FRIDAY TTC POST (who is makin a baby?)
Hi! Sorry I didn't post yesterday... I was stuck on an island! My office took a day trip to Catalina Island for our teambuilding activity... it was so fun!
Anyway, um, I'm not sure if I ever got the +OPK. On the 21st, I got a dark line, but it wasn't quite as dark as the test line. Then, on the 22nd, I took it again at the same time of day, and the line was barely visible.
DH and I did the baby dance on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd, but he was too tired (and sore) to finish on the 21st... the day I got the line. And last night when I got home, I was too tired. *sigh* So, we'll just have to wait and see what happens!
Also, regarding the topic of DH... he's been wanting kids pretty much since the day we met, LOL. So there's no problem there as far as him being ready. However, about a year ago, he was diagnosed with kidney disease. They said he had a lot of protein in his urine, and that the only way to cure it was to go through chemotherapy. Well, that scared the crap out of us because chemo basically makes you sterile, so we sent some of his "genetic material" off to be frozen so that we could do AI or IVF someday. They analyzed his sperm and determined that he had a low count (60 million when normal is 200 million) because he had no protein to make them strong and healthy. But the motility was great.
So, fast forward about 5 months. I insisted that he get a second opinion before going through the chemo. He had a kidney biopsy done, and a whole bunch of tests, and they determined that he DID have kidney disease, but that it was in remission!!!! So he DIDN'T need chemo afterall, thank God! So they told him that he had nothing to worry about, and that even his sperm count should go back up because there was very little protein in his urine this time.
However, we haven't had his sperm re-analyzed since all the drama. So we have no idea if his swimmers are really any good or not. I know that 60 million sperm is still a hell of a lot... especially when it only takes ONE good one who can swim straight. LOL! But, the number he produces automatically cuts our chances by more than half.
So, if we try for a couple of months and nothing happens, I'll probably send him to a male fertility specialist.

Julia ~ I was clomid resistant and never o’d in time. Metformin worked to regulate my cycles…but I had to be on it for about 4 months and higher doses for it to work. Will you move on to injects next?
Honestly, since I have seemed to be regular, and then not. I am now hoping with exercise I will be regular again, and I think I will try all natural for a while. I used an OPK and got a positive the 8th of this month. And like clockwork AF came 16 days later. So I am just hoping that I will get completely regulated and can do this naturally. If not, I will go from there. Today is CD1 for me, or maybe tomorrow will be. My flow is light today......

Hi Shari! I got my BFP on Thursday so I am hoping it is safe for you to remove me fro the TTC list. :)

Shari --- Can you remove me from the ttc list. I think I've had a change of heart. I'm not sure I could handle another LO right now. Matthew is extremely high needs and I don't want to neglect him or a new baby. He currently has tonsillitis and I know there is NO WAY I could function if I had a new baby and him being as sick as he is. So I've cancelled my appt to have my IUD taken out for now.
Thanks!
Best of luck to all the others who are TTC!
