Things to Evaluate for Next Cycle

Things to review and make adjustments if necessary for next time:

Review of Cycle #1 = BFN

  1. Did we time the insems correctly? Should we have started a day earlier or later?
  2. Does she know which day she actually ovulated?
  3. Did we do enough insems?
  4. Should we have done 1 of them at night where she goes to sleep and doesn't get up for several hours? Did it harm our chances by not doing that this time?
  5. What should we do differently next time?
Plan for Cycle #2
  1. What will be the key days or range of possible days for insems? My guess is May 30th - June 2nd.
  2. She normally ovulates on day 18, but last cycle it was day 16.  Do her cycles have a pattern where she will go back to day 18 next time?
  3. Would R be willing to fly to Chicago for this next cycle? 
  4. Should Tarzan drink coffee before insem, and if so what is the exact timing?  3 hours or 1 hour beforehand?

Bummer. I've read that morning is better than evening.

Thinking about you.

Sorry Kel. That really stinks. But I'm glad that you get to try again next month. I know that doesn't make it less disappointing though. I was hoping that for once, you'd not have to go through the wringer for this and just have something work the first time. Grrrr! Big hugs!

Well, that sucks. Maybe that was your practice run and now it will be all good! I haven't got any experience with the HIs, sounds like it ought to work! Best of luck to you on round 2!
