I inserted the EW an hour before our attempt and then had an orgasm. DH released his sample directly into the IC, which I then layered with an equal amount of WARMED eggwhite on top. I then went back to the bed to sit upright, where I had 2 more orgasms. Took out the IC and there was barely anything left, tested that pH and it was a 9! I continued to keep my pH up throughout the next day (pH the morning after was still at 8+) I prayed every night for a healthy conception and a healthy baby as a result! |

| Comments? |
|
I did MSU. Had a perfect sort. I used the thinnest part of the egg white, because the thicker parts were too hard to suck into the syringe right. Warmed the egg white in a shot glass that I put in a dish of hot water. Stirred gently with finger to mix it up while it warmed. No problems with it sinking into the sperm. Used my incubator for the incubation process. It is a R-com 20 by Brinsea. I then did a Baking soda douch, then I inserted EW directly on the cervix (not much, or it will leak) then inserted my sort directly on the cervix. Got pregnant on the first try. |
My attempt: http://in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/61064.aspx |
Did supps for 5 months. Propped hips for 40 minutes after attempt. BFP @ 10DPO |

| Comments? |
|
DH still had 2-3 beers a night, so this may have an effect. This was our first attempt since my m/c. |
DH gave me 5mls. Layered semen with 4.5 mls of thick EW. Put in incubator at a 45 degree angle for 1 hour with temp staying between 98-100 degrees but mostly at 99. My TT looked mixed because it was mostly the same color. I checked the top and discarded that. I am not clear on what is super X, Y or X I did not know where the EW ended and sperm began so I just took out 3-3.5 mls and put that in the IC. Did not use SW as I had made 2 attempts before with SW and did not get pregnant. BFP first month on Soy and Tribulus Terrestris. |
On supps for 5 months. On my attempt time I was on antibiotics. I had fake O and tried that day. I know my timing was not perfect but I believe in prayers so still optimistic. |

I intended to do MSU but before the practices it was mixing bad and could not make any difference. So I went with TBM. I did BS finger 1hr before the attempt. Then before inserting the IC I inserted some egg white on the cervix. DH came out directly in IC. Added equal amout of EW on top of it slowly and then inserted the IC, then went to bed had 2-3 big O's. The whole time I was imagining the Y sperm swimming as fast as it could and meeting the egg. Got BFP on 1st try..Now we hope for a healthy boy! |
Followed diet/supplements for 2 months. Praying for a blue bundle. |

Be patient and don't hurry your attempt. We skipped a month because my pH, cm, cervix, opk's were inconsistant. It was hard, but we are so hapy we waited. Next cycle everything said 'go for it. You will get your little boy!!! GL! |
Popped hips up for 4 hours, slept on right side. BSF every 4 hours after attempt until i confired Ovulation with Temps. I was on the diet for 7 month, I took supps for 4 months. Before attempt I took all my supps and had robitussin 1 hr before attempt. I inserted 5m EW with ph 9 before BD and before dh released. |

~ |
Did some elliptical training till O. Also before I got my bfp I took a break for 2 months and worked on losing weight, I lost around 20lbs, but when I got back to the diet I had to put on some weight so I added at least 5lbs back to help raise my pH. Oh yes and DH smokes - acidic, I know Mad Furious Grrrrrrr! Most importantly the major difference that I did this month was that I prayed really really hard this cycle, and Praise to God I got a bfp! One more point is that I had very light bleeding 2 days after the IUI, we did dtd. Embarrassed that night.. when later I called the doctor he said that was normal around ovulation, I got scared could I have ovulated only by then? or could it be a later bleeding?! I don't think that could be implantation as I think it needs at least 6 days to implant! just don't know - Confused Huh? |

I prayed every night for a healthy conception and a healthy baby. Still praying. |
On the day of attempt DH and I took cold showers and DH iced his jewels for 15min and had strong coffee, and I did BSF 1 hour before and inserted EW with a PH of 9+ with an IC, both took Mucinex 1 hr before, took out the IC and DTD with me on top, deep penetration, had Big O before DH released..... inserted IC, propped hips for 1.5 hours and had the IC in for 9-10 hrs. Had cell-phone, my gold jewels on me whole day..Prayed to God that I ovulated and conceived a healthy baby. Still praying everything is ok with the baby and to have a healthy pregnancy. |
Praying and hoping that this did the trick. It would have been good if DH's abstinence had been longer but O took me by surprise. Moon phase was also out but both of my girls were conceived in the full moon phase. |
