Is it possible to write about fertility without at some point writing something that someone might consider "too much information"?
In addition to my luteal phase defect, J has a slightly less than average sperm count. His first test had his count at 3 million (yikes!), the second at 20 million, and the third at 32 million. Let's hope he tends toward the 32 million and the 3 million was a fluke.
Everything I've read suggests that if the male partner has a low sperm count, you should consider having intercourse every other day during your fertile period, but I've also read that the male partner shouldn't go too long between ejaculations. I still don't know when I ovulate, but as this is my first month on Clomid, I want to do everything I can to increase my chances of conceiving and have already planned that we'll have "the sex" on Friday and Sunday, I'll have my ultrasound Tuesday morning, and then we'll make additional plans from there.
John is out of town Wednesday night through Friday night of this week so I called him yesterday on the way home while I was thinking about it and told him "the sex" schedule. I then also informed him he would have to have "the sex" with himself on Wednesday. We have the most romantic conversations these days. So J said, "Clean the pipes?" and I said, "Tickle the pickle," and it degenerated from there. But hey, at least we've kept our senses of humor.
