So here I am on CD 10, and I finally started getting EWCM. I say, finally, because last month I got it at CD 8. It is weird that I get it so early, some people don't even get it at all. I guess I am lucky, I get plenty of it and I get it for a whole week. I really don't think that it makes me more fertile though obviously.
Actually, to be honest, I am not sure on that front lately. I have been thinking about this a lot and I think that I may be pretty fertile. Firstly it would make sense, my mother has 6 kids, lol. I mean I have good cycles, they are consistent, almost text book in length, 28-31 days. I have a nice long LP, 14-15 days. I can feel when I O, so I know that I am, and my AF is a standard 4 days long. Given all of this and add in my plentiful EWCM I really do think that I am in good shape.
I am really starting to think that it may be a problem with my poor DH. He had a physical about 4 months ago and found out that he had severly low testosterone. They started giving him monthly testosterone injections to boost his levels, and gave him testosterone cream to keep his levels up. Since testosterone directly affects sperm production I think it is safe to say that there is a strong possibility that he may well have a low sperm count.
If this is the case it could be really bad news for us. I mean if it was a problem with me I would be more then willing to deal with it but my DH is not so willing. With his infuriating "what will be will be" attitude I don't think he'd be willing to try much to help the situation.
So now I am trying to think what I can do to help us conceive with that in mind. I am considering doing the EOD approach but i am scared that it will reduce my chances. Arrrg, I am so confused!!!

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI know this sounds like a stupid question, but have you tried an OPK? I too am 29 and just started trying to conceive, month #4. I will also be 30 (atleast) if and when I conceive. My cycles are all over the place because I'm very active, always have been. I did an OPK this month and it seems to be working so far... We'll see.. Good luck, I just joined baby center and saw your post. :)
why not do EOD starting with your first EWCM day and then ED once you get your first Pos OPK or when you feel your O..
ReplyDeleteso day 10, day 12, day 14...and then when you feel you o, and then the day after.
hm...
or... how about wait until the day before you think you will o, and then do it every day until you are sure you have.....so he stores it up for at least a couple days.
all of this is just me brainstorming on something i know nothing about.
but also.....it took my DH and i 4 months of really trying each month before we got a BFP. and we were doing everything "right". and now...since the MC....we do this stupid half asked every once in awhile crap that is not working AT ALL. not in 8 MONTHS.
good luck! i think this is going to be your lucky month...
:)
