Trying to conceive # 1 with male fertility issues

[CathiiNoo]

I'm really sorry I hope they do go up. Just remember everyone is different and HCG can be slower than another's.

As for me, I'm finally getting EWCM so the EPO is working although I'm getting it at strange days of my cycle(see chart) and at least a week or more from O. Gonna BD tonight anyways. I caved and bought more clear blue digital pregnancy tests as they were nearly half price off. I can't wait to use them but hate seeing 'not pregnant'.

Lost, how was your weekend away?

 

[Lost7]

It was great thank you! I just added a video to my Facebook!

My hcg was 179 today so we doubled this time! I must just be a slow riser sense it took 70 hours for that one. still not so great with it being that low. But guess I will see Wednesday what they are lol

 

[Lost7]

Slow rising is better than nothing! Yay, so happy for you! I bet you're over the moon!

 

[CathiiNoo]

I'm glad it's risen quite a bit though. FX everything is all well from here forward. I so badly want you to have your sticky bean xxx

I wake up this morning to take the rubbish out for the rubbish truck to collect and there's a bull parking so cheesy outside my gate. Only in South Africa lol

 

[swimmyj1]

hahahahahaha sorry i can't help but laughing at that one your right only in south Africa.

Hi everyone. How are you all?

I've been training all this week, so haven't had much time on my personal computer. It's been rough. So much new information. I'm on CD12 here and my OPK's are getting darker. Still a stark negative, though I am estimated to Ovulate tomorrow. Maybe Friday.

I'm glad your levels are rising Swimmy!

 

[CathiiNoo]

Hi noodle.

Im super thanks!CD14 and OPKS also negative. I've had a rough time with my temps. I'm falling asleep with the thermometor still in me lol. I'm normally so good with accurate temps. Oh well.

I wanted to ask you ladies with a personal question. I'm battling to get wet during intercourse. It's been happening for the past 6 months or so and it makes me feel self concious. I am attracted to OH and I do orgasm but don't get wet. It's really strange. Is there anything I can take to maybe help besides lube?

I hope you all have a magical day full of baby dust x

 

[swimmyj1]

I've heard eating soy can help with that. but usually people just say to use lubricant. I had that for a few months when I was really stressed. We ended up just having to really slow things down and letting me get wet first or it wouldn't happen.

Fingers crossed my labs are higher today. I can't wait to stop getting labs drawn.

 

[NoodleHelm]

I have that issue too. I have had it more since since I started taking the vitamin every day. We just have to use a small amount of preseed. Never the amount the package says. It helps.

We really needed to bd last night, but we weren't able to. :/ so then we were going to try this morning and we weren't able to either. I'm wondering if I have put too much pressure on him this month. Blah. I'm feeling really down and dissapointed this morning. Hopefully since I am getting negative OPK's it won't matter that we didn't.

 

[swimmyj1]

If you are still getting negative opks you might be fine. I'm sorry he's feeling the pressure my DH didnt do well with that either. Lab finally called, im up to 424 so I doubled again, I just hate that they are so low!

 

[Lost7]

Doubling is good, you'll get there! Gah - so happy and excited for you! Keep us updated!

 

[CathiiNoo]

We haven't been able to BD much. By the time we back from work and done what we need to do in the house, we're exhausted. I really wanted to the the SMEP this month but we weren't able to. Have a ton of creamy CM so hoping EWCM will follow soon. Negative opk last night which I'm kind of greatful for cause like you we werent able to BD much.

With OH owning his own business ( it's quite new) he has been working a lot and I think it's putting pressure on both of us. He has said we should go for date night tonight, maybe watch a movie and have dinner. We'll see.

Swimmy, I'm glad they're going up though. Are you hoping for a boy or girl? X

 

[NoodleHelm]

I'm glad your levels are going up.

I got a positive opk last night. Had a negative when I got home from work. Tested right before bed and it was positive. We were able to BE last night so fingers crossed we will catch the egg! I had to use oral on him to get him erect, so prayers that doesn't bother anything.. And I had virtually no cm. Ugh! We will also try again tonight.

 

[CathiiNoo]

Bad night last night. Guy turned in front of my mom and I driving back from work and we couldnt stop in time. Mom's car is a right off. So thankful we Atleast have my car to get places. We fine as we were wearing our seat belts.Will post pics later when I'm on my laptop.

 

[NoodleHelm]

That is horrible. Thank goodness you are all OK. How scary!!!

I wanted to BD last night so bad, and DH couldn't. I got so frustrated with him. It makes me feel hurt and like I'm not attractive enough for him or something. I feel like it was super important that we did last night. We are probably out this month, already. I want to be hopeful and I know it only takes one time but I can't help but to feel resentful.

 

[swimmyj1]

Omg im glad you are ok, sorry about your car though. Car accidents can shake you up that is for sure.

 

[Lost7]

Oh my gosh. Huge hugs for you, thank god you're okay. Metal can be replaced, lives can't. So thankful, especially what happened to your friend a few months back, she's still on my mind by the way, day in day out.

 

[CathiiNoo]

Thanks ladies. You're all precious xx

I'm really confused with my chart. My temps are so rocky and I havent gotten a positive opk or even close but I'm apparently 3 dpo. I think FF is unsure at this point. The only thing that's different is the weather constantly changing which could effect my temps and I'm taking EPO. BDING has been out the question which sucks really. OH just hasn't been in the mood which hurts. I dont know why

 

[NoodleHelm]

Hugs.

I know the feeling.

How are you feeling today after the a wreck?
