how does your dh react if your af is late?

have been ttc for just over two years. Are not actively trying any more iyswim, as dh was diagnosed with low sperm count last August so we kind of resigned ourselves to the fact it probably won't happen, even though gp said that dh is not infertile but has "limited fertility". But we are generally still active around the right times of the month, we just don't do the "gotta do it to get pregnant" thing any more.

Anyway, I am now two days late. Normally when my period is due I have some spotting on the day it's due, then this stops and I get full on af a couple of days later. But so far this month there's been nothing. Also had sore boobs until yesterday, which is normally a sign of impending af but these too have now disappeared but boobs have increased in size and nipples are erect. Not simptom spotting, am sure I'm not pregnant because.. well we've been ttc for two years so it's fairly unlikely really. but...

I have horrendous hayfever. And even though I'm sure I can't be pregnant, I'm still reluctant to take anything for it apart from my beckenays spray. Last night I was sneezing and dh got annoyed and said "fgs go and do a pregnancy test so you can get a negative and then you can take something for your hayfever". I pointed out that I don't have any tests and that although I know it's unlikely, there's still a possibility, after all we did conceive ds - no? to which he replied "well you're not pregnant". Is he psychic? or could it just be that he's beating himself up about this? he does feel that he's responsible for the fact we can't have another baby, but I've never held it against him - after all these things happen.

are your dh's sympathetic when you're late? or are they fed up of this as well now?

This: is actually what my face looks like waiting to pee. Is this how you look right now WannaBe?

whomovedmychocolate · 04/06/2007 21:27

when I'm waiting to pee - obviously. My face is much scarier

fryalot · 04/06/2007 21:27

ooh, mine looks like then if I can't get to a loo, it swiftly starts to look like this

wannaBe · 04/06/2007 21:27

Either way we will still be here.... and we want to know.

fryalot · 04/06/2007 21:28

wannabe - when will you be able to tell us the result?

whomovedmychocolate · 04/06/2007 21:29

Or squonk - that's my wet face!

I also do : DD has wee'd with her nappy off on my leg and DH has left the seat up and I've sat on a cold pan.

whomovedmychocolate · 04/06/2007 21:29

Hopefully she's leaping around right now.....

fryalot · 04/06/2007 21:34

then she'll have to get to the chemist, though.... could be hours yet.

wannaBe · 04/06/2007 21:34

bfn.

Sorry WB - I guess it's not your month this month. Take your hayfever meds and then come back and we'll cheer you up by telling you all about the horrid things about early pregnancy - I vomited seven times every day at least for thirteen weeks!

whomovedmychocolate · 04/06/2007 21:38

Can I just ask you something btw, why did you stop at the GP stage? GPs rarely know enough about fertility to be much help. My DH was diagnosed with low semen volume - but it's very concentrated. GP said I probably would have a problem. Consultant reviewed results and declared GPs diagnosis 'utter bollocks'.

Perhaps you could go back and ask for a referral?

coggy · 04/06/2007 22:27

Just seen this earlier excitement...wish I hadn't missed the build-up but sad that I have seen the result.

I took my test thinking that AF would jolly well come on straight after too!!
LOL...we have tried for so many months that we know just how it works eh wannaBe?
((((hugs)))) to you tonight.
