I don't know, they took blood to test for all sorts but presumably pregnancy is in there. I keep googling people who got negative urine tests but positive blood tests, I can't help myself!! The thing is I think I'd be starting to feel rough and tired by now as I'd be coming up for 6 weeks. I don't know why I'm entertaining the idea, lol!!!!

I don't think it hurts to hold out some hope, swish - not everyone has symptoms in early pregnancy. And definitely ask your doctor to make sure they tested for a pregnancy next time you're there.

I will, I'm going back on thurs to get the results, I'm a bit nervous!

That's true, she did hurt her feet. I hope she's okay. Maybe she's just getting pampered!

I was wondering about purple driving home from work today. I hope she's ok, I know she was having a rough time. {hugs} if you read this purplepoet!

swish - I was going to ask when your tests would be back. I hope they bring positive news or that you ovulate or AF arrives instead. {hugs} to you too.

mocha - that would be so cool wouldn't it?!

DH has been releasing twice a day since cd3, so today is the 8th today (apart from 2 days when he only managed once - Legoland evening and this morning when he left for work at 4am!). I asked him if it was starting to become difficult and he said no! So I've decided to give him a licorice root each evening until I O. It's probably too late to do much good but perhaps it'll help and I didn't give it to him before because I didn't want it to get in the way of frequent releasing.

Do any of your DH's take cranberry or aspirin? My DH has so far been taking aspirin but I ordered him some cranberry because his pH is so ridiculously high and I thought they might do a better job of that. I'm slightly concerned about how 'healthy' they are though - any thoughts on that? I also only gave him 1 pill (10,000mg equivalent) but I wonder whether he should have 2 or 1 plus an aspirin. I think I'll give him 2 the night before our attempt regardless.

I'm so nervous that we haven't done enough (between us) to lower fertility - with him still merrily doing you-know-what and me oozing with EWCM - that I feel like I'm just going to pull out all the stops to NOT get pregnant. I also think I'm ovulating from the right hand side and I know that theory is completely unproven but it still makes me uncomfortable. I know this sounds odd but if I don't do Rephresh/Aci-jel/Sylk/JAD and we get pregnant first month with a boy I'll blame myself. Does that sound crazy?! Our attempt IS going to be on O day so my theory is that whilst we're doing everything we can to reduce the amount of sperm which might make it to the egg, at least there'll be an egg there waiting!

Wow - your dh is quite the stud, Z! I always thought my dh had a strong sex drive, but even he gets tired by the time our attempt rolls around...and he's only releasing once a day!

I wouldn't worry too much about the healthiness of the cranberry - it's been an IG staple for a looooong time, and lots of people have gotten their desired gender while taking it.

I think on your first month trying, you might as well go all out and do the whole shebang...as long as you're ok with not getting pregnant the first month. I've been stripping away parts of my sway each month - last month I dropped the Sylk, this month I'm dropping the Rephresh. If we don't get pregnant this month, I might drop either the Vitex/Saw Palmetto or the frequent BD, as I'm starting to worry that dh's sperm count is too low to get me pregnant after releasing 7+ days in a row. He is 37, after all....

I imagine I'll be following the same route mocha! So funny about my DH, I'm just happy that I'm not having to control this aspect of it (he's taking it into his own hands - literally!) because it's helping me to relax and not be controlling on at least that aspect! He's being quite good really as he's also happily choking down the pills I'm suddenly shoving under his nose! Thanks for the advice on the cranberry.

**swish** · August 30th, 2011, 03:27 PM

I agree, z, I think you should go all out for the first month and gradually drop things, I've dropped it all practically, lol! Also I don't think you should give yourself a hard time,i think you have done SO much!
Pp, I hope you're ok, x
