Trying To Conceive

Well, i am new to this site but have actively been TTC for almost 2 years with no success what so ever.
I was previosuly very overweight but am currently following a very strict diet to get this issue under control and have lost just short of 6 stone so thats going well.
My husband had some tests last year resulting in his morphology results being very low so he has done everything possible to increase these results so we have dropped the tests of at the hospital today and hopefully will get some results in about 4 weeks.
We have been trying to time in for ovulation using the ovualtion predictor kits which due to irregular cycles find it hard to catch it at the correct time.
I had a few questions really....

1. how do you check cervical mucus?

2. i have read a few of you have got a chart to record these results could you please help me do this?

3. is there anything else that i can be doing other than what i have already done. i am very open to ideas so would be grateful for any replies.

sorry for the overload of information i have written but though i needed to introduce myself.
thank you for reading
Lou

hi i just want to say a big congraulations on your weight loss 6 stones i cant belive it!

thats amazing

please can you give me advise on how you lost the weight im also over weight i need to lose at least two stone . can you tell me what your daily intake was ie breakfast lunch and dinner. thats if you dont mind i know im asking a lot lf questions but i m soo desperate for a baby that im willing to try any thing its become almost an obsession !! ive got pco's and the doctors will not give me any more clomid with out me losing this weight my appointment it in August and i need to have done it by then.
As for checking your mucus i was advised to wipe my self with a tissue and strech the mucus with my fingers, if its slipperly and wet like egg white then it is suppoused to be a sign of ovulation if its scanty and thick and cloudy then it means that it is hostile to sperm and you proberly are not ovulating.
i hope this helps !
