Wow......has everyone gone into hibernation??????

Hayley : Andy is right, you can still fall pregnant before next AF, it's just difficult to know when you ov. So either you BD every 2nd day from now until AF arrives, or you wait until after AF to "time" your BD'ing.

Andy : Nope, OPK was way lighter than the previous nights, so I have ZERO idea what the hell is going on.
I'm now passed being sad about it...I'm irritated & angry. If I was ovulating ok on my own WITHOUT drugs, WHY on a freekin 100mg dose am I suddenly NOT ovulating?!?!?!
I know it can change my cycle slightly, as I took them later than I used to (Doc said CD5-9 now), so I might ovulate later than I used to too.....but still, even the pains aren't what they usually are :( :( :( I'm sooooo misserable about it all now......

Anyway...have to finish month end.
Will catch up later when I can...
xxxxxxx

Morning Ladies,

Gosh, but its quite in here!!! Where are you all??? :)

Elamsmom, welcome to the thread... :) So when you planning to try for no. 2?

As for the SMEP, Strikkie summed it up for you, thanx Strikkie :)

Tracy, i hear what you saying :) But in all honesty, i dont think anything is wrong with hubby either, i think it all boils down to not the right time...

With the previous SA in March 2009, it was low bearing in mind before we got those results back we find out in April 2009 we were pregnant with Liam. So the Dr wasnt concerned at all and we took that report to Dr Hogewind and he seemed like he was not worried either but in the same breath, being it so long since that SA, the sperm might have deteriorated (spelling???) over the last 2 years.... But we shall see when we get the results back. :)

Andy, Strikkie, 2kidmamma, Mandy, Claire, Ika, SexyHexy, Tanz how you ladies doing????

Yay, Yay!!!! Its payday :laugh: I love payday

Hi Ladies!!

Tracy, FX that your OPK is darker today. It's probabaly just all the pumping hormones through your body that made you cry ;) Anyway, luckily it's the weekend, so you can BD as much as you want when you get that +OPK this evening!!

Hayley, did your doc not do a D&C as well when he did the lap? I thought they sommer did that at the same time always... Because if he did, then you won't get AF this month and you have a very good chance of falling pregnant BEFORE you get another AF.

Ika, glad to hear everything seems to be working out for you guys!! That has to be a sign though, huh? I know this will be your month.

Tanz, I have received one or two e-mails from you but I'm so busy at work, I don't really have time to send anything back. Sorry!! :blush:

Hello to everyone else. IT'S THE WEEKEND BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, hellllooo ladies!!!

Quick one again, month end is HECTIC HECTIC HECTIC!!!

Hayley : Just bear in mind you might need to modify that SMEP to suit your DH's SA.
If he is still out a little on the readings, it is BAD to BD every night. It then requires every second night only, in order to build up the reserves more...

Ika : YAY!! Really happy to hear it seems to be working out for you!!!!!!! Wooohoooooo!!!!! I was worried man!!!

Oi, all the other ladies, HI!!! Sorry, have to go quick here...

AFM : Well, I had a good cry last night. My OPK was still negative, and it's always much darker by CD12 on my previous cycles. So I was very depro and SURE I wasn't going to ov.
Then this morning, I started with ov pains...SOOOOO, I'm REALLY hoping today's OPK is darker for me!!!!!!!
Poor DH, he felt so sorry for me.....trust the emotions to take over!
So we didn't BD last night, as I felt it would be better to keep the every day BD'ing for the day of, and days after, I get my +OPK.
So please please fxfxfxfx my OPK is darker today!!!

Have an AWSOME day ladies!!!!!!!!!!!
:kiss:

Wow, had no idea "the plan" was so detailed!

Well, I'm sure your DH's walk around @ work whistling happy tunes cos of all the BD'ing :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: That amount of BD is like a man's dream come true!

But I can imagine it might (sometimes) take some of the fun out of it if u doing it by the clock purely for TTC.

I recently donated eggs/follies(not sure of the exact term) to someone who REALLY desperately wanted a baby. They have a grown son, about 14 yrs old and they "forgot" to have a second one and lady is now 41yrs old. Anyway, so went through the whole process of GonalF injections and trigger injections (*ouch*) and the op to have the eggs extracted. They fertilized perfectly with her hubby's sperm and they were planted in her uterus(i think) but a few days later she started having cramps and bleeding etc so I assume her body "rejected" the embryo's. :( :(

I think that process is possibly what made me more sensitive to TTC and taught me not to take the ability to conceive easily for granted...

Anyway, happy TTC'ing to everyone.
