| I am new in this, so I have a few questions. I would really appreciate your feedback!
1. I am regular in my periods, but my ovulation kit does not show that I am ovulating.. it has been 2 months and no ovulation. Could the kit be wrong? Or am I not ovulating even though my periods are regular? (My blood tests show that I am healthy and my doctor was sure that I would have no problem getting pregnant!) 2. Is it true that you should not have sex everyday to save up on stronger sperms? 3. We use lubricants. I have heard some lubricants are sperm killers. Is that true? Thanks so much. p.s. I am 34 Years old! |
Hey there! May I ask how long you've been trying for? I've heard a lot that it can take up to a year or so for a healthy couple to successfully conceive. If you've already had blood tests, I'm guessing you're ovulating? If you're worried about it, you could always just mention to your doctor that the opk's aren't showing that you're ovulating and see if there's any other method you can use that may work better for you. As far as having sex everyday, I'm sure it doesn't necessarily HURT to have sex every day, but I would think doing it every other day or every 2 days instead would definitely benefit the production of sperm. And as far as the lubricants, I think a lot of them have spermicides in them...you'd want to make sure you were using one without. I'm not totally sure on the overall effect non-spermicidal lubricant would have on TTC.
Good luck; lots of baby dust to you!
