Hi everyone,Just a quick one cos DS is attacking the computer.
AJC - That's really great news about O and progesterone. But did he say there was anything DH could do to get his swimmers healthier? I've read something about Vit B6 and zinc?`

Ok - I've been googling "sperm quality" cos I wanted to know myself if I cant get DH to give up smoking we are going to have to combat it. This is waht I've found - Vitamin B12: Good sperm counts depend on this vitamin. Take 100 to 300 mcg daily. Vitamin C: This nutrient improves sperm quality. Take 1,000 mg daily. Vitamin E: Vitamin E increases the pregnancy rate in couples who are having trouble conceiving. Take 400 IU of natural vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) daily. Selenium: Supplementation improves sperm counts and the quality of sperm activity. Take 200 mcg daily. Zinc: A deficiency in zinc, common in Americans, is associated with male infertility. Supplementing improves sperm activity and impregnation rates. Take 50 mg daily. Arginine: This amino acid improves sperm counts. Take 4 g daily with food.

Morning ladies--POAS= I can't believe it.... I guess now that I wasted the test AF will show for sure Guess all that's left is to just wait and see what happens.

Jodsan - brilliant work re: healthy sperm research. I think it is good for DH to have something like this happen (indirectly) because hopefully he will be more focussed on taking his vitamins every day, not just 'every day he remembers'. I too have read that Vit C and Zinc are good. I think my DH needs to exercise more too. Am going to have a good search myself over the long weekend - will compare notes.

jen - good luck for testing tomorrow. Hope it's a BFP for you

plc - hmmm mood music. We made a special cd for our wedding guests with 20 of our fav songs on it so when I listen to that I kind of go all mushy mushy & sentimental.

Emmylou - am & pm, you're sure to catch the egg this month. GL

issy - are you on a clomid cycle again this month? GL, hope you catch the egg this month too.

and for everyone.

jen - Sorry about BFN - but until af arrives....
Do you feel like she's coming? Never know, might just be too soon.

[issy02]

Hi girls,

AJC - No im not on clomid this month, my script ran out so its alnatural this month for me. I do ovulate without it, so hopefully it will be ok My hormone imbalance seems to have sorted itself out, so will see how we go.

Jen - sorry to hear about the bfn...still, you never know, until AF shows up, anything can happen!!!

AFM - Im off to bed soon.... nudge nudge Lets hope we can catch this eggie!

to everyone,

Issy

AJC--The only thing I really feel right now is my bb's are still tingly. Never got that with AF before, but obviously it can't be b'cuz I'm pg, or the test would've been positive. I just wish we would've got more in when my fertile days changed on my calendar. Looking at my chart, we only BD'd 6 days out of the whole month! That's less than usual! I feel like I'm working backwards.

[AJC]

oh jen - you sound really down. 6 days is still a good shot at it, the first time we fell pg we (I'm almost embarrassed to admit) only bd once that month - once total . And the day I got the BFP for that pg I did one test in the morning which was BFN, then I did another that afternoon which was a BFP.

The heartache of it all. that's it's just too early.

I must say - my bb's never lie, each time I've been pg they have been the most obvious sign.

Morning jen...sorry about the BFN...but as you told me...remain positive and until AF arrives you just don't know! Still got my for you.

issy... on catching the eggie!

Anthonysmom...

plc1805...thank you so much for the hug!!! I truly believed this was IT...sooo many signs or so I thought.

Jodsan...Stay positive and congrats on AF...here's hoping you have a healthy cycle going forward leading ultimately to a BFP!

Mel...I can honestly sympathize with you...we'll get it next time!

To the rest of my belly buddies...*wavin* have a wonderful day!!!
