Trying to Conceive - July 2007

I have two boys; a 3 year old and a 1 year old. And I would like to have at least 3 more kids... I know call me Crazy! My husband on the other hand is satisfied with our two boys, but has agreed on one more. I am praying for a little girl. Because if this is my last chance I would like to balance out the testostrone levels out in our house. Is there a trick to having a girl? Better yet since this is my last chance to have any more babies...is there a trick or method of having twins? I heard that eating Yams helps. I've also heard that being older increases your chances of having twins, I'm only 23 though so I need other options!! Thanks!!

I'm sorta new to the temperature tracking. I know that once you have 3 elevated temps in a row that you can be pretty sure that you've ovulated. I have read that some women have a drop in temperature first, before their temperatures rise. Well today my temperature took a big drop, and I got a positive ovulation test today. Assuming that my temps go up tomorrow, what day would I have ovulated on? Thank you.

My nipples are sore to touch, having mild period like cramping and I'm 3DPO. Before you ask, yes I did get a positive OPK and I already had sharp pains in my right ovary. So what do you think about my odd symptoms??

I have been trying to concieve for a while now. On the 18th of june I had unprotected sex. My b/f says he didnt get off, but we allknow how that goes. Scince then I havent had a period (which usually comes on the 25th). I took a at home pregnanct test on the 23 and another on the 26. Both neggative. Did i possibly test too soon?

I havent had any SEVERE symptoms of obvious pregnancy just slightly nausiated (never lasting longer than 5 min.) Numbness of my feet (they tend to fall asleep for no reason) excessive urination, and trouble doing the number 2 if you know what I mean.

Is it possible that I am pregnant? Or could my period be skipping for other reasons??

I have been taking clomid for 3 cycles. This last cycle they put me on 100mg instead of 50 mg. My level was within normal range last month but at the low end. This month they told me my progesterone level was 0.9 and they want me at 20. Has anyone ever heard of such a low level on a test that was done on CD21? I can't find anything like it anywhere on the net. Even for people with advanced fertility issues.
Also, from what I have read when you have low progesterone you should have a shorter menstrual cycle and last month I was given provera to start my period because it never came. I assumed this month my period would come sooner because the level was so low and I am on CD33 with no period. Anyone have any ideas on why that may be occuring?
Any help is appreciated!!!! Thank you!!!!

I missarried my first baby two days ago (on 4th of July) I was only 4 weeks pregnant. My husband took it really hard, and although I am disspointed and sad I would like to start trying again asap!! My husband is still very devistated! This morning he was sitting on the couch quietly crying and I felt heartbroken!!
I feel like it is all my fault!
and I want to try again! this time I will eat everything I am supposed to and make sure I walk slower and take more care of the situation!!

Am I wrong for wanting to start again so soon!!
He wants to wait a few months, but I dont!!

Hi everyone,

Now that AF is out of the way, I'm looking toward plotting ovulation and fertile days. I plan to use my OPK (Clear Blue Easy) likely tomorrow which would be Day 10 of my cycle, since lmp was June 28, and before that, May 29.

I also plan to monitor CM, too.

Any advice/thoughts on my likely fertile time? My periods come, generally, every 28-31 days.

Thanks so much for your help!

Can anyone give me any advise on embarking on IVF. TTC for a year without success so went for tests at Fertility Clinic. My husband has a good sperm count but low motility following a vacectomy reversal last year. I have a slightly high FSH which may be causing me to produce poor quality eggs. We have had our consultation at the clinic and they have told us we can start treatment at the end of the month. The treatment will be IVF with ICSI and I will have an increase dose of drugs for my high FSH. (I dont think it is mega high but borderline). Has anyone gone through this and what are our chances of success. We have already made a decision that if it doesnt work first time around, we will have one more attempt with the frozen eggs taken the first time. We only have to pay a nominal amount for this attempt as all the work and consultation would have been done the first time. Any help and advise would be appreciated. x

I have already taken 6 pregnancy test since March. My period is very irregular and I haven't had my period since may 6th(the beginning of my cycle). My fiance and I are worried that I might not be able to become preganant. He had a test done to make sure that he wasn't sterile(sp?), and the doctor told him that he had a high sperm count. I do happen to drink caffene(sp?). My period was mildly irregular before I went on birth control pills about 9 months ago. My gyn took me off of them about 3 months ago, and I haven't had a period since. I'm not even sure If I'm ovulating. I'm going to make me an appointment with my gyn just as soon as I can.

Thanks in Advance

My husband and I had sex last night and we used a condom. He came inside of me while he still had the condom on. He was inside of me for almost a minute and he had lost his erection. When he was about to get up he said "Hold up, it's about to come out" (the sperm) and he quickly got up. I'm really hoping and praying that no sperm came out of the top. I'm trusting that he got up before it leaked out the top. I believe he did and I don't think that I'm pregnant but there's always that "what if". I have 3 year old twins already and I'm really not ready for another child. But anyways, could the sperm have leaked before he realized?

I have a very irregular period eversince. I always end up hoping I am pregnant but end up frustrated. I'm 25 and I really wanted kids with my husband, we've been married for almost 3 years no with almost 2 years trying. I suspect that I am PCOS. I am afraid to have transv and I wanted to try metformin. I read that I can take it for 4 weeks, 3 times a day with 500mg. Do you think I should give it a go or not? thanks!

I took a hpt in April after having an abnormally light period. It came up faint +. Six weeks later I thought I had a miscarriage. I didn't bleed a lot except in the beginning and passed a long lumpy clot. Two weeks later another pregnancy test, another faint +. Now it doesn't look like I will get my period and my stomach is a bit bigger and rounder and the veins in my chest are more noticable. I got let go from my job and can't afford a doctor. I need to see one, but what could he do for me?

I was on the pill for 4 consecutive years, and have been off more 4 months now, and TTC for the last 2 months with no luck. Is there a chance that being on the pill for so long is keeping me from getting pregnant?

I am in my 2 week wait (about 5 days away from expected AF). All I do is think, am I or not preggers...... I already POS twice & got BFN, but I know its too early.

Does anyone know what I can do to get my mind off this for at least another week. Any advice or suggestions on how to distract me would be great!!
I need real advice please, no rude answers.

Thanks.
