4% is classed as normal. Morphology is the lesser of the three evils (motility and count). As OH's motility and count is high, morphology shouldn't affect TTC. It just means it will take longer (hence me TTC for a year...).

Nice work Nic and thanks Cereal although my OH doesn't respond to challenges, he just shrugs his shoulders! We read up a lot more last night and it's finally sinking in.

I think we missed the boat (so to speak)

Now on CD15, Missed CD13 due to opting to EOD but then missed CD14 as I had my head down the toilet with sickness bug, DH is working late tonight and won't be home until toddler invariably wakes up so no DTD tonight (CD15) and so tomorrow will probably be too late.

I'm sorry I can't offer as much support or advice - but as for DH's mine often responds well to bets. I bet him he couldn't stop drinking last year until Christmas. He reckoned he could, so i bet him about £30 I think and for four months he didn't drink at all. Cost me £30 but was a point well made. Could that work?

Oh, after reading H2B the riot act this week, I finally got him on board with Conceive Plus as our lube of choice last night :-)

He's responded quite well to being told to up his game, thankfully. It could have gone the other way. Not that there was much point to using CP last night as it is too early for its benefits, but I just wanted to get him used to using it.

See what happens this month now...otherwise known as the more sex and CP cycle!

This should help, Lol.

More stuff I didn't know. :-/

Lolcbcblemonlime · 20/09/2012 06:40

Pardon my ignorance but what is a good morphology? Is 1% really low?
I'm sure I've read around here that there are things that can be done but I'm not sure what.,, Blush

winkle2 · 19/09/2012 21:55

That's the thing: google is very ambiguous. Some sites say it can't be improved and to go straight to IVF and others say improve diet and exercise, blah blah blah.

SunshineOutdoors · 19/09/2012 19:17

Well all this talk of testing has made me break my promise to myself. Found a pack of Internet cheapies in the car and couldn't resist. Bfn of course, but as I'm anywhere between 2 and 10 dpo it was pointless testing really! How long before I succumb again?

Now I'm not going to pay for a test until af is late, but might use up ones I already have before then!

kittykatskumkwat · 19/09/2012 18:40

Winkle can you just type how to improve it into google? Maybe the web can advise some?
Good news on the others though, when dh had his first time around they never gave us a break down just said they were ok

winkle2 · 19/09/2012 18:32

When - glad to hear tests show all ok and sorry for bfn but fx it's too early.

Well done wee and grabbing oh before he left! Great timing!

Hi to all others :)

Oh got a print out of his sperm results - they show motility and count higher than average and morphology at 1% - does anyone know how to improve morphology?

Lolcbcblemonlime · 19/09/2012 17:59

There's panda on another thread too! And kitten!!!!!
Think I'm going for lolcbcblioness!!! What do u all think?
Started to feel pre af today Sad. But am also very tired!

Thundercatsarego · 19/09/2012 17:55

I'm not sure, I'm a Thundercat and then there's kitty, what other animals have there been?

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 19/09/2012 17:49

I love that name!! Are we narrowing to cats now? Getting very specific.. :-)

Thundercatsarego · 19/09/2012 17:46

What about kNickerbockerGloryCherryKoala?

Or is it mostly felines that have been successful this month?!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 19/09/2012 17:37

Fx for you When...I'm with the others in saying you're a tiny bit early.

I have the K name, should I be adding an animal into it?!

SunshineOutdoors · 19/09/2012 17:31

Fingers crossed for you too when Smile

Thundercatsarego · 19/09/2012 17:24

Good work weechops! This'll be a great story if this is your cycle for success!

I've still got my fx for you when, you never know...

FrustratedSycamorePants · 19/09/2012 17:21

when you are too early. Especially for non-fmu. Didn't you read the link about dpo and testing?

SunshineOutdoors · 19/09/2012 17:20

Kittykats I'm very pleased and keeping my fingers crossed for you. Keep us posted...

Kittenkatzen · 19/09/2012 17:18

Ah when that sucks :(:( still a chance it could just be a little too early though?

well done weechops sterling effort! :o

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 19/09/2012 17:13

Oops didn't mean to post that twice.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 19/09/2012 17:12

Thanks guys weechops brilliant ov and dtd timing. Well done.

I am on 10 (maybe 11) dpo. I didn't use fmu but I am pretty sure it is a negative. Think period will probably arrive on Sat or Sunday.

kittykatskumkwat · 19/09/2012 15:43

Oh no when Sad do you think it's abit early though? I don't think I would have got a +ive without fmu, it was neg yesterday with a superdrug test for me and there is definatly a day either side we may have ovd?
Weechops I had my fingers crossed you'd get your Smile a day early, that was one well timed shag!!

weechops · 19/09/2012 15:30

kitty congratualtions!

Oh when I'm sorry.

I woke up to a smiley face this morning on cd15 and managed to bonk dh before he left! I think that was the first time I actually had to persuade him to dtd, usually he's totally in the mood. I guess 5.30 isn't a good time for him!

Thundercatsarego · 19/09/2012 15:27

Hi when. No chem pg is a good thing at least. Been trying to find the list to see when your bfp is due but can't see it- is it after this weekend? (sorry if you've already said a hundred times, I am easily confusable!)
