Trying for a Baby Part 7

The every other day advice is for men who know they have sperm count issues. Every other day gives the volume time to build up to a higher level, but sperm is still fresh so motility and morphology should be better. For couples where there is no such issue every day, or more often, is fine and doesn't affect your chances of success either positively or negatively.

Thanks for the reply So two or three times a day isn't going to hamper anything? I know it sounds a silly thing to worry about but it didn't realise the effect the pill had had on our sex life until it stopped!

Just been to the doctor, was worried shed be dismissive but is letting me have a blood hcg test and a fasting glucose test. She poked my belly quite a bit which really hurt, and listened to it with a stethescope but obviously didn't hear anything. Shes said if the pain in my belly gets worse then to go to the EPU
Blood tests will be back in a week, no doubt i will hve AF by then but the fasting glucose should put my mind at ease, looking at the form she's also testing my thyroid.and liver so that'll be four vials. Fun fun

Glad i went, she was lovely. I said I'm probably imagining the symptoms and she said no, you know your body best. And she was genuinely sympathetic when i kentioned the miscarriage. So I no have two favourite doctors at the surgery x x

glad you got a positive response from the GP TeamLowe. Fingers crossed the blood tests show a shy BFP

Hello all. No test today because I am convinced AF is on her way tomorrow. If she does not arrive by Saturday morning then I will test. Bored of BFNs.

I think I have EWCM. I'm on CD21 so that would put me on track for a 35ish day cycle, which sounds about right for me.

Am gutted we didn't BD yesterday now. We did on Tuesday but by the time we both got in last night it was late and we just couldn't summon the energy. Will have to make sure we make the effort this evening - although does EWCM mean I've now missed ov?

If youve got EWCM now, it could be that you are about to ovulate.

I tend to get it up to 2-3 days before, or sometimes just on the day of ov.
