Trying again?

[tripper]

As we continue to travel down this road, dh & I are trying something new. For us, anyways!
We know our issue is low sperm count, motility & morphology. No explanation that we know of, but that's definitely it. So I finally convinced dh to try male fertility vitamins!! I'm so excited: not just because it could work, but because he was willing and continues to be willing to take them! This is a huge step for us in our relationship and our marriage.
On top of that, I've got fertile cm right now and our drives are matching up, so this month is working out well for us so far. Even if we don't get pregnant this month, God is certainly bringing our hearts & our minds into alignment and I'm extremely grateful for that!
Would you pray with me for the next few weeks that God's will would be done as we try this out? That's all I really want: to do and be what God wants for my life, kwim? Thanks friends!

Oh brother... Here goes my head again!

It's ovulation time around here, and I'm having more symptoms and stronger symptoms than I've felt... Recently? Before? Not sure. And SO trying not to get my hopes up!
I'm not exactly sure when I o'd, but we've been bd'ing every 2 days like clockwork and now I'm wondering: 1. Is it even possible to tell if I'm pregnant, like, 2 dpo? And 2. How am I gonna wait out the next 3 wks to find out??

Argh... Good thing work is busy! Otherwise, I'd be driving myself crazy with every little twinge!

Speaking of twinges, here's this cycle's list of symptoms:
- slight nausea
- very tired
- heightened smell
- fullness in pelvic area
- cramps
- pinching feeling (on both sides over the last 3 days!)

I know, I know, don't read into this. Those are all super common symptoms of simple ovulation, not implantation, pregnancy, etc. It's just so HARD not to!

Dh would be ecstatic not to have to take his vitamins any more... He says they give him an upset stomach all morning. He doesn't feel it when he takes them at night cuz he's sleeping. :rolls eyes: Gotta love him!
I know the effects of the vitamins won't be seen for 3 months, but I can hope, right?...

Tonight I'm convinced this is nothing more than basic symptoms of ovulation that next month I'll look back and go, " Yup. Here I go again!"
I'm not sure why I got my hopes up so high so far this cycle. I *know* it takes 3 months for the vitamins to have any effect!

I'm so tired tonight. And frustrated! The outside of my left hand has been twitching for 24 hrs now... Grr. Make it stop!

Praying for you always. We totally missed the bus this month, which is too bad as I had a very positive Lh test a few days ago and more EWCM than I'd seen in a long time. But no work = Dh not "there". I made it clear to him that I'm a bit tiffed atm. Gave him "the stare", ha.
Looks like we are cycling together for now anyway.

Sigh and hugs ladies. Praying for you Sarah and Rachel.
