TTC after a Tubal Reversal ~Come Join Me~

[fluterby429]

Oh and I think I'm going on 100mg of clomid next cycle just to boost my chances for my one and only shot for a long time. I'm concerned with CM issues so I guess I'll be sipping on the Robitussin (grooossss) but gotta do what ya gotta do.

This baking soda finger thing. Should you do it everyday before bd or just once per cycle? I dont want to increase my chances of a boy but I just want to increase my chances period!

Fluterby- I didn't get a new vehicle....but I sure would like one..lol

 

[FaithHopeLove]

Adanma- Congrats on your new van!
Faith- Congrats on your + opk! I hope you catch the egg!
Fam6- I hope you get your !
Navy- I hope your test come back normal from the doctors office and that you get your when you test Sunday! Good luck girl!
Ready- How are you feeling?

I have a crazy question im sure you guys can answer Is it ok to bd everyday starting 10 days from the start of my period? I think that if I do it from the 10th day to the 16th I will have def. caught it lol or will doing this make each days sperm count less? Im sure this is something i should know but I just dont lol.

Momma, I just read up on this as I was curious too. From what I read, bd'ing every other day is best for those with lower sperm count. If dh has normal count, doing it everyday increases your chance of getting preggo. The more you bd..the better your chances are of conceiving. I can't remember which site I read this on..sorry! (if I come across it again, I'll post it) Anyway, I would say GO FOR IT

 

[fluterby429]

LOL sorry Navy...I don't know where I thought I read that. I'm trying to play soo much catch up since I have my mom's laptop.

Oh yea I do have a ? about the bd everyother day thing. My DH has a high sperm count and and high motility so we don't have issues there. But when he gets home is gonna wanna dtd everyday if not more than once a day. If I say we can only do it everyother day he is gonna freak out on me.

Do you use OPKs? I have been and it lets me know around the time I would normally ovulate. You are fertile at a MAX of 5 days prior to and day of ovulation and you can count the day after for a total of 6 fertile days. If you take OPKs, it would help you to guess when your fertile time will be...and not stress about BDing every single day...unless you just want to, LOL.

Hello ladies,

Saga, You seem to have a great doc.

Flutter, that is good info about the tubes. Thanks for sharing. And that was Adanma that got a new van. The baking soda should be used once per cycle. I think I used it on "O" day.

TTC, I am feeling well just very sleepy.

Momma, I went with every other day until I ovulated then you can go everyday.

Adanma, how are you doing?

Super, are you getting ready for the in laws?

Sorry for anyone I missed.

Afm, nothing to report just very sleep now. Went home last night ate and was within like an hour.

Ready, this is exactly what my doctor said...and I do have a great one. I am never left with any questions...and they ALWAYS have time to talk and answer as many questions as you have. I wish everyone could have the same experience.

BUT, he said every other day until positive OPK and then every day. More than once if you want! Also, he said that the more I get familiar with my cycle and can anticipate ovulation, that we can up it to every day a day or two before I know I will ovulate...

Thanks guys I ovulated 12 or 13 days past the start of my period last month (I think anyways lol I poas and got the double line on day 12 or 13) Does that mean I O on that day or around that day?

Normally you ovualted 12-36 hours from the + OPK. I took one until I know longer had a + reading.

Thanks so much! obviously I needed the advice lol

 

[Adanma]

wow I really need to get in here more often! I feel like there is so much to catch up on! That's cool about the tube lengths I had no idea! Our bodies are truly amazing things. Just popping in to say I'm thinking of you all and fx for everyone this year ttc and preggo alike! Gotta get back to my grocery list and coupons. Try to be on later, but it's date night so I may not be on til tomorrow.

Okay I'm confused!!! My bleeding has gone from spotting to very light bleed to spotting/almost nothing again...having tugs and pulling and had a couple AF like cramps. So do I count this as CD1 ???? Spotting is still dark red

 

[angelcake71]

Sagapo your doc sounds lovely.. mine is ok but not great

 

[angelcake71]

not sure Navy hun xx

 

[famof6]

Navy,I don't know either.I would say yes since you did have some flow,but maybe some of the other ladies will chime in.

Me too.

I start testing on day 9 and usually you can hardly even SEE a second line. And then I noticed two or three days before I get a positive, the line gets progressively darker...which I guess means LH is building up and would be good days to BD as well...and then when I get a positive, I also keep testing until it is no longer positive. In December, I got a positive OPK on the morning of the 29th (CD13) and then on the morning of the 30th (CD14), it was already negative. I did have lower back pain on CD14, so I am pretty sure I ovulated on that day...and then I chart too, and my temps rose the next day, so it is very likely that I did. The cycle before, I had an OPK+ on one day and also the following two before it was negative...

I know this probably makes me a weirdo, but in a way...the testing is kind of interesting. It's like a science experiment...I never knew my body did all the things it does...and I always thought I was very in tune before.

I have a friend who is TTC as well and began trying coincidentally the same month as me. She is charting and using opks as well and she says that it thoroughly stresses her out. So far it isn't stressing me at all...I suppose it will though if my TTC journey is a long one...

If this month is not my month, I will definitely be trying the baking soda thing next cycle....

Okay I'm confused!!! My bleeding has gone from spotting to very light bleed to spotting/almost nothing again...having tugs and pulling and had a couple AF like cramps. So do I count this as CD1 ???? Bleeding is still dark red

When I was pregnant with my first child I DID have bright red flow. It was not as heavy as a regular period though, that was the only difference. I had cramps like I usually did and thought it was just a lighter than normal period. I wasn't trying to get pregnant then (I wish is was that easy now) so I did not even figure out I was pregnant until it was time for AF the next month.

It's possible. If you do not have a flow that is as heavy as normal, you could still be pregnant....especially if implantation was later, like 12 days dpo or later.

And now I see what you mean.... Sorry. I don't count it as day one until heavy flow.

 

[Navy2mom]

No this is far from being a normal flow....started spotting this morning then very light bleed and then by afternoon went back to spotting and now nothing!! Having tugs and pulling feeling still not having any more AF like cramps. So then i guess i won't be counting this as CD 1 since it stopped and and that would put me back to CD 29 - 14 DPO!! WOW this very confusing ...my head is a spinning!! Thanks ladies for everything

Thanks for the detailed explination i need it, I think that sound super stressfull the whole thing confuses me I think this month i will just Bd everyday and see how that goes lol Im thinking it cant hurt to do so and at some point I will have to be doing it on the right day
Navy: It really could be preggo or not preggo I have heard of woman getting a super light bleed and find out they are preggo,I have also experienced a super light bleed that stops on the 1st day then the 2nd it's full blown Good luck hun the whole process is supper sucky
