I have a lot of internet ones as I buy them in bulk - well after 3 yrs I figured I'd be taking longer.
I had 3 different kinds all internet strips- yesterday got what I thought were evap lines but within the time.
You had posted the night before and I was answering you as if I was talking myself out of the lines on my test Today I used an Acon ultra early 10 mui test and bang thick pink line straight away
So like you plugged in a clearlue just to be sure
faint line but def there.
So I figure this is with afternoon urine so I must be up the duff?

Take a deep breath
Doggy style as recommended by Hopecat - had avoided for months as was told it was the WRONG position for conception
Legs in air after wards
Drunk grapefruit juice to improve cervical fluid
cough mediciine to thin cervical fluid
EPO for more cervical fluid
pre seed to make up for my lack of cervical fluid
Lots of comedy dvds to relieve stress...

Cannot be so bad if it worked though ;)

I have a fertility score home sperm test here wannabe, we used one of teh tests for dp and he was fine so its yours if you want it honey?
Trace whats your edd?
I'm still in denial and shock - I think its some kind of cruel joke
It better be real - but honestly some of the things I did this month to ttc LOL

Nicki10 · 12/07/2006 19:28

Or maybe he should dress up as an israel man and you as a clown as thats what seemed to make them perform

bobblehead · 12/07/2006 19:11

Or dress him up as a clown, a bit of role playing can be fun

coggy · 12/07/2006 18:50

What a bizzare study - clowns in a fertility unit!!
How did they think that one up??!!! LOL!

wannaBe and Trace - thanks for your eternal encouragement! Bless you both you have made me smile.
I do ov late but my cycle is around 28 days. I'm CD27 today so I think it would have showed a BFP if I was.

Maybe I should take DH to the circus??!!!

Sexonlegs · 12/07/2006 18:47

Wannabe, it sounds as you and I are in similar boats then although I ov'd late. Have been spotting for the last few days and af due on the 19th July.

bobblehead · 12/07/2006 18:01

Really hope your dog gets better soon Trace

This is turning into a very lucky thread. Please stick around Trace you can give us all so much hope and support

Sexonlegs · 12/07/2006 17:53

Trace, really sorry to hear your dog is so poorly, I really feel for you.
Good luck everyone; sounding really likely for a number of people on here now!

wannaBe1974 · 12/07/2006 17:47

aw I really hope he's ok. did the vet say what might be wrong?

trace2 · 12/07/2006 17:13

not good the vet said its not looking good, so ive asked if we can see him, he thinks i should wait because being so ill, when we leave can make him worse, so worried about him

wannaBe1974 · 12/07/2006 16:58

I'm not getting my hopes up just on spotting as did that last time and it was a nightmare. as far as im concerned this is just a ve light af and I have no intentions of testing any time.

But I'm really really happy this has been such a positive thread for some, esp trace and piffle, I think it's great that two people who have been trying for so long have both got bfp's in one month. Coggy am not giving up hope for you either yet.

How's the dog now trace?

trace2 · 12/07/2006 16:21

og this thread is getting very poative i can feel it,
wannbe, dont give up until shes here, and as for dh sperm, wait and see!, my friends dh had a low spern count and she had poco, and they got a ds whos on here, and my dh took zinc, it is surpossed to work

Piffle , i am so hoping its a good +,

coggy, i thought ytou ovulated late, so if you did its too early to test, i remember with ds i was a week over af befor i got the +

sometimenever, good dh is coming with you to gp, they like to see that

Piffle · 12/07/2006 16:07

there was that study in Israel mentioned the other week - they put clowns into fertility clinics and the conception rates shot up.
If I am really pregnant I think having that fertility clinic appt last week would not be a coincidence, almost like you're giving up and trying something else. something also I swore I would never do... take fertility drugs.
Life is weird
And it makes me wonder about kids who were just meant to be here, like my ds who appeared as bfp while I was on the pill and had been using condoms!!

wannaBe1974 · 12/07/2006 16:01

ya know, someone really should do some serious research into why it is that if a couple gives up trying, it appears to become easier to get pregnant. there are so many stories of people who have been through IVF cycles/ trying for years/given up and almost as soon as they focus on something else they fall pregnant. Obviously that doesn't happen for everyone, but it does appear to be quite a common finominon.

Piffle · 12/07/2006 15:57

wannabe my cousins dh had very low and immobile sperm count with lots of malformed sperm. He had een in the army and had exposure to various chemicals that could affect fertiltiy
He was put on a special diet high in certain things, selenium and zinc being two of the things, it takes 72 days from what I recall her telling em at the time for sperm to be regenerated. so you fix now for sperm in 72 days
Now they had no luck after 6 mths although his count had improved dramatically and were offered IVF which they tried two cycles of before deciding they would adopt.
Booked skiing holiday and came back pregnant - through natural causes
They now have 3 babies. So in some cases it can be helped

wannaBe1974 · 12/07/2006 15:44

well am spotting slightly again, and there is some cm in there - I think I just have to put it down to being a very light af, like the one I had a couple of months ago. ve irritating. was sure I had ovulated this month.

Does anyone know, if dh turns out to have a low sperm count, is there anything they can actually do about it?
