DH thinks we should try 'The Insertion Technique'

ohnicole · #1 January 4th, 2011, 05:42 PM

I guess he's been doing it wrong all along

He means IUI, silly boy!

Lol! Awww

Poor guy. DH freaks about even talking with the doctor about DTD so I can't imagine what he would say about IUI.

Too funny!

Are you thinking of doing IUI with Femara or go to IUI with injections?

ohnicole · #4 January 4th, 2011, 06:19 PM

I think we want to do a few Femara/IUI cycles before moving on to injectables/IUI. I need to take baby steps

We'll see if the RE will agree to our plan tomorrow, though.

Nicole, ask your RE what they think about DHEA. A lot of RE's out there are jumping on the bandwagon and having their patients take it before IVF cycles. And I got pregnant twice after taking it when they told me NO WAY would I ever get pregnant on my own.

MeganMomof5 · #6 January 4th, 2011, 06:25 PM

LOL @ your dh

Hopefully you wont need to think about it after you get your BFP in the next few days!

ohnicole · #7 January 4th, 2011, 06:31 PM

Missy, is it worth getting your DHEA/testosterone levels tested before taking it? I have looked into it a little since I saw both you and Celena taking it. And it scares me a little bit since before MA I had late/irregular ovulation, and high testosterone levels can contribute to that.

SillyKitty · #8 January 4th, 2011, 07:25 PM

LOL, Nicole. I guess he's kind of right since he hasn't personally tried directly inserting into your uterus (or, at least I hope he hasn't).

(edited to fix my bad grammar)

LMAO, Jess

j&jmom · #10 January 4th, 2011, 07:31 PM

lol . . . men!

missy123 · #11 January 4th, 2011, 07:48 PM

I never had my dhea tested... I just read about the DHEA on the internet and took it. At that point they had already told me I wasn't going to get pregnant so I figured why not?

Please don't take it without talking to your doctor, I don't want your treatment to get messed up by something I read on the internet!

Nicole, I didnt think of it before but the spearmint tea also acts in a way that decreases testosterone. Im not sure how much, have you checked into it at all?

ohnicole · #13 January 4th, 2011, 08:42 PM

Tobi, yeah that's actually why I decided to try the tea when you suggested it (even though I hate tea

) What I found said that it specifically has been shown to help testosterone-induced unwanted hair growth, which I sometimes get and is why I tend to think I would have high, rather than low, DHEA levels. But who knows?

Maybe I will get the bw done

Good Luck with your RE appointment. I hope she agrees with your plan.

lol....this gave me a good laugh this morning, and I really needed it! Men are funny sometimes (alot).

*SamF* · #16 January 5th, 2011, 06:22 AM

Thanks for the goggle this morning!!! needed that!

Halfbaked · #17 January 5th, 2011, 07:56 AM

Ok, that put images in my head that were just wrong, giggle. At least your dh knows what it is, even If he doesn't know what it's called. Of course, you won't need it after you get your bfp this cycle.
