[treens]

Hello Ladies! Its been a while! Looks like there is alot of news on here! Congratulations!!!!

We are still working away on ttc, been 8 months now.... But we are still working on it. I should ovulate on my birthday July 29th hoping this will be our month! We also Just got back from mexico it was an amazing relaxing vacation with no kids lol. We have both decided that if it doesnt happen by December we will stop trying.

To you ladies who have gotten your BFP's what did you do for your sways? Waht was your timing, did you use preeseed or musinex? Any bit of help would be great!

Hope you are all feeling great!

Hey treens, good to see u back! Glad u had a great holiday too.
We DTD every 2-3 days or so and didn't bother anymore with OPKs, we used preseed but no mucinex. And I only did some parts of the HE diet that I could manage. We found out yesterday we are having a boy too! If u chk out the sway section of the forum u'll find our sways in there. I really hope u get ur BFP soon!
Boysway did u get the results from the blood test for ur DH? Hoping that u got some answers xo

Just quickly dropping in. Got dh's bt results. Everything is good except testosterone. Testosterone levels should be between 8.3-29, dh's level is 6.4. He had a second bt today. If the level is still under 8 then dh qualifies for testosterone replacement therapy. Hopefully it's as easy as that.

Thanks ewpnx1!
Boysway that's great news! What does testosterone replacement therapy involve? Just meds? So glad that u have some answers xo

Welcome back treens

oncue, yes it involves meds. However, the more I read into it the worse it looks. The TRT (Testosterone replacement therapy) reduces sperm count. The only TRT that would help (from my research so far) is a Gonadtropin injection although I don't know if this would be suitable for dh. I think we might be better off with my first thought. Have dh take Viagra (or similar) till I get my bfp then he can try the TRT. Other then the obvious issues, dh suffers from a lot o symptoms relating to low T levels. Loss of concentration, memory loss, poor sleeping, weight issues etc, etc. Hopefully we can get back to the Dr soon to discuss options. Thanks for askin.g

Dh's issue is even worse then before. Now there is no 'movement in the station'. The wonderful Atomic got back to me. She suggests dh starts the TRT as it takes a while for the TRT to negatively affect the sperm count. She also suggested Dh take the viagra at the same time and try to get pregnant as fast as possible. Now, to get DH and our Dr on board with this.

Boysway good you have figured it out well and sounds like you have good plan. I think the Dr need to start now the treatment asap. Good luck.

[oncue]

Oh that's great to have Atomics input, u def won't go wrong with her advice. Hope ur DH agrees too! Fingers crossed it all happens quickly for u xx

Hi ladies :-) I've been MIA for a bit just not feeling well enough to do much more than the bare minimum these days. Welcome back Treens! Definitely check out our sways in the forum section for that. I recorded everything in there right after our BFP when it was still fresh in my head. I think I forgot about mucinex and even pre-seed on our last attempt that actually worked, and we basically just DTD 3 days in a row as soon as I got my positive OPK, I think :-) It was at the tale end of our beach vacation, and I think the things that really worked was that we were stress free and not too worried about it actually working. We were trying to just have fun with it more than anything else, so maybe that means this will be your month since you guys just had a vac!

Boysway, definitely take Atomic's advise. Also, I wonder if anything of the things we were doing on blue to up our testosterone would work for him. For instance drinking the gelatin drink 3 times a day? I swear when I was doing that I started growing a mustache! I really felt very masculine when I was drinking those for whatever reason, whether it was just those or not, I don't know, but that was what I really increased at the time. Also, it always helps when my DH is working out a bit more for me to give him compliments and tell him how big he's getting and how manly he is, etc. You know, pump his head full of compliments so maybe he starts believing them too and tries harder in that department? Good luck with it all!!
