Warning TMI... WAY TMI :)

Hey Ladies!


So, I don't know how many of you read my introductory post... but a little background first. I have PCOS and have lost quite a bit of weight recently. We decided to try naturally this month before we tried the Clomid or any other fertility stuff. So, anyways, I know this is going to sound kinda silly, but I have no idea how long my cycle is... mainly because of irregularity and the PCOS. So, I just decided to calculate on a normal 28 day cycle. So... I didn't temp or anything, but I just figured out my O dates or fertile days with the ovulation calculator. So, the ovulation calculator said that my main fertile day was last Wednesday the 22nd. So we BD'd then, and then most of the weekend as well.


So here comes the TMI part....


So last night...at work of all places (I work in the evenings until 1:30 AM), I noticed that there is tons and tons of discharge. Like a huge amount. So I go to the bathroom, and its like a thick, but not too thick, egg white consistency. But there is tons of it.... I remember reading that EWCM is a big indicator for O. So, this is what I'm thinking. We don't always get to BD when we want, because I work nights and my husband works days. So, I'm thinking that maybe since I"m probably extremely fertile today, and that based on the EWCM, that my cycles are more like 33 days.... that I might turkey baste. LOL. We can't exactly have sex when my daughter is awake (alone time is a joke with her.. lol), and he is dead to the world when I get home. But, I have this huge feeling that I am ovulating right now, and that my best time to get pregnant is going to be now. So, ladies, tell me what you think!! :)


The ULTIMATE QUESTION???? To turkey baste or not to turkey baste?? Oh, and have any of you ever done that??... Although the idea of a turkey baster sounds disgusting it would get the job done in a pinch, and then we can BD this weekend. :)


Thanks,


Rosie w/ Hannah 11.18.03 and DH David 2.14.04

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
I know how disappointing it is to miss a month due to schedules and have to wait another 4 weeks.
Good luck whatever you decide.
Sticky baby vibes,

Hey Girls!


From the research that I have done on it... It is better to use fresh semen.. but you can use frozen semen (frozen semen can be used for up to 6 to 9 months). Either way before you use it needs to be body temperature. I'm going to just try it with fresh sperm. It needs to be in a clean boiled, but completely cooled, cup. Then you can use like a turkey baster, and inject it right by the cervix. Then you are supposed to lay on your back with your butt raised for at least 10 minutes. They say it's better to use a speculum (the thing the doctor uses for a pap smear).. but where the heck am I going to get one of those? lol. They say it's easier to have someone you trust do the actual insemination part. They also say to inseminate every other day during your fertile time for the best results.

If he can do himself, wouldn't it be just as easier to get DD to watch a movie for 5 minutes well you sneak off with DH....BUT I must say you have my interest peaked, because sometimes my DH goes away out of town for business.......

My husband goes out of town for business a lot, too, in fact he will likely miss my who December cycle. Is this a real possibility?

I have read that you can freeze semen, however, its better to use fresh sperm. I hear it can be frozen for up to 6 to 9 months. It's worth a try. :)
