SU/MSU Experimenters Buddy Group-July 2009

PurpleDream:

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!  I had to check in real quick before my mil gets here.  I hope everyone is doing great! 

I did make the adjustments to the top Rachel....I'm so sorry that I forgot to add those details to you and anna bell...thanks for letting me know. 

On a side note, can someone look at my chart?  I'm a little curious as to what is going on.  I had a dip below the coverline?!  I have no idea why it would do that, especially that early in my 2ww?  I am confused...so if anyone knows why, I would greatly appreciate the help.  TIA! 

i'm heading out the door for the day, but wanted to say that looks like an implantation dip

PD...we nailed 0+12 also and had a cut-off too AND your attempt sounds like my LIFE!!!  That is exactly how it was for me!!!  The minute incubation time was over....BAM the babies woke up from their naps!!!  I was like "NO"!!!!!  The second attempt on 0+12...only had a couple of hours before we had to meet friends for plans that we had....I was thinking...Gosh I wish O could be timed better...then If I knew exactly weeks in advance the exact time, moment, then I would clear our schedule for days!!!!!!  Oh well, I used the Diva cup...hope that helped me out a little bit!!!  I also took my meter (ha ha) and replens just in case I needed it!!  I did have my ph go up to 4.7, but I ate craisins and when I checked again it was 4.1!!!!  Yikes!!!  Hope I was not too low!!!!  There has got to be a girly in there that survived!!!!  Hey does anyone notice that dh's spermies look more like circle swimmers after they have been on LR for awhile!!!  I swear my dh's semen under the scope are not crowded and I see circle swimmers EVERYWHERE!!!!  I still see straight arrow swimmers, but ALOT of dizzy swimmers!!!!  Is that just in my head????

Good luck ladies!!!!!!  I just wanted to say that also after my attempts I sat at the pool (DID NOT GO IN) in the sun next to the fern plant and let my swimmers swim out of the diva cup (that they fell in after insertion).  Is that good on the ions??  It is still a new moon too!!!  C'mon summer spermy....make that little girl in there!!!!!

There is still hope babyBobadoo!!! Don't worry yet!

PD and Luv, good luck girls!

Luvr4boyz~ I know!  There is never a minute of peace in our house, especially when the kids are up.  I only have 2 that take naps & the older one doesn't take a long nap at all anymore!   I know that some say that I should be happy that he's still taking a nap at 4...but he NEEDS the sleep.  He has been so cranky lately since he's not been getting enough sleep. kwim?

That is kind of what I was thinking but wasn't sure...and, I had another low temp today.  Could it still be that?  I know that my times for taking my temp is not off...so, it has to be whatever is going on with my body.  What do you think, Tamara? 

oh wow, thats odd.  I dont know

  I don't feel as bad now since you don't know what's going on either.  I know that I have read somewhere, can't remember the location, that some times it takes awhile for the baby to implant...could that be it?  Or could I have having a progesterone problem all of a sudden?  I have never had that issue before...just throwing out ideas. 

i dont know, my guess was maybe progesgerone, but i dont know..

hay ladies please read my post on how to pasteurize your own eggs

Tamara:

I wonder if pasteurize eggs will float better???

P eggs is what I use.  My thought pattern is that it would be MUCH cheaper for me to make my own P eggs than buy them.  Around me, P eggs usually cost around $3.50-4.00 each carton.   I can get regular eggs for $.87 a carton. 

Thank you ladies for your kind words and encouragment but I think that AF is just around the corner.... 

I just wish that there was something that I was doing wrong that I could fix and do differently next time.  I am at a loss as to what is going wrong.  FF says that I ovulated around the time that we did SU.  Maybe it is the lime, I know that DHs swimmers are really sensitive maybe that is killing them off???  I made two attempts the first, my pH stayed nicely below five, the second what was in the cup my first douche was 3!!!  I am thinking this may have been a problem but who knows!?

I practiced last night with the mesh thinking that I may want to try something different just to see but that was a bust all of the EW soaked into the mesh. 

This is so frustrating I just wish there was a way to tell what I am doing wrong.

I am so sorry babybobadoo. I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Your attempt sounds really good!

When I did the mesh the ew soaked into the mesh but did not sink. Did yours sink??

After you use lime do the sperms turn black? Why don't you do an experiment with lime to see if they wake up after 30-45 minutes?

Ph below 3 could have killed them.

Have you seen my photos for using mesh in the photo gallery? It works ok - the only way I have ever got a good float. Let me know if need any help with it!! FX and stay positive
