TTC After a Loss

Ladies who are currently KU.. (WIDD)

I am determined this cycle.. my bf says i need to stop concentrating so much on it and let it happen.. but i really dont think that is a possibility!

Will you ladies please share your WIDD!?

Re: Ladies who are currently KU.. (WIDD)

  • - drank green tea every morning from CD1 through O day

    - used OPKs starting on CD10 through getting a positive result

    - once I got even a light line on the OPK, we BD every day until after the line darkened for a positive and then one more day or so until the line disappeared

    - of course after BD, stayed horizontal for like 30 minutes with hips elevated

    - **TMI ALERT** I didn't orgasm during BD, I waited until after, while horizontal (I heard this will help pull the swimmers in further)

    I can't think of anything extra that I did, that just about covers it.  I hope that it helps you.  Smile

  • I didn't do too much differently as I was never charting/temping etc.  I turned off a switch in my head though- I told myself that it's no big deal- if I get a bfn then onto the next cycle- keep moving forward- as long as I am moving forward I will be okay.  In the BD dept- from CD 10-21 we did it either every other day or every day- so I thought even without opks it was a sure fire way to work! Then I waited for AF to actually be late to poas.  GL!

  • I did pretty much everything. My motto was, "if it doesn't HURT, why the hell not"

    1. 2 cups green tea (decaf after O)

    2. 8 oz. POM juice every day (diluted with sparkling water)

    3. Chart/temp

    4. (Don't judge me, I copied MO815) Threw DH a bone, waxed the goodies, got porn and an new vibe for me... and like pp said I made sure I O'ed every time (before DH though) which I didn't often during other FWP weeks.

    5. Accupuncture - this is the other thing that I think really helped me. I tried for a year the first preg. Did accupuncture for 2 months and finally got my BFP... after m/c - again, just two cycles in I got a BFP using accupunture.

    I think the only thing I didn't do was the muscinex (sp?) cause green tea did the CM trick for me.

  • I was on Clomid this cycle.  So I don't know if I count.

    But this was my first cycle temping.  And it's a good thing I did.  I ended up O'ing late, and would never have known if I didn't see the jump in temp!

    That's what worked for me. Now I'm praying it's a sticky one!

    Good luck!

  • I temped and charted and used OPKs but most importantly, we BD every day from CD 10-31 (I had long cycles and didn't know when I'd O).  CD 31 was 2 days after my temp spike.  It got a bit tedious, but seriously, do it and hang in there!

  • Please don't listen to your friend unless you already believe it yourself. She does not understand your frustration and you are entitled to take charge of your fertility if you feel it is right.

    Here is my WIDD post. I had an interesting month, being "on a break" and sick. GL with everything. I hope to see you on SAL soon!

    Here is the usual:

    1. Prenatal vitamin
    2. Pre~Seed
    3. Hips propped up after sex for 30 min

    Here is what was different: 

    1. I had my HSG on Aug 27th so I was technically in that "fertile" window
    2. DH was in charge of BD. I printed out a calendar and marked CD 1. He initiated sex and I was told not to worry about charting.
    3. I caved and POA OPK the day I was surging. I POA OPK again the following morning to confirm it was neg.
    4. I was sick with the cold/flu during O week. I took large amounts of various cold medicines (Tylenol, Nyquil, Robitussin CM). I switched to reg Robitussin once I saw the + OPK. 
    5. Our BD schedule was once the night of +OPK and once the next night it was neg. I was deathly sick during BD - so bad I was trying not to cough on DH while he was on top.
    6. Tip from Alice: DH stayed inside for 1 min after
    7. And most important of all....I had an orgasm after DH finished both times. Worked for me and Mrs. I highly suggest it.  
    One last thing. We were praying so hard for the last 20+ months and it finally wore me out. A friend told me that her prayer group was praying for me at church. I told DH I was done asking God for help, that I was going to let everyone else's prayers for us be enough.

    And there you have it. After 12 long months, Kelly got KU doing all these crazy things.
    02/08 BFP resulted in m/c 4/10/08 (11 weeks)
    10/08 Clomid Cycle #1 = m/c 11/7/08 (6 weeks)
    03/09 Clomid Cycle #2 = BFN
    3 rounds of Femara + Ovidrel + IUI =BFN
    10/18/09 2nd Break Cycle (post HSG) before IVF #1 = BFP!

    ? The world thought I had it all, but I was waiting for you. ?

  • FWP everyday through cycle day 7-28 and propped hips after for 10-30min.  I also took prenatal vitamins.  Good luck!
