Not sure why I have been thinking of all of the things we did to TRY to get pregnant, seems like a blur but here are some more things......
My doctor had me use a temperature/sex chart
Chart
I had to take my temperature orally every morning before even getting out of bed and write it down. I also had to write if we had intercourse.
I started it on day one. The first day of your period. You may see around day 13-15 that your temperature is a bit higher than normal. This is when you're ovulating. I did have times that it never changed, which meant I didn't ovulate that month.
He also had me buy Ovulation Tests to ensure I was ovulating. Once it says positive (day 14 normally for me) then I had like 24 hours to have sex.
I did this process for about 2 years, with problems along the way. (surgeries for cysts on ovaries, etc)
All that work.......I stopped doing it in like December after having annother unsuccessful IUI done in November and January got pregnant. All that and I couldn't tell ya when it happened in January. Couldn't even have told you when my last period was!
(the whole "give up and it'll work" theory)
Still wishing you much luck. I know how hard it can be on you. I never realized until I got pregnant what a tole it took on my husband and I and how we really gave up on so much along the way after so many let downs. We were close to giving up on our marriage, just didn't have the heart to tell the other. Please don't let that happen to you guys. You're newly married and need to enjoy eachother. What I mean by this is.....being pregnant is pretty tough for 40 weeks and then having an addition to your family is REALLY tough. I never imagined it being this hard. Maybe because I'm 33 I dont know, but it's certainly a life change. You're constantly busy with the little angel and you TRY not to make alllll your conversations with Mr. be about baby, but it just happens..... So, for right now, until you conceive...enjoy sleeping thru the night, cuddling to FP and watching grown up things on tv
I'll keep thinking! Hugs
