Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hello all,I am Dipti from Bombay.Untill now I was reading the problems faced by all users and the solutions given by Professionals like Archie.Well indeed Archie did a fantasctic job in replying to the queries.I got married in Dec.2002.
Well I am 23 and my hubby is 27.the real problem is we are TTC past 8-10 months but with no result.My hubby did the semen analysis and it showed the sperm count more than 20..and the motility 50%.but because he had some drinks 1 day before the test and we did intercourse the same day,I suppose only one result isn't sufficient.Me too did all urine/blood tests in Dec.2003 end and reports r normal.Then we didn't go to doc.Actually we didn't know that there are only 5-10 days called as fertile period,so the actual time since when Im TTC is abt 8 months (in that period we were away from each other).

The Doc had given Fertyl-M tablets to my hubby for 3 months.And the course ended in April-04.Well the major problem is that every time I get my periods 6 to 7 days late after a month,so every time we r under assumption that Im pregnant.But then period cums.Well is this the case of Ecostopic preg? Or a miscarriage? I do show all signs of pregnancy like body temp.rises,breat soreness,light headache n all.Im confused coz my cycle seems to be of 35 days,will my fertile period vary? well this time my period were 7 days late and I got it yesterday on 21st June now we r really worried could u guyz pl help
Archie replied. Dear Dipti,
You live in Mumbai, and you can get lot of help there itself.

Try to buy ovulation prediction kit (ask your Dr. or pharmacist if exist).

Given irregular period it makes it difficult to figure which are your fertile days.

If cycles are of 35 days then sleep around CD18 to CD25. Once a two days or once a 24 hours should help.

Ask your hubby to adopt healthy life style, give up on drinks, known to affect sperm quality and quantity.

You can buy digital thermometer and start taking temperature each morning at the same time provided you get up at the same time each morning. This will help you figuring your ovulation. If the temperature goes slightly down than regular (which will take place around cD19 in your case for 35 days cycle), this is the right time to bed. You can bed once a day and continue until you see rise in temperature.

You say you have read my replies then you know what I mean is BBT and you may have an idea more in detail how it works. Do this if you can't get OPK.

Good luck
Archie
