@ Ninies price for the condom is R180.00 Definately worth it. I phoned and the lady explained that used as any other condom and then you throw the whole thing in the sample "bucket" and take it in for testing.
Think this is far more natural and comfortable than just going in and forcing yourself to give sperm.

@Liza - It is a very daunting task for the men. My hubby also struggled and I was also wondering if maybe that is why there were a low count when we did the sperm wash. I would also suggest him doing it at home and then take the sample to them. How much did you pay for the condom?

@Blou Sonneblom - It indeed sounds like you did O yesterday. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

@Chanti, hope you feel better today? Any spotting yet?
@LizaGrobler, shame I can imagine it could be stressful, hope everything works out for next week so the test can be done!

An update on me, I feel much better today, my BBT went up today, had the BBT dip yesterday and then my BBT went up with 0.4 °C today, so looks like I O'd yesterday :)
So now the 2WW starts... Keeping fingers crossed B)

Hi there Ladies!

@ninies - I am glad you have a direction to follow now and an appointment set up. Holding thumbs that there is a way to improve his count! Its funny how you have one child and now suddenly his count is low, usually the secondary fertility lies with the woman.

@Jay-Bee - Get that BD on girl!!

@Blou - You can Ovulate a few hours after your first OPK so it could be right that you O now.

AFM, should start spotting tomorrow... I have done so well at not getting my hopes up this cycle but last night I started getting absolutely terrified that AF arrives. I had a very detailed dream that I had a 45min preterm natural birth and had a beautiful baby boy, he was perfectly healthy and I even breastfed... It was so detailed!! I also have friends coming for the weekend and she is 12 weeks pregnant... the same friends that I said had an oopsie!

Me: 24
DH:25

@ Ninies, I am holding thumbs that the Urologist will give good news! He could also have a blocked vein or something which will be found in the sonar and treated quickly. I hate the not really knowing why we are not getting our BFP. We will try the IUI if it comes to that but nothing else as it is also just too expensive for us. Wow that's great loosing the kg well done! :rock:

@ Blou,I hope you feel better soon. Yes maybe that was the temp dip just before the ovulation rise, catch the eggy :)

Hello everybody.
I am feeling slightly off today :dry: have a headache and felt like bad bladder infection symptoms this morning but that is better now thank goodness :S
We did BD last night so hoping this cycle will be good for us, my BBT dipped slightly this morning, I thought I O'd yesterday, but maybe it will only be today, so will see what my BBT does tomorrow.
Will keep you posted ;)
