We actually have been to the Dr. regarding our issues....I seem to be fine (I ovluate every month and I'm very regular), but I did have chronic cervicitis for a while. She even did a biopsy done to rule out cancer....which I do not have, thankfullyMy husband on the other hand, has low motility. To be honest, my OBGYN didn't really say much more about that, other than "tell him to stop drinking as much caffeine" (he worked midnights). We really wanted to have a child naturally, because to be honest, we don't want to put ourselves through all the meds, injections, etc... More and more, I think maybe we should see the specialist. I just don't even know what to do anymore. To medicate, or not medicate.....that is the question.
P.S., AF is due tomorrow and I'm feeling more and more like she is comingThis makes me sad.
Hello and welcome to the newbies! I am CD 17 today and didnt get a positive opk but I'm wondering if the test kit is expired since it said it was only good for 30 days at it day 40? Not sure but we have still been dtd every other day and today started everyday for the next 3 days. I really do think it's not going to happen for me until I stop trying, I think I'm stressing myself out
That is so weird they expire after 30 days. What brand is it? Maybe you can pick up another type for this cycle. I got the clearblue digital this month after I ran out of first response. I really like the CB digital better than trying to decipher two lines on FR but they are $$$
I hear ya on the stress thing. I wish I could stop thinking and stressing about it but it's impossible for me. I'm a worrier by nature. The good news is I think it's only major stress like losing a job or home that can affect TTC.
That's great news and great timing! So far no updates with me. Still just sitting in this two week wait with no symptoms. I'll probably start testing on Monday, but knowing that's still probably too early. I'm inpatient
Hello....mind if I join you?? I am 33 years old and trying for 2 years for #1. Currently, I am in my TWW (AF will most likely be rearing her ugly face on Sunday) and I am becoming more and more pessimistic
Unless you know he has a sperm issue, it is probably okay. If not, you know not to wear the poor guy out next cycle! 
Sloan- If your positive OPK was Saturday night, you could O anywhere from 12-48 hours later is my understanding. So it might be the safe bet to schedule one last session in? BUT that being said, it is looking more and more like I 'O' before the OPK shows a positive LH surge. The LH is just late getting to the 'pee stream.' I had an ovulation confirmation on my OvaCue on Wednesday and even though my OPKs were getting noticeably darker, they were definitely NOT positive until 11 pm Wednesday night after OvaCue already confirmed my O. I asked the OvaCue specialist about it and she said it is not uncommon at all. For some women OPKs detect too late. OPKs work for some people and for others they just don't. Also, OPKs are only showing you 'that moment.' You could have had a positive OPK earlier that day. When OPKs say that women get their surge in the afternoon, they cannot possibly know that. Every woman is different.
So basically... what I am saying is that 'most likely' you did O on Sunday after your positive OPK Saturday night. However, you cannot be 100% sure. If you did, it looks like your bases are covered, but another BD tonight wouldn't necessarily 'hurt.'
Also, I wouldn't worry about DH. Any sperm is better than no sperm at all!

Hi Em,
yes they are the FR OPK's and it says they expire 30 days from the date you open them? I think thats a bunch of bolona so I used them anyway and got a +opk on Saturday afternoon. I think we may have done too much BD earlier in the cycle because after the + DH sperm was all watery the next 2 days we DTD. I always start SMEP way too early and by the time I O DH is too worn out and all the good swimmers are gone! We dtd on Sept, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, and I think I might need to do it again tonight? but that would be 5 days in a row! I messed up because I assumed the OPK's were not working but they actually were. So now what should I do? If I got a +opk on Saturday does that mean I O'd on Sunday?
I am 35 and due to see my OBGYN in January 2013 if we haven't conceived. See, we already got lots in common!!!
I have PCOS and irregular cycles, although my meds have made the last two cycles much shorter! Thank goodness! We have been trying since April, but this is only my 4th cycle since then. Really hoping we can get that BFP before my OBGYN wants to see us to discuss other options.
