    Hi Cony,
    My DH has been taking menevit for the past few months since we found out about his low sperm etc.. It made a significant diference... But still not the difference we need, but def give it ago. If your like me you will try anything.
    Ok so i got "p" 21st, 2 days ago so in a couple of days i will be starting Clomid for the first time, Any suggestions of when to take it, I have had every sight effert possible from the metformin, especially the mood swings ( my poor hubby ) So i will do anything to try and limit them now .

    Hi Frustrated and ladies,

    We have tried menevit, but you know men if you don't put it down their throat they won't take it.

    I will give the zinc and vitamin C a go, i'll just have to remind him every day.

    As for the clomid goes i have taken my first cycle at night as the girls suggested and seem to have no side effects. Thanks for the info.

    I am on day 18. Man this feels like the longest month of my life. I hate counting the days. I try not to do it but end up doing almost everday.

    I hope you are all ok.

    Good luck

    Hi Girls, just dropping by to check in on everyone!

    tammara, is af here yet?

    Hello to all the new girls

    I have not been on in a while because work has been crazy...on my side of things, STILL WAITING FOR AF!!!!! I am on day 39!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If I calculate based on my last cycle it should arrive Sunday...I am ready for my next round of clomid.

    Last night I got really depressed and cried because of how much weight I had gained in the past three months...My clothes don't fit, and I have resorted to wearing everything that is stretchy and baggy around the belly...I just wish everything was not so complicated...I am not trying to be negative but yesterday was just one of those days when I was tired, I worked out so hard, and then had soup and chicken breast for dinner, and still no period and my jeans don't fit - so it all exploded...

    I know that there are many women with worse situations, and I am strong and will deal with mine, but I just got sort of exhausted yesterday...My husband just held me while I cried and did not know what to say to me...I know that when I do finally have my baby, that I will be so so so so happy and grateful...

    Anyway, I am feeling more positive today and I am just hoping to have a happy spring announcement soon

    For those of you dealing with your guys having to take vitamins etc...I think it is best to sit them down and explain the importance of them being in on the "team"...I told my husband that for OUR baby I was watching what I eat, I quit alcohol, cola, everything with fake sugars, cut carbs etc...and that he has to simply take vitamins until conception...where as I have to continue taking care of myself until I am done breastfeeding...When you put it like that to hubby, he will put in the effort he should, once he realizes how much more you have to do physically

    I believe that the guys get sort of lost and hopeless in all this stuff sometimes, so just stress the importance of the vitamins, quiting smoking, limiting alcohol and all of the other things that you need in order to ensure that your baby has a good start...Once conception happens, he can go back to his old ways if he really feels the need to...

    Anyway girls, sending all of my love and babydust to all!

    Good afternoon everyone

    I am still waiting for AF, to be honest i really dont know when to expect it to arrive. im hoping it wont take long for things to get back to normal (as normal as it can get) so i think it is just a matter of wait and see. I have tried to not think about it as much. Although saying that i did have visitors on the weekend with a 6 month old baby - was pretty hard at first but i think it was good in the end, sort of made me get over losing the baby more.

    Good luck all
