LB & cdmay

i noticed in the PIP post that you both have irregular periods?

just wanted a "success story" to share with you...

i had talked to a doc before about my irregular periods...while i showed no "real signs" of infertility, if i wanted to start getting tested i could..but i should first try for a year w/o success before pursuing it, because i was young, and it was expensive.....but i was told that if i wanted to try, i should "really" try..because my chances were low. i had my periods anywhere between 28 days to 90+ days all my life, with an average of 37-45-ish days, and because of that, it meant i ovulated "less than the average woman", which ultimately, lowers my chances. 

h and i decided that our plan would be to "half-try" for half a year, "really try" for another year..and if things didn't work out, we would pursue it. we were really lucky since we got KTFU the 5th month of half-trying.

i didn't want to temp, and do all that good stuff, so i just tracked my periods...we would do "it" Wink on CD10, and every other day until i got my period.....but of course, we weren't "good" at it, and sometimes we went two or so days w/o it...

eventually (obv), it worked out....so keep your heads up! i would love to have more KTFU nesties <3

Re: LB &amp;amp; cdmay

  • That's a good strategy.  Fun, too :)
    Until the past six months or so my periods were extremely regular, since my first period.  Always 28-29 days.  Until this year, there were probably 5 periods total that didn't conform to that, so it's weird and worries me.  Maybe i should just chalk it up to stress, but i think that usually that delays ovulation, not shortens it...
    We plan to adopt either way, but i am opposed to fertility treatment, so if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, but i really want it to work.

    DH says we need to "get serious" about it this month. Haha. We normally only have sex 3-4 times a month so it will be really hard I think to have sex every other day starting on day 10 but we'll try it! Thanks for sharing Jenn!

    do it every other day and it'll happen. :) sending lots of dust!
