This blog was made to document the journey I took to find our dreamed and prayed for son

The attempt

Right away we began ttc again.  My cycles were as screwy as ever; 38+ days and sometimes not o'ing at all.  All the while we kept at msu.  To me the best sway possible is more important then another baby.  I would rather not have any more kids than not get the best sway out there.  So if it took me years; I would do msu along with the 7 things.  The diet got old fast; but we kept at it never giving up.  I had to find something to fix my cycles so I would at least O.  That when I read about soy in place of clomid.  I tried it and it made me O!  But the first time I got a bfn.  The second cyle on it I got a bfp!  Ok here is my attempt that got us our  boy:

Here I just copy and pasted it..

Ok!  LOl on cycle day 30 I got a +opk- a strong one!.  So this cycle I decided we would do our attempt at night because I think I might be missing O waiting till the next morning.  So as I'm getting things ready my mom calls and says they are going to come up to visit!!!  I told her my house was a mess but they said they didn't' care.  So I stopped planing and went to cleaning my house.  Got it cleaned and had a fun visit.  They left at 8:30 that evening and then I went right back to getting ready.  Dh took a caffeine pill and a musinex tablet and I cracked and separated my pasteurized eggs and also took a musinex tablet.  I did 2 eggs and their pH was 9.5.  I slightly beat them so they were more runny. I took them down stairs (our bedroom is down stairs) and turned on the hot water int he bathroom.  Then I sent the eggs (in a container) in the warm water to warm the eggs up.  then I cleaned the counter so I had a lot of space and took out my incubator our of the cupboard.  I plugged it in so it would warm up.  I took out my microscope and all the syringes (8 I think).  I set out the test tube and got the pH strips out to.  Then I tested my cm pH (Ewcm by the way) and it was 7.5.  So I did bs finger to raise the pH.  Then I went back up stairs to help dh put the girls to bed.  Then I went on Ig and ds board till 9:40 lol.  Then dh and I went and got a sample and I sucked it out of the condom and test the pH.  Dh was only a pH of 8 (probably because of the ice cream I let him have) but thats ok because I'm doing msu.  Then I placed the semen in the test tube- it was 3 ml.  Then I took 3 ml of warm egg whites and gently placed it on top of the semen.  Then I placed the test tube in the incubator at a 45* angle.  It sat in there for a hour with me checking on it every now and then to make sure the temp at 99*.  Then after an hour I took out the test tube and sucked off the top 5%.  I looked under the microscope and saw there wasn't' many sperm there so I sucked of another 5% and this time saw the super x swimmers.  I discarded that.  I took a different syringe and sucked up 2 1/2 ml of ew and placed that in my instead cup.  Then I check the semen in the microscope and say the slow swimmers.  Then I took the instead cup and slowly placed it inside me.  Then I went to bed and o'd 4 times lol.  I left in it all night and took it out the next morning.  That morning my temp dipped and then at 4pm my cervix turned hard which means I o'd at 5 am that morning.  So my idea to do an attempt the night before was perfect
