SU/MSU Experiments Buddy Group-June 09

Luvr4boyz:

Just wanted to let you all know that I am still in the game...just got a +opk!!!!!  So, it's all about finding an egg that has the right ph!!  Hopefully my eggs out all day will work!!!  So, I am going to dissappear for a while from here!!! 

YAY!! good luck with the attempt Luv!!

GL L4B's . you have a great attempt xx

PD, good job on the list (on page 3). Wow, interesting about mrs COT and the condom and so sad to hear about sprinx3 m/c...

Thanks everyone, I'm doing surprisingly OK even though BFN at 13 dpo. I think knowing that I can start clomid again as soon as AF arrives gives me hope for next cycle. I think we are going to Up the dose a little and might do IUI. Not sure yet. I also feel I have to be strong for DH and DD. DH does not want me to "freak out" so I'm doing my best!

Tamara is right.  I didn't do MSU as the bloody condom broke, lol. If you want to do all that you can stick with the MSU, girls. Good luck with everything and I hope the (M)SU success continues!!

Gosh ladies....everything is going wrong!!!  First my egg ph..which I caliberated my tester to find that the eggs were a little over 9, so it was my tester.  Then I got a great float and I was so happy!!  Saw 4 layers tonight.....then when I looked under the microscope...I saw no movement...a lot dead too...my bottom layer had a couple here and there I saw...but not a whole lot!!!  What did I do ladies?  I should be an expert on this according to my dh!!  What did I do wrong?  Great sort...but a lot dead or not moving!!! I still inserted the bottom layer, there were a few moving!!!  I am exhausted!!!!  I want to do one more, but my dh is having performance anxiety!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!  But NO STRESS!!!

what was your dh pH?  did you keep the temp the same the entire time?  how did you get it to float?

MRS COT:

Mrs. COT, That is a weird twist of fate. I looked at your attempt and your PH was high and you did lots of other factors too. I'm sorry it worked out this way for you, but I hope you find peace with being a mom of girls. It helped me to see all the moms on here who want girls. DH and I do not use a condom, so we avoid that problem, but I guess the volume and quality of the sperm are lower that way. Anyway, good luck with the rest of your Pg and delivery!!! Thanks for checking in with us.

My dh's ph is 7.5....temp was 98.9 or somewhere around there.  Never went over 100 though or under 98.  I don't get it!!!  I left in for 1hr and it was floating so nicely!!!!  I did end up doing another 2 attempts....ph has stayed low all night!!!  So, I am just going to keep an eye on that for another day until I know I am clear!!!   Does it matter anymore now that it has been over 8 hours since last attempt?  Yes right?

what was the egg white pH?

Ew ph was 9.1.

Can I still eat craisins right now?   No cranberry pills, right?  But craisins is okay, right?

Good Luck!!

hmm... could you have accidentally broken off all the sperm tails?

Maybe...I was using a syringe.  I am super slow doing it, but ya never know!!  When I did see the few I did, they were circle swimmers!!  So, whatever happened the X sperm survived it!!  I just wish there had been more!!!

Also My cervix is really playing tricks on me!!!  It went from really soft to hard, back to soft (Not mushy soft) and now back to hard!!!  I know when I am Oing because I am really closed...I can barely check my cervix it is so hard to!!  But, now that it has been soft, then hard, then soft again, my cervix is opening up more...not as hard to get in there.  On a normal basis...very open, so what is going on right now if I am open and hardening back up...am I at the tiail end of Oing or what?  This is weird!!  Also, yesterday a big strip of ewcm came out with my diva cup and I checked ph...it was 4.3!!!!!!!  Yeah...I have been low since.  I did do a few attempts, so i think adding the sperm with lime kept me low.  I did do a small douche right now...I as 5.1, so I just brought it back to 4.2.  I am really boggled by cervix and the dead sperm!!!  Of course if I do end up preggo...you know what I am going to obsess about!!!  Please God.....bring me my healthy baby girl!!!!  Thanks Tamara for your help!!!  Do you know what my cervix is doing?
