Trying to conceive # 1 with male fertility issues

[NoodleHelm]

I was offered the job!!! On a contingency that my background comes back clean, which it will. I've never had more than a warning ticket for speeding, so I'm good.

I went ahead and put in my two week's notice as they want me to start on 8/24. I am SO excited.

 

[CathiiNoo]

Congratulations noodle! I'm super happy for you xx

I've only had 1 parking ticket because I parked at an angle where a loading truck couldn't get out BUT it was a non loading zone so I don't see how that's fair as there were about 5 other cars parked on the same road. Oh well lol

11DPO today. No sign of AF but temp has dipped so will probably expect her sometime today.

 

[Lost7]

Keeping my FX for you!

 

[NoodleHelm]

12DPO today, and I'm pretty sure I can feel her coming. VERY crampy, and my hips are aching.. Which is a huge sign for me. URGH.

Good news is, since I got the new job, this next cycle, I will be home more and we can *hopefully* bd more often if DH can keep on the track he is on. WOOHOO

 

[CathiiNoo]

Still no AF but tons of creamy cm and a slight brown tinge so guessing she's trying to come.

Noodle it's great that you can get some more BDing in. Always helpful xx

 

[CathiiNoo]

How all you lovely ladies doing?

 

[NoodleHelm]

Doing good here. AF due tomorrow, and I can feel her already.

Preparing to start training for the new job. Still working at my old one until next Friday, and trying to tie up loose ends.

I am excited about what this new job means for us, and I really can not wait!

How are you today, Cathii?

 

[CathiiNoo]

Hey hun! I'm doing alright, work has been hectic so a tad stressed. AF started today. My fertility specialist has advised me to try one more month on the treatment we're on. Well it's more like supplements for OH and if no luck this cycle then he will up the treatment.

I can't wait for you to start your new job. Less stress, more baby making sessions x

Wishing you both the best for this cycle!

I am now on CD3. Feeling super upbeat and positive, because I know we can give it a really great chance this cycle. I ordered more Horny Goat Weed, and also adding in Black Maca to the mix for him.

Ready to get on with the baby making.

What supplements is your OH on Cathii?

Lost, Thanks for the hugs. Fx for testing day!

You're welcome sweetie!
I've never heard of horny goat weed and black maca! Good luck with those hun! I've just done a cycle of Soya!

 

[NoodleHelm]

Those are the supplements DH takes for his performance issues.

I was pretty sure he had Erectile Dysfunction, but now (since taking these) I am thinking it is a hormone issue. I feel like if it was true ED, these wouldn't have worked to give him his libido back. However, his PCP (which is military) was not very helpful at all. I want him to request a new PCP, but that is a long process. Ugh.

 

[Lost7]

Ugh poor you! My Fiancé can have some 'issues' so I might well look at starting him on these too! Thanks hun, FX for you!

 

[CathiiNoo]

Hello noodle! OH is on normal multi vitamins, tribulus ( body builders use it for testerone) as my fertility specialist says this helps with sperm count and sperm aid. I'm taking 1500mg of EPO until O (that reminds me I forgot my afternoon dose lol), folic acid, premular and multi vitamins. I've ordered conceive plus but I doubt it will get to SA in time. I'm CD 4 so we're one day apart.

Let's hope this month is all our month xxx

 

[CathiiNoo]

BTW Lost, your chart really looks great! X

 

[Lost7]

Thanks Cathii! It always does this early though! It'll soon go pear shaped.

I read that as 'I doubt it'll get to Semen Analysis in time' and thought What the hell? Then realised it was South Africa. I was like why's she taking Conceive Plus to the Semen analysis?

 

[CathiiNoo]

Hahahaha I'm confused like that

 

[Lost7]

Ha ha, yeah!

 

[NoodleHelm]

I read it as Semen Analysis, too! LOL!

I ordered Conceive Easy this weekend. Hoping it will be here in time to get into my system. Doubtful. However, I have a friend who took it to get pregnant with both of her kids, and got pregnant the month she started using it. I only had to pay S&H for the kit this time.

Lost, It has really made a huge difference for him. We went almost 7 months with no sex. We would mess around, but he couldn't become erect enough to have intercourse. It was so frustrating. Since he has been on this, he has been initiating sex because it has really boosted his ego again. His drive is back, and I am loving it!

I hope this month is ours! We can be cycle buddies!
