Need to update a ticker, Silas Anthony Jordon born Oct 11, 2013. 6th baby, so much love!
Read up on some of the BFP posts on the BFP board...it always helped DP and I get some pointers and find some hope for a quick BFP!
Enjoy and laugh a lot...

I've only been writing here for the last week or so. I do have some advice...
I wish that I had lurked long enough to learn more info before I jumped the gun and ordered my swimmers. Since this isn't your first try you may already know all the important info, but I didnt. I didnt realize how important temping is and I didn't want to pay 50 bucks for the basal thermometer. I didn't want to shell out the cash for the smiley machine so I used cheep opk sticks.
Now I have been totally nerved out because the opks are totally difficult to read and all I have to go on is that and EWCM. Most of the ladies here have it down to a science and my advice is to do that. Buy the smiley thing, temp and record everything:)
Best of luck

If you haven't already charted your cycles for a few months (menstrual cycle, OPKs, temps, cervical position and mucous, etc), then I would say go with three vials so that you can cover all of your bases (if you spread them out every 18 hours you can cover a 54 hour window .... that makes it pretty darn hard to miss the egg!!).
Oh, and use Preseed and try to have an orgasm after you insem ; )
Good luck, and welcome!!
