@Chanti - They say that you should wait a year and if nothing happens it gets classified as infertility. But I would probably not wait so long.

Has anyone used conceive plus? I think I will get that for this cycle. My DH has sperm - just not alot. And as my doc said it only takes one, but the other millions is needed to cheer that one on. I was wondering if this might help get that one to the eggy.
And seeing that I am not buying OPK's - I will try conceive plus.

@ninies - Thanks for the links! The driving bit is also quite worrying as DH spends quite a few hours in the car driving to different job sites.

How long would you ladies wait before going to the doctor for a checkup? Would you wait a full year or maybe start investigating earlier at about 7 months?

@Chanti - Yes I definitely think it could have an effect. As the below article states - mens testes are outside the body for a reason - they need to be in a cooler environment to produce healthy sperm.

www.babycenter.com/404_should-we-steer-c...o-get-pre_1336309.bc

Overheating of the scrotum – one of the common causes of low sperm count. Hot baths, saunas, and electric blankets can overheat sperm producing cells in the testicles. Exposure to heat in the work environment. Using a laptop on your knees (heat produced by battery) has been proved to increase scrotal temperature. Long hours driving or sitting. Tight underwear or trousers, or constantly keeping legs crossed/pressed together can trap heat. - See more at: www.fertility-health.com/causes-of-low-s...sthash.8qXdQXHw.dpuf

I will get him to bath in cooler water, maybe something will happen then.

Hey Ladies,

Having a very blah day today.

@ninies - My hubby has baths everyday for the same reason although not that hot. Do you really think it could affect it? Wouldnt it be more of a problem if the temp of his testes was raised for a long period and not just a few minutes?

@Tanzie - POAS hun!

@Nicci - The only way to find out is to POAS but with such irregular periods at the moment it may just be a little late. Hoping that its a BFP for u!!

AFM, CD21, feeling normal and not symptom spotting at all, kind of not thinking about it...

@ Ninies my hubby usually showers but for the last few weeks he has bathed a lot. Luckily he does not like hot water of soaking.

@ Tanzi & Nicci FX for that BFP this month!

Not much happening on my side. CD30 for me today. No signs of AF as yet. Been feeling very bloated the last couple of days. And i have been having dull cramping as well. I constantly feel wet (TMI) downstairs as if AF is there but when i check nothing.

Definitely not getting my hopes up as i know Fertomid messed me around the previous cycle. Will patiently wait for AF this weekend and if not here by Tuesday i'll test.
