still TTC your first baby? want some glastonbury luck?

you're right it's not impossible, just very unlikely. It's just me being miserable and over-dramatic. Ignore me!

Nomore - I thought that low morphology meant that there were less viable sperm - but still some viable sperm - and since it only takes one does that not mean it might happen? Or have they told you it's no go? Sorry - I'm new to all this so don't really know the science! Trying to remain positive for you - I'm a big believer in little miracles - you never know!

Bb - sending sunshine your way and hope the rain doesn't get your poor shop!!

Im on CD14 and my ov tests are giving the faintest lines (I might be seeing things) and I have no mucus, bet you are all please you know that! Im wondering if having two of the most stressful weeks of my life may be causing me not to ovulate.

Plus Im getting a cold sore which means I am really run down. My skin is a right mess I think my skin is in denial that I am 30 it still thinks Im a teenager.

Im really fed up and just so tired of ttc and the emotional up and downs that go with it.

On the positive side the shop may have been robbed but we are not flooded yet, although they have forecast more rain fingers crossed it wont get us but getting in and out of Sheffield is a nightmare at the minute.

toomuch please send us some spanish sun we need it. I hope you are enjoying just relaxing.

toomuch - glad you are enjoying the sun, we could do with some here. don't think I will fall naturally ever as DH has low morphology of sperm, but thanks for the sentiment!
ready - have cat-ed you (I'm not a miser!) reply if you like, I won't be offended if you don't! (some people don't like being 'unmasked') Don't know what my levels were, she just spent ages asking if I had 28 day cycle (like I'd already told I do) and then she finally said that the test showed no ov, but that everything else was normal.
fi - I started on the wine last night, when DH took me out for a chinese meal to cheer me up.
everyone else - cheers

Hello everyone!

Big hugs nomore!! Try an keep your chin up! If you're not ovulating it may just be a case of taking clomid (sp!?) And then you may fall first month!! At least you're fining out what's happening and moving in the right direction..

Treenie - hope you're feeling ok! Hopefully you'll fall this month - you never know - but if you don't we'll have to make a pact to be calmer next month

Ready - sorry to hear you're down.. You were the ray of light on this thread a few months ago - I hope you start feeling more positive soon! Got everything crossed for you to fall soon (and everyone else on here!!)

Fi - the big glass of wine route has definitely been my preferre option!! I figure I've got a whole year or so to be sober when pregnant and breatfeeding so I'm chilling and relaxing with a couple of vinos on holiday

Mistlet - how are you stress levels at the moment then? Hopefully low so that dc2 comes along soon

Scorpio - how's it going? Any luck yet?

Hello everyone else - and sending you some spanish sun as I hear it's a bit wet over in the uk

Nomoremagnolia - What tests did you have done? So far I have had my progesterone and thyroid checked. What was your prog level, if you don't mind me asking? I'd CAT you but I'm a miser who hasn't set up the facility Do you chart your temp? Because I think that might help you see if you are ovulating. I know that it's not always accurate, but it gives a good indication. Worth a try perhaps?

mistlethrush - Thanks for your optimism, mine is seriously lacking at the moment.

fifilou - I am tempted to drown my sorrows this weekend!

treenie - Promise me, no more early testing!!

koocoo - I think that as a genereal rule, if the man has a low sperm count then it is not advised to do it every day.

Everyone else - hope all is well. I am still down in the dumps. Just playing the waiting game... CD1 on the horizon, before the day is out.

Ready / Nomore ((((hugs)))).

Sorry you're not feeling great at the moment - but it can happen, even if you can't imagine it at the moment - look at me, top of NHS IVF list twice, and now ds to show for it (although not via IVF - I think I work well under pressure).

I think stress is not good - 2nd time worked when I resigned from a job that I was not enjoying - not a great way to start a new job, knowing that you're pregnant, but it all worked out OK.

Got to go, wailing upstairs (ds rather than DH I think).

Fingers crossed for everyone. Fingers crossed for me this coming month for #2 18months on...

Um Treenie - I may be asking the blindingly obvious, but what did you expect to see on a HPT on cd 23/4 of a 33 day cycle? (and only 1 day after you think you ov'd?)
The earliest HPTs can only detect pg four days before af due (and they're not that brilliant really as what they mean by 4 days before af is 10 days after ov, regardless of the length of LP)

Not good news from my doc's - test show I didn't ov. Now I'm no biology whizz, but I do know that to make a baby you need an egg and a sperm, so not looking good. She's referred us to the hospital fertility centre but we don't know if I never ov or if it's an anovulatory cycle. ARGGH!

Fi you are a wee star! Nice to know I'm not alone and the only one who is going a bit round the bend!
I reckon you have a longer cycle than you think. Have you had any ov pain? feels like cramps - maybe down one side and in your back to. Can be mild or really achy.
That's a good sign. But you know as long as you are bding a lot you won't miss ovulation as there will be loads of sperm there - that's what is keeping me going anyway.

Just been staring at it for the past five mins and you are right fi. Feeling mega pissed off with myself and fed up and stupid. I think when you really want something you can imagine it.
Off for a cupa and a kitkat to cheer myself up. No more testing for me until next Friday.

Thanks though fi - I did need to hear the truth just don't want it to be that.

guys please read my 'please please advise me' thread adn see what you think!

Egg White Cervical Mucus

basially, the fertile mucus that looks like egg whites.

Good job im not easily embarrassed! have a good date tonight!

koocoo-every 2/3 days is best, for the best sperm!

fifi-i found ov tests stressful. you might not be having a true cyle this time, because its so close to you coming off your pill.you might be though, so keep going! if its like the first one, then you are fertile. get the sperm in there for when an egg comes!you an get the pre-ewcm for about 5 days efore ewcm. some women dont get ewm at all; so then the last day of creamy is fertile.

is that ok?

hiya ladies,

I was told by a friend that its best not to do the deed all the time, as the sperm dilutes ( cant think of a better word!) is this the case? or is sperms at its best potency all the time they ejaculate? sorry sounds so matter of fact, but dont know how else say it!!!

thanks x x

in my experience, it took a few months for the pill effects to leave my body. ds1=4 months ttc, ds2 =5 months ttc.

mybe you dont get ewcm? what your getting now is fertile have you checked your cervix, too? if your fertile, it will be high.how are you checking your CM? i find it more effective having a rummage round for it iyswim?

for fifilou!
