Hi Ladies...

Sorry for being so scarce... it's been really hectic here @ work!

MW2B - hi doll! I'm still on the Clomid train... sigh
Cycle1... a nyc big follie, but BFN!
Cycle 2 - rest cycle
Cycle 3... well... just nothing! no mature follies! :cry: so FS put me on Duphaston for 10 days to bring on AF so I can get started on Clomid again this cycle.
This will be ny 3rd month taking Clomid, and I'm not sure how long this is going to continue...
If nothing happens after this clomid cycle, will have to ask what's going on, and to re-look at my situation.
I am kind of getting impatient now :blush:
I was so hopeful and positive that the clomid would do the trick, but it doesn't seem to be working so far :dry:
MW2B - you've started on Clomid again... how are things going so far? wat cd are you on at the moment?

Hello to every! else, and welcome to Hopeful

Any new BFP's?

Tracy - are you still TTC?

Hi Andy, thank you so much for the info, yip that was pritty much the same here I live in Namibia so the staminogro is even more expensive here and as mentioned he actually had a decrease in his count after taking it ( not that I am saying that this was the cause mearly that it did not help ) we also said that its not worth the money.

It would be great to hear your feedback on the hemp oil not that I think I will be able to get my hubby to drink it but its good to know :cheer:

It is so frustrating as there is no real answer to why an SA is so low and also not much they can do and then ofcourse it takes three months to know if there is any improvement soo freaking frustrating.

I wish you and your DH all the best in your jouerney :) thanks again for the info

Eish, Carmen, you and me both hey!! :laugh:

Hopeful, no problem at all. I must actually change my signature probably. C was on the Staminogro up until he retested the first time. There was a very slight improvement in the count, but probably only because he had a prostate infection when he tested the first time and that was cleared up by the second test. So because there was no great improvement on the Staminogro, he stopped taking it.

He has since started drink Hemp Seed Oil. Absolutely disgusting stuff and I wouldn't drink it even if you paid me, but apparently it's packed full of all the stuff that's needed for sperm production. We skipped the last SA he was supposed to do, but he's scheduled to go for another in November. So then we'll see if all the Hemp Oil promises hold up.

Point is, for the amount of money you spend on Staminogro every month, it doesn't do what everybody says it's supposed to do. Some people swear by it, but it didn't work for us.

Hope that helps.

Hi there every one, I am really sorry to just fall into this thread.

Andy I am really sorry if this to personal and please you do not need to answer. But my husband has a low sperm count and was on Staminogro for a while and then was retested but the results where lower than initially and he then stoped taking them and does not want to go for a follow up test. Have you seen any increase/results from the Staminogro

Sorry again for just falling into this thread. I wish every one the best of luck on their journey.
