Cycle 4, Day 6

 Today is day 6 of cycle 4. I ordered refills of our supplements yesterday, and included the Motility Boost to our mix for my husband. I recently looked at his semen under the fertile focus microscope, and I noticed an amazing increase in his amount of sperm compared to 3 months ago when he started taking the CountBoost. The sperm count had to have been at least 10 times more. He was also told his sperm had low motility. It does no good to have a lot of sperm that are not moving. The main ingredient in the Motility Boost is Co-Q 10. Most people who take the FertileAid supplements get pregnant fairly quickly. I assumed we would take longer than most because we had a double whammy of both of us having fertility issues. 

I am praying for everything to be in line again this month. Such as having my CM fertile during the right time, ovulating, and having my husbands sperm multiply and move quickly! 

FertileAid Cycle 3

Today is day 22 on cycle 3, and I cannot get over how different this cycle has turned out to be compared to the first two! First off, my CM was more fertile on the days closest to the days I was supposed to ovulate! Which is awesome! Because the first two months my CM was showing fertile signs really early in the cycle, only days after my period was over. I cannot really say for certain about my basal body temp lining up with my day of ovulation because I ended up with the flu around that time, and my temp went all the way up to 102. 

I also took a OPK test on the day that the calendar predicted me to ovulate, and both tests I took came back positive! The first OPK test I took, I don't think was a true positive, but this one was!! What a reason to Praise God! I cannot wait to let all of you know we are expecting! Signing off for now.

Cycle 2, Day 9/Full Ferning

This morning when I woke up, my basal temp was 97.05, which was the same yesterday. I am confused about my chart right now because I had a full Ferning on the scope this morning, yet my CM was not that great. I was thinking when I got a full Ferning, that my CM would be more fertile. I am thinking, and hoping that tomorrow I will still see Ferning, and my CM will be better than today. Anyway, here is what the Ferning pattern looked like this morning:

Cycle 2, Day 6

Last month I felt like I ovulated really close to the time my period ended. Today is the first day I have no spotting, and I saw a lot of Ferning on the scope this morning. From what I have researched, it seems like there are women who do ovulate earlier in their cycle than the typical day 14. I am just going to keep a close eye on how I am feeling, and watch for Ferning the next two days. 

Here is what my microscope looked like this morning:

Cycle 2

I started my period today, but I can tell the FertileAid is regulating my cycle. Normally my cycle would be 6 to 7 weeks before I would start my period, but this past cycle was only 35 days!!!! Plus I also noticed that I wasn't so hormonal before my period.

You have to remember to give the supplements 3 months to heal everything. I believe our attitudes and minds are very powerful, so if you get to a place in your mind that you WILL get pregnant, then you will!!

Fertile-Focus Ovulation Microscope

Today I wanted to discuss a Fairhaven Health product called Fertile Focus. What Fertile Focus is, is a small microscope that looks like a tube of lipstick. How it works is, you take your saliva first thing in the morning before brushing your teeth or drinking any water, and place it on the lense of the microscope. You then allow it to dry on the lense, giving it at least 5 minutes or so before placing the cap back on the tube.

There is a push button on the bottom of the tube that lights up the lense so that you can see what your saliva looks like. What you are looking for is a pattern called "ferning", which occurs up to 72 hours in advance of ovulation. The ferning represents an estrogen surge, and shows hormonal changes. I have been watching for ferning using the Fertile-Focus microscope for the past four days, and I finally saw a partial ferning pattern this morning!!!

Here are the photos I have taken of the microscope since I started:

Finally A Big Change This Morning!!

I woke up this morning around 6:30am, and took my basal temp. It had a tremendous drop! It went from 97.20 c yesterday morning, to 96.63 c today. My CM was super stretchy too!! For the first time ever! I believe it is from taking the Fertile CM. I took a pic of my chart so you can see exactly how much of a change occurred.

If you look at the blue line on the graph, you can see how much my basal temp went down. The blue bar's height determines how fertile or stretchy your CM is.
