Hi Rae! Today is CD4 for me. I hear ya with your "sperm releasing" plan. LOL I'm planning to help out my DH in this department as well. He's due for an SA on Sept 16th. I'm just hoping I don't ovulate during the time we're supposed to be abstaining. That would be a bummer!

For all of us that started AF this week, this is the thread for you!!!! Lot to compare what's going on with you all and the other threads were getting long.
Taking advantage of not being pregnant by trying to drop a few pounds currently.
I am CD3 already, so moving right along!!! Ok now for the TMI part, according to sperm meets egg plan you have to "release sperm" at least once between ovulation and new cd8. Oh my, I am learning so much. No more than 10 days should elapse without new sperm production to keep it fresh!!! Gotta say I'm not really looking forward to releasing any sperm within the next couple of days but ya gotta do what ya gotta do!!!!
BABYDUST, this time round girls, BFP's!!!!

Good Luck this cycle everyone of you.
Katie-It's not over til it's over. You know that. It would be so great if this was it for you. I know you're not feeling really positive this time but you never know.
KCS-DH and I had the same concerns when he had his SA, fortunately he was just given a script and was able to go to the lab whenever. We did bump it a few days for the one (he had 2) because I was ovulating and wasn't willing to miss the opportunity!!!
Virgie- I don't have a problem with the OPK's at all. It's so nice to just know exactly when you are O'ing. I've been using them since Feb and buy the store brand cheapies. Never had a problem. I know some people prefer the digital because they find the others more confusing but I've always found the regular type good and reliable. You do get 2 lines but it's pretty clear.
Bunny- Good Luck with the Clomid. I will be anxious to hear how that goes for you. I've only had one visit with RE and DH and I are still deciding whether we will move further and try meds and what not. Of course Clomid was one of the first things that she mentioned. She also mentioned that I would not be able to take it for more than 3 cycles due to my mothers ovarian cancer (I think my age, the age when my mom died, and cysts all play a role in that) That is what is holding us back.

Well, AF is over now. CD5 for me, just one dose of 100 mg Clomid to go. Good Lord! These hot flashes are killing me! LOL Christi, you've always wanted a July baby? Any month would be good enough for me. heh heh
We really need to come up with a name for the time leading up to ovulation. There are so many for the post ovulation time (2WW, DPO). Any ideas?

Hi Girls,
I just want to wish you all the luck in the world this cycle!!! Unfortunately I am off of the ttc rollercoaster for a few months because of a pap smear scare I got a few days ago :( so I have to get that sorted out first. God willing I can try again in a few months.
..so I'm giving a present of all my baby dust to you girls and I will be checking in on you all to see how many BFP's you got..
Good luck and hugs

CD28 here & I have been spotting for about 3 days now but no full flow. A regular 28 day cycle is unusual for me, usually about 32 or 35 days is the norm. But then again, nothing about my cycles has been normal the past 6 months, lol. I'm sure I will be joining you ladies any day now as we have not done much BD'ing with everything going on w/DH's health scare, so def not holding out hope-especially with the spotting.
Katie-how are you? Did you decide if you will continue with the clomid if no BFP this cycle?
Good luck ReaH & all you other ladies-hope to see some BFP's from this thread!

Rae-I think you are very smart to focus on something besides TTC. My goal is to join a gym and even considered weight watchers. Just to help me portion size better. I hope the weight loss plan is working.
Katie-hoping AF stays away for you this month. You have a few days left and hoping you get your BFP.
KCS-hoping you do not ovulate when you have to have DHs SA. Good Luck. I would think if you feel like you are ovulating you can reschedule it. I get the severe hot flashes with clomid too. I love the ETE idea-lol.
Virgie-I use the regular OPKs too. A lot of ppl like the digitals bc the 2 lines can be confusing. But the lines do not bother me. I am hoping it works for you.
Rae-I hope the clomid works too. This is my 3rd round of it. After this we are having an exp lap. Not wanting to do that. I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I do not blame the docs for being extra careful with you. Maybe there is something else they can try with you to at least avoid the increases chances.
Missy-GOOD LUCK…See you are Oing soon.
TTC-Stay away AF…hoping for BFP.
Chrissy-hope the clomid is treating you okay. I am hoping you get a June baby. Are you having any side effects yet?
Christine-I am sorry about the pap smear scare. I hope everything is okay.
Wendy-hope you get your BFP despite spotting.
Okay hope I did not forget anyone. I know this is long but wanted to make sure I got all of you.
