Yay, baby magic, I think it's a good idea to start temping. Doesn't matter if you start late, you are right you need to start somewhere! And as long as your hubby doesn't have any sperm count issues, BDing every day is a very good way to not miss your window. I say go for it! And it's fun!
I soooooo miss having good sex. I obviously have not felt very sexy the last couple of months. I had a brief time at 4 mo where my sex drive was high, but now I feel like a roly poly little troll. Lol, we still manage about once a week, but let me say the O for me is no where near what it usually is. :( I can't wait to have good sex again, lol! It's totally worth it though!

Phat I'm sorry about the tests, they suck.

Kristi those twins may decide to come earlier than that I think the average is 34 weeks.

Baby magic if your dh has a normal sperm count then bding everyday is fine but if it is on the lower side bding too much can backfire. My dh had a low count but this cycle took fertilaid and we bd'd 4 days straight and I got my bfp.

They only let you take Clomid for a certain amount of time because it could over stimulate your ovaries which could cause them to rupture.

Thanks ladies...

I'm just ready for this to happen. I will start tempting :)

DH just finished his sperm analysis...Thing is, I won't know the results until Monday. i'm scheduled to O between Sunday/Monday....

Should I use the every other day method for now or try to order the Fertilaid just to make sure? I don't see it hurting him if his count really is good..

I just want the best option this time...

I would hold off on the fertilaid til you know. It takes time to build up anyways so it wouldn't do you much good. Just try not to stress too much about timing and bd when it feels right. You don't don't want to get too caught up or it can stress you out, just relax. I know easier sad than done.

I agree with Athena. BD as much as you want this weekend whenever the mood strikes. Don't think too much about it! Just have fun!
I know twins tend to come early. They plan on taking them at 37 wks which would be full term. I hope they stay in there till then or at least 35/36 wks. Any earlier, I would be worried. And I don't want them to have to spend any time in NICU. I want them to come home with me! :(

I think it will be fine though. My doctor's are not worried. I have fraternal twins so they are very low risk. My blood pressure has been very low so far and everything is checking out good. I go for my glucose test soon. My next appointment is the 21st where they will do the u/s to measure how much they weigh. HOpefully their growth is right on schedule! fingers crossed!
I'll go to the doctors every two weeks after that with an measurement u/s every 4 wks. Then I'm sure I'll go over weeks once I hit 30 something weeks. Which isn't far away, lol. I will be 27 wks at my next appointment. They haven't seen me more than usual with this twin pregnancy. I get u/s all the time, pretty much every time I go to the doctors which is awesome though.

Thanks Athena & Kris you ladies are awesome and I take the advice openly...I won't worry about it and I'll be sure to have fun. I'm actually taking the DH to the toy store to pick up something new. It's a gift for him doing the analysis today. He doesn't know, it'll be a surprise.

Worrying is officially out of the door.. :)

Kris..what an exciting time you must be having with the twins. I'm glad that everything is going well. This way, you can enjoy being pregos with them as opposed to worrying so much. Great!

Ladies.. did you know that they have this gender prediction kit out now? I saw it in Walgreen's & CVS. Supposedly you can determine the gender at 10 weeks...The test was about $40. This was my first time seeing something like that.

What do you all think about that?

@Babymagic- An adult toy store or a child toy store . Here honey, you jacked off...have a Transformer !!!!! It's recommended to only take clomid for at most 6 cycles and I've taken it 9 times (you only take it cd 3-5 or 5-9). If taken too many cycles, you can sometimes develop large painful cysts on your ovaries and even impede fertility. My ovaries have never had a problem but the dr wants the specialist to take me on from here cause apparently the clomid itself isnt getting me my babies. I agree with once a day but in all honesty..if we new the answer, we wouldnt be on this forum LOL.
The gender predicition kit has been out for at least a few years now. My sister used it and it predicted a boy and she had a boy. It's cool, but I'm not spending $50 on it.

@kristi-time is flying!

A friend of my cousins used that and it said boy but she had a girl so I don't hold too much stock into that. There is a different one on amazon.

Kristi do you know the genders or is it surprise?

Btw...kristi-you should check out the we-vibe! It's safe for most pregnancies. I really want one!

Lol, awwwwww I miss going to the sex shop! hahahaha! I used to wear all kinds of pretty lingerie. I did on our anniversary (I was only 9 wks at the time) but still felt like a fatty!
Is the We-vibe a vibrator? I have this duo bullet from pure romance I use now. I just use it on my clit, but it works, just my O is so not the same, lol!
We do know the genders!! BOY and GIRL! Perfect combo! We are naming them Addison Leigh and Brett William. I can't wait to meet them! I've got their nursery all done too! Our shower is in 3 weeks. I can't wait to see what items we get and play with their toys, lol!
