That conventional personal lubricants can slow down sperm mobility making it nearly impossible for sperm to make its way to the egg? Currently there is only one sperm friendly lubricant on the market, its called “PreSeed”. It is packaged in individual packets and looks a little clinical, but is worth using if you are trying to get pregnant.Listen to me, I am just full of tips huh?

Don’t mess around with any other ovulation test, go straight for the expensive digital ones…they are much easier to read…if you are anything like us, we want the lines to look alike so badly that we are poor judges of it the lines are actually alike or not. Digital is so easy and takes the emotion out of it, its simply  a smile face (= ovulation) or a 0 (= not). How easy is that? I can’t believe no one tells ya that!

 

Failed Attempt #2 April 20, 2006

Well, we have not been successful this second try around either. I was actually a little excited when I woke up and was feeling nausiated on saturday morning. Knowing that my period was due sat or sunday, I took hope in the queasy feeling I had all day saturday, along with the fatigue…sunday I was put in my place when my period came. We have one shot left before we have to buy more “semen of a righteous man”, we initially only purchased three units, in other words, three months worth.To top it off, our house needs repair after repair, so I fear that the house is going to eat up any funds we have for baby making. I do not want to have to put any baby making attempts on hold. I feel like we would be back at square one.So yeah, its hard to post when there is not much to post. Life goes by in weeks of two…two weeks waiting to ovulate, followed by two weeks waiting to see if it took, and repeat.Trying to stay positive. We want this so badly.
