!! Also getting DH tested again!

 

[CathiiNoo]

Thanks girls. I think I kind of know what it will be like having a baby. Wow that puppy has been keeping me up every night. Had 4 hours sleep last night . I know it's not the same though lol

Good luck Swimmy! I hope you both get good results x

Hi everyone!

I got in the Horny Goat Weed with Maca! Let's hope it works. I am on CD#3 and really feeling positive about August. Not as sad as I thought I would be, and ready to try again.

Congrats on the puppy!

 

[Mrshopful]

Sorry your out swimmy, fx for your next cycle and good results.

Lol cathiinoo, I hope you get some more sleep tonight.

That's a positive attitude noodle! Good luck!

I still have no new updates lol x

 

[CathiiNoo]

Awesome noodlehelm! I really hope it works for you.

Not much to report my side regarding ttc.

Hey hun! :wave: You've got yourself another stalker :wave:

Wishing you all the luck and baby dust in the world

OH turned my 5 am alarm off this morning when it went off. He was half asleep and not thinking so I woke at 6:30 and only temped then. It was of course extremely high so I discarded it. Argh.

 

[Lost7]

Darn it. Not a fan of the adjusters then?

 

[CathiiNoo]

Not really lol. It's not really accurate.

 

[NoodleHelm]

I haven't been temping like I'm supposed to.

I haven't temped at all the past few weeks actually. I am SUCH a heavy sleeper that by the time I am aware and cognitive enough to think about temping and realizing that I need to.. It's too late and I have been restless for the last 30 minutes. UGH!

I am thinking of getting a clearblue fertility monitor if we don't get pregnant in the next 3 months.

The Goatweed came in! DH is going to start taking it today, so hopefully it will be in his system by next weekend!

 

[Mrshopful]

Fx it works noodleHelm x

 

[CathiiNoo]

Fingers crossed that the goat weed helps.

So I've been checking my cm from this morning and it went from sticky to creamish to sticky with a small amount of EWCM. How much EWCM should I have to consider it very fertile? I battle with getting wet during sex and haven't had the time to get pre seed so been using a normal lubricant which is obviously bad.

Gearing up to ovulate so I'm hoping to see a ton more EWCM.

 

[NoodleHelm]

Thanks everyone! Hopefully it starts working by next weekend. I am making him take two a day right now. LOL.

I would say once it is all clear CM and nothing white or creamy, is when it is at its most fertile. I would def get the preseed, or nothing at all. Other lubes will kill sperm on contact.

 

[CathiiNoo]

I'm going to try see if there's stock today. There wasn't last weekend. I will start testing for O tonight.

Where are all you ladies in your cycles?

Oh and on a positive note, we get the keys for our house today. Yay!

 

[Mrshopful]

That's great news cathiinoo.

I'm due to ovulate next week so will start doing OPKs tomorrow x

 

[swimmyj1]

yay for getting the keys congrats!!!
only on cd 6 waiting to O is annoying sometimes

 

[CathiiNoo]

I don't know which is worse. The wait until O or the two week wait lol.

I didn't get the injection today but he gave me tablets called folliculim. It's just to help my eggs. He also told me to get EPO to help with the cm which I will start next cycle from CD1-CD14.

Hope you ladies have a great day.

 

[Lost7]

Good luck sweetie!
