Mango - yes, probably a lot of little things can contribute and if there is already a problem then you really don't want anything getting in the way. I have heard zinc is good for sperm. Is your hubby on any vitamins?
It is Monsanto corn that Is the problem because they use a genetically modified corn that kills sperm. Unfortunately, corn producers do not label where the corn comes from so there's no way of knowing if yours is 'safe' unless you buy organic. And I am sure the corn used in chips and such is not organic! It sucks... So many chemicals in our food and we don't even think about it until we TTC. I am glad you're still trying because you never know when a miracle could happen!
Newlyweds - sorry you are jealous of my early O! At least when you were not TTC you didn't have to deal with AF as much. I have awful PMS and AF so I always hated having short cycles. Now I am thankful! Unfortunately, I do not think there is any way to shorten your cycle... Unless a thyroid disorder or some other hormonal imbalance was causing you to ovulate late.
I am CD10 already, had some EWCM today and am going to BD tonight! I am feeling (overly) optimistic about this cycle and just can't wait! We are also trying some acupressure techniques this cycle as they supposedly can help fertility and It helps us to feel like we are doing something. So sorry about your BFN but it is still so early. Good idea to wait til 12 DPO to try Again. Good luck!
