So I have 6 boxes of Clearblue Easy ovualtion predictor kits. I noticed the other day that they expire this September so for the fun of it I used it this month. It's the nice kind with the smiley face when you get your LH surge. I was inordinately happy to get the smiley face. I think just the positive reinforcemnt on a pee stick is good for the soul. LOL. We did the BD at the appropriate time, I even elevated my hips afterward. I got the giggles while doing so. It reminded me of being a 27 year-old, naive newlywed. This June will not only be our 5 year wedding anniversary, it will be 5 years since we pulled the goalie. And in all that time the only pregnancies were after IVF. You'd really think a 5mil/ml sperm count would be enough after 5 years of unprotected, relatively young sex wouldn't you? So clearly this is just for fun and I doubt anything will come of it. But hey it's free. And I love the smiley face.
I'm also taking prenatals, fish oil, and have recently started eating pescetarian (no meat except seafood, hoping it lowers my slightly above normal cholesterol but also read it increases fertility?). We are talking about DH maybe seeing a urologist here for a second opinion. 4 years ago when he first saw one the only real option was clomid. I've read a lot lately about arimidex and injections of some sort.
As I end this rambling, short, TMI post I wonder why I wrote it? I guess it just feels wrong to do anything in the TTC realm without sharing with the interwebz.
