SU/MSU Experimenters Buddy Group Oct. 2009

L4Bs - I hope you get that BFP before Jan - I hope we all do as this is NOT a easy path to follow. My attempt was NOT how I wanted it work out either - just have to have faith it was enought. FX your hubby continues to support you for the next few months xxx

Hopeful - Wow congratulations!!!! I am not sure when your O date was but Sunday sounds possible? Congratulations again and let us know how you get on.FX for a H&H 9 months

Thanks maybe!!!!  I hope so too!!!

OMG Hopeful!!!!  Yeah...I am so excited for you!!!  This is great news!!!  Creamy cm is good!!!  What was your ph?  Did you do TBM?  I might have missed your attempt...sorry!!  How exciting!!  Congrats and here is to your H&H 9 months!!!

 Congratulations hopeful!! x

Has anyone any ideas as really really struggling with Su. Wanted to do it so much but can't get it to work. Thought it had worked last pm when DH took sudafed and we used mesh, it looked promising, floated but when took it out incubator all looked mixed and no swimmers in top of sample. Really think will have to just do tbm but scared to reduce my chances of a girl.

Are most of you all doing Su or just tbm with all of the other factors aswell?

Is anyone else having this problem?

Did it mix completly? Its more normal for it just to sink. How long did you leave it for? Did you use thick EW?

Thanks maybebabythree and L4B!  I was leaning toward super early sunday morning.  When it's already turned to creamy though, does that mean O was 12 hours earlier.  So at 10am it was creamy, so would that mean I O 10pm the night before or so?  My cervix was still medium soft and still little CM sunday night and that's what throws me off....just trying to figure out which one was the "one". 

So, L4B, the pH always when I stuck the probe in me was in the low 4's, on the finger it got up to 5.2 on O day and right at 5 the two days before.  On the cut-off day which i think was 3.75 days before O,  I added lime after 3 hours to what was in the Diva cup and brought it down to 4.2  My pH was already really low, that's why I didn't add earlier, plus I was concerned about such a long cut-off.  Kept Diva cup in all day until that night and it stayed low.  Did notice a small amount of EW around 2pm about 6 hours later for the first time in the Diva, but splime was still 4.2...Oh I hope this attempt swayed enough..any thoughts?

CONGRATULATIONS hopefull!  I am so happy for you!

western~ You are so close...don't give up now! When I could get it to float and then it would mix in the incubator was right before I started getting the ew to float. Keep your dh eating those natural sugars!  It will help you! I am doing SU using the diva cup but am wondering if I might do the tbm this month & then put in the diva to keep things in there....I am not sure at this point in time what I am definitely doing....that really didn't help you much, did it?  Sorry.

I think when you see CM shift from EW to creamy thats o+12. However i never get a shift that obvious. So in your case you would have o'd around 10pm the night before but I am not sure how accurate you can be with the exact hour - just it was around that time I would guess

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS Hopeful!!!!!! yay!!! Praying for a very happy and healthy pink 9 months for you. xx

maybebabythree, I was thinking that too, so 10pm the night before would mean I didn't get O+12 but did get a 3.75 day cut-off.  That's cool.

Thanks Anna Bell, PurpleDream so much!  I have learned so much from you guys and am throwing lots of pink dust your way!!!! You deserve it for all your hard work!

Alright, I have a question. I found out this morning that pre seed sways blue. What lubes are out there, other than sylk & canola oil, that I could use?  Some of the research that I found said that canola doesn't help or hinder them, just keeps things lubricated. I'm trying to find something that helps them move along since I am getting so dry from the lime (really wondering if that's part of the reason why I'm not getting pg). 

I'm trying to gear up my plan for my next attempt in a week.  I will O on cd 15 or 16 (at least, that's what it looks like right now) which is Wednesday or Thursday!  yeah!  I'm in a new moon still, but just barely.  I am going to see my dr on Nov 3rd. I just have a gut feeling that something is off with my hormones again. I had trouble getting pg with ds2 and it feels like the same thing is going on. We'll see what the dr says. 

Also, I updated the first page. If I have someone's information incorrect or have missed something, please let me know. I was trying to get it current.  Is there anyone else that has gotten pg with MSU or SU that I missed?  Tamara, I didn't know the exact date your ds was born...if you want the exact date, just let me know and I'll change it.

hopefull~ You're so sweet.  Thank you.  I wish you a H&H 9 months!

I would use canola oil

Totally going to cry ladies....I knew I felt like something was going on.  I have creamy cm off and on, right but then today OMG I have the worst soreness again in my womb area.  Well, tonight it has gotten worse and worse, like during O time.  So, I decided again just to take an OPK, just in case. Well, it is positive!!!  How the hell do I have a + tonight...and it is so positive, when I got a positive last Friday nigh? Now a week later I get another positive!!  What the heck is going on?  Should I make another attempt?  My last attempt was Monday.....what should I do?  My cervix is medium height....I cannot believe this is happening to me right now!!!  I am just scared that I am Oing again and then if I make an attempt and then I am already pregnant, but dont know it, and end up with two babies like that lady on the news did!!!  Gosh, everything was going so right until now!!!

 Luvr4boyz, how strange. Could it be that you're pg already and the OPK shows positive because of that? Hope so :) 

 Congrats to Hopefull, I keep FX that your little girl is on the way! 

 I'm on 2WW now. Had my attempt last night and I was happy with it. I kept the sample in incubator for 70 minutes and there was a lot of swimming sperm in both layers. Not sure if the layers looked any different to me but it is hard to tell. I'm not sure of the timing though, I thought it was o+12 but I expected my temp to rise this morning and it didn't  I had positive OPK on Thursday afternoon and Friday. Today (Sat) it is already negative, cervix feels hard and cm is creamy so it seems that I have o'ed already. Do the temps always rise right after o?
