    Confused Oh and antidepressants

    This is a question for atomic, or anyone else who may know the answer.
    Ive not had any luck ttc the last 4 months even though with my 1st 2 children we conceived straight away..... def been dtd at the right times but just not catching...could the fact my oh is on antidepressants be the reason we are not conceiving ? Could they be affecting his sperm count or something?
    TIA

    There are a lot of factors to consider first: when are you DTD, are you doing anything to see if you're ovulating, how much are you eating, etc.?

    I'd have you guys go to e4d plus one at pos OPK and see what happens.

    Is he doing anything like hot baths or tighty whiteys?

    No he hasnt been doing anything to help the sway as he doesnt know we are swaying! Hed prob think im nuts if i told him haha
    Heres what ive done to try help with swaying pink :

    Cut back on salt, not adding any at all to food (i would usually cake it on)
    Stopped drinking squash, now only having water or cans of diet pepsi/diet coke
    Having alcohol more often (usually vodka/diet pepsi)
    Cut out red meat & having some chicken breast only
    Cut back on snacking as im a bit of a grazer
    Skipping breakfast everyday
    Cut down on the cups of tea i used to drink
    Only supplement im taking is 800ug of Folic acid
    Stopped eating bananas
    Was doing one attempt at positive opk but last month done ev4d but was cheeky and ended up dtd twice, once 4 days before O & 2 days before O (first day of +ve opk)

    I would try going to e4d plus one attempt at positive OPK.

    e4d should not end up being 4 days before O though - that's slim odds of conception. O-3, O-2, O-1, O Day are all ok days for attempts, with O-2 adn O-1 best results for conception.

    If this is your last month I'd have you in with two attempts - either e4d plus one more attempt at pos OPK, OR e3d if you can't tell when pos OPK is.

    Your sway looks great to me (although I no longer think salt or bananas help at all) and it's the laid back ones that are successful!! Do the doable!!
