Keli - In relation to the Maybe Baby - I tried it too, but it just showed ferns all the time for me, which is an indication of high estrogen - so therefore I wasn't Oing which was confirmed via progesterone test and hence the need for Clomid. I think it is a good tool if you have regular cycles & O with no issue but for me it was no good. Also in relation to DTD, yep my DH has had issues 'coming' , usually if he is tired or more b/c we have to DTD. That is why we are going by the OPK's, not DTD every second day like the last 5 cycles on Clomid.
Mez - Thanks for the book details - might have to look into it. DH & I are thinking of staying in the City one night, which I'll try to make it around O time, so hopefully that will help too.
Claudette - I tried taking my temp prior to Clomid and b/c I wasn't Oing at all it really was confusing and messed with my head (I didn't know I wasn't Oing at the time), so I have just stuck with DTD every second day for the past 5 cycles on Clomid, which we haven't had any success with, so I have bought OPK's and will be using them this cycle. DH & I are over the DTD every second night from CD 10 to 21. I am hoping this will pinpoint for sure when I am Oing as I only know that it is sometime between those days, most probably on CD 14/15 but don't know for sure. It can be such hard work & so confusing at times!
I just wanted to share something with you that my GF told me. She is going to be starting IUI next cycle & the nurse at the FS office told her to have a diet high in iodised salt. Not 100% sure why but it is something the nurse really stressed to her. Also the FS told her DH to take Menevit (the mens version of Elevit)....
