hullo.. still rem me?
I saw a lot of questions shooting abt.. Who was asking abt sperm and how long it takes to replenish? Sperm takes 90-100days to mature!
EWCM usually comes slightly before +ve OPK. that's because they help nourish and keep the sperm alive before you ovulate. My suggestion is to do it once u see +ve OPK.. and stop doing it once u get a thermal rise in ur BBT.
This is sooooo strange! Clinical studies have shown the MOST accurate way of determining that you are going to ovulate is OPK and NOT BBT. OPK correlated to 97% ovulation when checking with ultrasounds. BBT is only 43%... wonder if those gynaes advocating BBT are very old school? hahaha.. nonetheless no harm doing both.
Sweetie, not sure if anybody replied u. taking a blood test at around CD21/22 is to check that u have ovulated. This is to test for your progesterone level (or ratio of estrogen/ progesterone not too sure). Ur progestrone levels will only increase aft ovulation. if u have very low progesterone, then likely have yet to ovulate.
A little update on me.. i did my IUI yesterday and doc ordered me to be on MC today (hence I can come in) because he thinks my working hours are crazy! he also told me the HCG booster jab of 5000mg shd stay in my body for 5-6 days so last mth when i test +ve 9, 10, 11 days aft jab, is likely that i was preg.. sigh.. he said dun think abt it lor and since he nv confirm the preg, just treat it as the leftover booster jab. haha.. aft this cycle if i m unsuccessful, i am to remove a polyp then try IVF the next cycle.. hb's morphology nv improved at all. only 3% aft wash..
Airy, I miss our late nite chats.. nobody to keep me awake! have been working till 2 every morning!
