On cycle 3 trying for #1 - If we are unsuccessful this month, TTGP will be on hold until I get a visa to move to the UK, as my husband is going home next week.
When I was younger (18 years ago) trying once was enough and I experienced one miscarriage and two healthy pregnancies. Now Seth is 17 and Claire is 15 years old. Here I am 18 years later and we're working on our first month trying. After one month of not preventing has proven unsuccessful. I have gone to see a fertility specialist and my folicals and eggs are still producing like a teenager. So, hopefully we will be successful this month and have a May due date! Try the ovulation microscope (saliva test) It has always worked for us in the past. I just ordered one that should be delivered any minute now. I used to be a bit obsessive when trying to conceive. So, I calendared my temp and saliva results every a.m. Before getting out of bed; recorded my wake up weight before getting in the shower; Started the vitamins and working out adjusted our diet etc. at least three months before officially "trying". Call it age and laziness. But that hasn't been my actions this time LOL! I believe careful planning (gathering of all the info) and playful partner games is the best recipe for baby Good Luck you will be in my thoughts and prayers! |)
Well shit, I knew I was missing something these last 18 months. FFS
