    Another positive opk today (that's the second day). I guess that means I've not ovulated yet?
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Hi everyone! I've missed so much!!! I've been trying to stay away until I had anything new to report. Sorry everyone is having a rubbish time of it this month :(

    Sexymouse - What a lovely tribute to Poppy that will be :heart:

    Milliebob - Glad things are moving for you! Fingers crossed your hubby can get his appointment sooner x

    Today I am CD65 - I have had slight spotting the last few days (which I've never had) but still no AF and doesn't feel like she is coming.

    I was back at the doctors today, she did a pregnancy test and it was negative (no surprise!) and has taken bloods to test for ovulation. She said because I've not had AF it's hard to test for as they usually test on day 21 so I've got an appointment to go back in 4 weeks to get more bloods then she'll assess the 2 tests and see what she comes up with.

    In the meantime she has said that hubby should make an appointment to get his sperm tested "just to make sure everything is swimming in the right direction" since I'm having all my tests done anyway. Is that something that the do at the docs on appointment?

    BD'ing every 2nd/3rd day but feels a bit pointless.

    Hug and baby dust to everyone xxxx

    Clarabell DH and I both went to the docs together to ask for referral for tests, and a week later DH got a letter from the hospital to phone for a sperm analysis appointment (3 month wait at our hospital!!). You do the 'sample' at home and then take it straight to the hospital at your appointment time, as they have to test it 'live'.

    Thanks Millie! I wasn't sure but thought it may have been along those lines. We are registered at different surgeries so my doctor said he would need to go to his own doctor and explain the situation and they should get him tested but that was all she said. 3 months is such a long time to wait, I hope it can be brought forward for you xxx

    What a lovely way to remember your little Poppy, Mouse!

    MancMama, I read your post wrong and thought it said you'd be rifling through your OH's drawers for a sock to pee on, haha! You definitely don't want to be doing that!

    Hope you get some answers soon Clarabell!

    Clara, that's good things are moving forward with the tests...hopefully you'll get some answers soon! We're planning on speaking to the docs in May if nothing has happened...it's looming ever closer!

    Mouse - guessing that would mean ov is imminent! I've never had two positive opks but it all depends on the time you test and when you ov I think...get BDing!

    Also, can I be moved into the awaiting ov list, CD9

    Hi ladies, I didn't want to say anything too quickly after my very early miscarriage in January, but I got my bfp last week. :D

    I've taken a couple more tests and seen the progression with the line getting darker. Plus the digital test I took today shows 3+ weeks.

    I look forward to the rest of you getting your bfps too.
    Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!
