@lissa thanks for the tip I'll make sure he does if that is what the prescribe him.

@Shay yeah I thought so too. Temp dipped way down this morning so hoping it stays down for a while until O. I didn’t give the UTI a thought of why my temps could be higher but makes sense thanks today is cycle day 12 and I’ve been cramping for a few days now but again this could be because of the UTI. Only time will tell I guess. Out of opks and don’t plan on buying anymore so here’s hoping my temps cooperate with me to be able to confirm O

@mama hope your tempting helps you confirm O.

Well. I'm about done with my stinking fiance. His doctor appt went okay. His T levels doubled, however he has a small cyst on one of his sacks the doctor wants to monitored. He said nothing to worry about. Worrying if it's the Clomid hes taking. Anyways. I asked him if he talked to the doctor he said the doctor said he need to get in the gym and Lose weight which is what the doctor said in February when he went. He said the doctor says it could be a mental thing. Well, I said did he not prescribe anything for it. My fiance said he wanted to give me Viagra but I didnt want it. I was like Really. REALLY you didnt take the prescrive i was so mad at him. Then to make things worse, he tried last night and nope of course things DIDNT work. He claims he will call the doctor back after he researches the side effects. I told him, I needed him to work now and have it now. Not in a week not in a month. NOW. He was like we will try every night even if it doesnt work at least we will try. I told him I O soon. Plus, I am not going to be home tonight, then we go to his parents and his cousins for the weekend and we never BD at his parents house. I am beyond frustrated. I wasted my 3 clomid cycles. I should have waited to start them. Now this 2nd cycle is going to be a BUST.

So, I ordered wild oat straw like my mom told me to do months ago and told him he was taking it and it will be her by Friday. AND we were BDing before we left for his parents house.

On top of all this, I keep having these conversations in my head about how I wish something was wrong and that we didnt have unexplained infertility but now I understand the problem. Lack of BDing.

On a happier positive note. I picked my wedding venue and we have an officiant. So things are finally moving in the wedding planning.

@Bug i'm sorry you're going through this. I can totally relate. It is very hard for them to talk to the doctor about their issue and also hard to admit there is a problem and then give in to the need for medication. It is a huge blow to his ego. Try to be as supportive as you can be and please don't get mad at him -- it won't help anything. Sometimes it is a mental problem, but the medication even helps with that if that's his only issue. I'm so sorry you are going through this -- i know exactly how it feels. As for side effects, the only side effect my DH was warned about was potential low blood pressure and headaches. He has not experienced either of those side effects. Just remember that it only takes one time and one sperm to make it happen, so a BD marathon is not necessary - you just have to get lucky with your timing! Congrats on finding a venue and setting a date. I hope it's your dream wedding.

Hey ladies! I just got all caught up. It’s been a crazy week. I wake up at 530am, get the kids ready to get out of the house, work all day, get home (I commute), make dinner, clean, toddler bath and bed, and then have about 1 hour to work on my kitchen remodel I started Monday before I collapse in bed to start all over again the next morning. I’m CD6 and AF is still hanging around for some reason. A little more than spotting, but less than a light flow. She should be gone by now. This is annoying! All of you should be getting close to O day now. Good luck!

Bug I’m sorry that sounds frustrating but like Liisa said don’t get mad at him it doesn’t help! I’ve been there I know how you feel but being mad at him only makes it harder on him. I hope you guys get it figured out soon! And congrats on picking the venue and getting things lined up for your wedding!
Momma mine was extra long this month too a little annoying.
AFM temp still down low this morning so hopefully staying that way until O. No idea when I’ll actually O this month. Hopefully soon but probably not for a while yet. Today is cycle day 13 the earliest I have Od recently was cycle 16 but I don’t think that will be the case this month but we shall see. Things are kinda hectic around here. My oldest starts school this year so we’re trying to make sure everything is ready for that and working and making plans for a mini vacation right before school starts.

@mama That sounds fun but hectic! My oldest starts high school this year! Eeeek! My middle child will be in middle school, and the little one doesn’t get to start preschool til next year. She’s so sad.

Hello ladies, I'm back. I took a break after our miscarriage. Then last week I was out of town for work. Today I am cycle day 14. Yesterday my BBT was 96.88, this morning it was 97.38. We have BDed plenty this week, and are going to again tonight. I'm nervous, but excited. I hate that we are all still here, but it's nice to have all of you for support. We started trying for Baby #2 the beginning of August 2018, so just over a year now :(

@hdkelly so sorry for your loss. Most, if not all of us (unfortunately), have been there and we feel exactly what you're feeling. I'm glad to see you back now trying again and wish you best of luck TTC after miscarriage. I had my miscarriage in March at 7w1d and i'm currently pregnant again (6w6d today) so i'm super anxious and nervous. We saw the heartbeat last week at 6w0d so i hope and pray so hard that little nugget is still growing and getting stronger every day. It took me 4 cycles after miscarriage to conceive again. Good luck!!

@kelly Sounds like O day may have been yesterday? Pretty good temp spike. Baby dust to you!
AFM: I have been contemplating not temping this cycle. It makes me get my hopes up too much. Or maybe just temping CD10-18 to confirm O, and then stopping.
