livin4christ9203 said:Has anyone here who has been pregnant before, ever gotten pregnant with very irregular cycles??
I have extremely irregular cycles, so I can't chart or do most o fthe ovulation predictor things. I have one of those ovulation predictor monitos, that you just buy the strips for, but it gets so aggrivating since my cycle is always different.
Beth1231 said:A little off-topic, but is anyone else completely freaked out about the cost of having a baby like I am? Especially since I will go from full-time working to part-time from home? Hubby and I did a bit of baby homework this morning and the numbers just scare me......anyone else in this boat with me?
Beth1231 said:Well, I hope all the TTC ladies are having fun *wink wink*
My husband and parents have been praying for me a lot. I am starting to feel much more at peace about beginning TTC in the fall. I know Jesus will provide for us and I am choosing to trust Him.
I have a different question...I think I will start a new thread for it, though
LOLOL I said 4 hours.. I meant 4 years!! I hope you all caught that.livin4christ9203 said:HI!! Thanks for inviting me here!! My husband is very excited about having a baby, sometimes I think he is more excited than I am. We've been trying for nearly 4 hours, since about 1 month into our marriage. It's been a long long long process for us. We are okay with it though, we know it will happen when God wants it to.
Worknprogress said:Hey I heard about something today and wanted to know if any of you have heard of it before. A friend of mine who is pregnant went to a fertility specialist before she became pregnant. Her husband's sperm count was perfect, but the doctor told him to take Folic Acid daily. She got pregnant on the next cycle. She knows of 5 different women whose husbands did this that became pregnant soon. So I figured why not? My dh is taking folic acid now, and we will see.

SweetBella said:let us know how that goes, thats interesting!
did you ask your doctor about it?
Worknprogress said:Will do.
Nope, just thought we would try and see if it helps.
Beth1231 said:how do I tell the difference between the CM descriptions? Wet is wet to me and I simply don't see "sticky, creamy, watery or eggwhite." Actually, I think of all of it as watery which is putting misplaced green boxes on my chart! Help.....
http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/cervical-mucus.html said:Before Ovulation (low chance of pregnancy):
The first few days following menstruation, there will be little or no discharge present. You will feel dryness around your vulva. During this time, chances of getting pregnant are low.
Approaching Ovulation (chance of pregnancy):
The first discharge that does appear should be moist or sticky and should be white or cream in color. In the finger test, the mucus should break easily. You will only be able to pull your fingers about 1 cm apart before it breaks. During this transition time, first the mucus will become cloudy and slightly stretchy during the finger test (this means that it will still break before the fingers are stretched all the way). As time progresses, the mucus will become greater in volume.
Right around ovulation (high chance of pregnancy):
At this stage, mucus resembles egg whites. It is the thinnest, clearest and most abundant at this point in the cycle. Finger testing will allow the mucus to stretch quite a ways (several centimeters) before it breaks (if it breaks at all). ) The amount of this thin mucus will steadily increase until you experience your 'mucus peak'. This is the last day of this period where the chance of conception is high. It is closely tied to ovulation. During this phase, the sperm's survival rate is higher. It can survive in cervical mucus for up to 72 hours, a significantly longer time than during the rest of the cycle.
After Ovulation (low chance of pregnancy):
After ovulation, there is a marked change in mucus appearance. It returns to the sticky stage (does not stretch during finger test) and there is again a feeling of dryness around the vulva.
One caution for this test is that sperm can be confused with the mucus secretions and you could make wrong assumptions. Also, vaginal infections, medication, and birth control can alter conditions and should be taken into consideration when examining any vaginal secretions.
There are several cases where you may not be able to collect an adequate sample of cervical mucus. Medications, being over 35, & not ovulating can have a dramatic effect on your body's ability to produce the fertile cervical mucus.
