So, Luke comes home for mid-tour in a few weeks.:rockon::rockon:

I have been actively involved with our doctor getting ready for when he comes home, fertility tests, bloodwork, blah blah blah... so, he put me on some medications to hopefully get us pregnant.

I am on 1000mg of Metformin, Clomid in 2 doses a day, and prenatals twice a day...

Do any of you have any other suggestions on how to prepare in TTC before he gets home???

I was told that as soon as you are done to wedge pillows under your butt, raising it up, your head and back will be on the bed. It is supposed to force the semen towards the eggs. I did it, but I'm sure I didn't need to. I got preggo with both kids without any extra help. Hope it helps dear!

Eh temping for only a few weeks isnt as exciting lol.

Met and clomid though...wow. That's a lot of medication! I really hope it works for you!

So lets see...a few weeks...maybe a May 2010 baby. Oooh exciting!!

the only thing i can tell you is to put the pillows under your butt to lift your hips up.
this is dorky, but chris used to talk to my belly, telling his swimmers where to go and what to do. :) i would like to think that actually helps :)
good luck!!! fingers crossed for you!
