as a rule I avoid posting on this section but dh told me a couple of weeks ago that he'd been taking sperm-boosting vitamin supplements for two months and now I am 5 days late..

... so I need both some positive thoughts and also strength to help me avoid testing before the weekend.

I am in danger of getting my hopes up and I know I shouldn't.

So I must resist the urge to do a test.

before the weekend.

Clearblue already have waaay too much of my money.

Just wanted to add one more "good luck" to tip the scale to the BFP for you

coggy · 26/09/2007 12:48

Just seen all this wannaBe.......sorry that the test said bfn....and I also know what you are now going through with the test could be wrong couldn't it???
I hope you get your answer one way or another very soon (of course the BFP would be FANTASTIC!!!!)

dh was diagnosed with low sperm count just over a year ago twig, hence why taking the supplements to try and improve things for him.

Ovulatin is usually fairly easy for me to pinpoint as have pains/ewcm around that time and usually come on two weeks to the day after.

But even if I had an ovulatory issue dh' sperm count would most likely go against me anyway, and am not keen on going down the route of IVF/assisted conception.

But had just not gone back on contraception and for the most part have pretty much accepted that ds is the only child I'm likely to have. Haven't had a "pregnant" moment for ages now.

Aw sorry it wasn't the result you were expecting

Have you seen the GP about it?

funnypeculiar · 25/09/2007 20:54

sorry it wasn't good news for you this time, wannabe

Twiglett · 25/09/2007 20:51

look wannabe .. I'm not being funny but I had secondary infertility .. conceived DS in 2 months, couldn't conceive 2nd time. Its shit it really is. Consultant made me write down when period started, when I ovulated, when we had sex for 3 months .. went in with charts .. she said luteal phase defect (length between ovulation and next period was less than 10 days) take clomid .. 1 month later pregnant with DD

Am keeping everything crossed for you wannabe. Don't go and buy that puppy just yet!

wannaBe · 25/09/2007 20:47

thank you all.

It was a double pack so if no af by the weekend then maybe I will do the other test.

Twig I've tried to stay away from the charting side of things, I did for a bit, but after 2.5 years I've resigned myself to the fact it's not really going to happen, it's only times like this that I weaken.

But at least I have one ds, so I know I am incredibly lucky.

hmmm so which breed of puppy shall I get? .

Thinking of you. I had 19 months of heartache - not as long as you, but it's so painful.
