I thought I was getting crazy. My period usually comes around CD26 to CD28. Last period did not come until CD39. I could not believe it. I spent so much money on pregnancy tests. Every single test came back Negative and I was having these pregnancy simptoms. I was testing almost everyday at one stage and visualinsing a second line somewhere. I nearly made an appointment to see a Dr. but I decided to wait. Eventually my period showed up and went. Today I am on CD6 and confused about my ovulation day Lol. Who said getting pregnant is easy?

Hang in there and fx for your it is quite possible you have ovulated slightly later than you thought? dont forget it can take anywhere from between 3 to 10 days i think for the egg to implant sending you and lots of sticky baby dust

Grey Eyes,

Hi! Saturday, I stumbled across this product -

https://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com...one-cream.html

What do you think of about this cream and would you try it?

Grey Eyes,

I'm so sorry your appointment with your doctor is for such a sad reason. Bless you. I'll be thinking about you.

I've wondered if my Progesterone was where it should be at all times, too. Since my hormones, especially my testosterone, is always out of whack, I thought that maybe the Progesterone wasn't high enough to help me become pregnant.

Our RE is a wonderful doctor, but he so good that he is stretched thin. I am really tempted to try this cream but then I'm overly cautious, at the same time. I've always had regular periods and am afraid of doing something to cause them to suddenly become irregular now. (I've been having a 28 to 32 day cycle.)

I hope you will ask your doctor what he thinks about the cream. I don't see my RE until December 16th.

Great to "meet" you, Grey Eyes! I'll be 38 in August 2012.

Girls, please jump in to the forum and you might get more responses...we don't bite. LOL

As for the progestoerone cream, if you have regualr cycles, I wouldn't try it without the recommendation of your doc. TBH, OTC cream will most likely not be strong enough to do a lot of good.

Hello, Ladies,

I posted this research on the "Spouses With Low Sperm Count" Board. I was hoping that by reposting the information here, it might be helpful to more of us still trying to conceive.

"Good Evening, Ladies! Two posts ago, I wrote that my DH had two cavities and a tooth that had to be pulled because he let a cavity go too far. I was wondering if, after getting that bad tooth pulled, we might see some improvements.

Ironically, I searched the internet for days trying to find a link between tooth problems and sperm defects. Couldn't find anything. This evening, I was searching for ways I could help improve the volume of DH's ejaculate. (The last two or three weeks, his amount didn't seem as much as usual.) Instead of finding that, I came across just what I was looking for about oral health and ttc.

What I found was just so interesting that I wanted very much to share it with all of you. I'm hoping that it may prove valuable to you all.

Oral hygene linked to male subfertility?
If the man in your life has male factor issues that are interfering with production of healthy sperm, you might want to check his dental health. This new article from iVillage indicates that dental health may play a part in keeping out infections that can affect sperm health.

Subfertile men have reduced reproductive capacity. Subfertility can be caused by many factors including a bacterial infection in the male reproductive system. Directed antibiotic therapy alone may not offer a permanent cure. This is because oral bacteria may reinfect the reproductive system when they are intermittently released into the blood stream during gingival bleeding. Indeed, the bacteria present in the semen (called bacteriospermia) or ejaculate of infected patients are often identical to common intraoral bacteria. Escherichia coli can reach the male reproductive organs via the circulatory system and reduce sperm motility (Linossier et al. 1982). Bieniek et al., (1993) found that the presence of bacteria in sperm was eliminated when dental cleanings and directed antibiotic therapy were both prescribed. Improvement in sperm motility, morphology and density has also been noted after subfertile males participated in regular dental cleanings (Ensslen et al. 1990).

Bieniek et al., (1989) suspects a direct causal relationship between dental diseases and asymptomatic bacteriosperms, which probably leads to subfertility.


Dr. C. Matthew Peterson, fertility specialist, adds “One investigative group has raised the possibility that intraoral bacteria may be a source of recurrent bacterial contamination of the sperm. Further work will determine the actual relationship of intraoral bacteria and bacteriospermia.”

Hope this information will prove helpful!"

Dachsundmom,

Thank you for commenting on the Progesterone Cream. Just what you wrote about the cream is exactly what has kept me from ordering it and trying it. I am so blessed and thankful to have regular cycles and am so hesistant to do the slightest thing which could disturb them. I don't want to become desperate and end up doing more harm than good.

I love the pictures of your Dachsunds. They are one of my favorite breeds. My husband and I have 15 indoor cats. It wasn't intentional to have 15 of any pet right now. Our neighborhood has lots of cats and dogs left to roam and fend for themselves. We especially have an abundance of cats. They migrate to our house, and it seems we've become the home from unwed mothers. LOL! I do believe they have the house "marked."

I can't turn them away and then become attached to mamas and babies. We love them all very much and talk about spoiled!

In his previous marriage he was told he may have poor nsperm motility (not all swimming right direction )
I have had my bloods and I am fertile . Anyhow he has been taking zinc vitamins and tribulous for last few months
My periods are heavy and not too regular
But this time I am 10 days over I have been clamping for the last 15 days headaches as I normally get when due on
Very very tired
Cramping stopped now but has been replaced with lower back ache very dull and achy . Today my nipples are a bit sensitive
I did a first response pregnancy test on the 8th missed period day in the evening but it was negative
Please help and enlighten me
Thanks 😜
