On the Fertility Forums: Confused about Timing Sex, Downtime Between Cycles, and Ovulating Too Early
Have you check out our fertility forums lately? Well, ya should! The lights are on all day and night, and it's a great place to find support from those struggling to get pregnant.
Here are a few topics on the message boards now.
Member Marietta6000 is ovulating too early in her cycles, on day 9 or 10. She writes, "I'm just wondering, is there anyone else on here who has a problem of 'racing' ovulation? My cycle is totally regular, every 28 days, but I ovulate (with good sized follicles) around day 9 or 10, instead of day 14, and so this is why I had to use injectables with my daughter."
Can you relate? Reply to her message with your experiences (or just words of support!)
Katy just started trying to conceive last month, and is feeling confused. She writes, "Quite a few websites say to try every other day but I'm worried in case we miss the actual day I ovulate.... I'm already 33 and this would be our first baby, and we desperately want to have a baby. I'm getting scared in case time is running out. Can anyone give me any reassurance or suggestions?"
I know many of you are basic-TTC experts. Can you come offer your advice and support to Katy?
Another question from Marietta6000 is about downtime between injectable cycles. She writes, "I had my first IUI with drugs to try to conceive our third child. I responded crazily to the mild 75iu of puregon, producing around 11 or 12 follicles, of around five were a volume ranging from 18mm up to 26mm, so my cycle had to be cancelled due to high risk of high order multiples.
"Was disappointed when my doctor told me I can't start the second round once I get my next period (in around two weeks), but have to wait for the period after that (so have to wait six weeks to start next cycle). He told me that my body needed time to recover. Is this the normal protocol? Has anyone else been told they have to wait this long to restart?"
Did your doctor ask you to take a break in between treatment cycles? Come and share your experiences.
