I am also 5 dpo! I don't know what to do with myself while I wait. I'm constantly talking myself out of poas! Okay so I sort of lied but not really because I do have to talk myself out of it...I poas 2 dpo and 4 dpo :) I knew it would be - but I had to! I buy my tests in bulk so I don't feel guilty for unnecessarily taking them. Right now I don't have any symptoms that I don't normally have. This is cycle #9 for us and probably not the last one either :( Anyway DP and I agreed on testing 9 dpo this cycle. As far as he is concerned, that's the only time I will be testing ;) I am going to TRY to hold off a few more days but who knows...

We started fertileaid for men a few weeks ago. I can't remember but I think it can take 3 or 4 months to get the count up, if it even helps. Hopefully soon we will have more swimmers!

Junebug100414,
I also cannot wait to start testing, I usually do 7dpo but it's always been disappointing so idk. DH gets upset when he sees all the test lol I'm planning to wait hopefullyt a little longer this month, but we'll see. I also bought a bulk of tests so i don't feel as guilty.

Our infertility problems are weird, because my hubby supposedly had low sperm count (20mil) but then went to a specialist and he told him it's normal and the other test was calculated incorrectly. Not sure how that works. Makes me nervous we don't have the best information to work with. He's doing another test in 2 weeks, hopefully this one will be conclusive! He's taking Macca Root supplements and I do think it's helping. But I heard fertileaid works very well. What's your DP's sperm count?

Make sure to post your HPT's when you take them!! Good luck!!

We honestly don't know what his count is. We did an OTC test that came out negative. A negative result meant low count. We are just going off that and past history. He had two LTR were they TTC and it didn't happen. Both women went on to have children with out any problems. I'm too scared to have it confirmed by a doctor. I made an appt for August, if it hasn't happened by then, I'll have no choice but to break down and do it. I'm just nervous that it will end our journey and any hope of conceiving.

He wants it just as bad so I like to test before we test together. That way I can kind of prepare him without telling him I know the outcome. I will definitely post my results, the ones I take at a reasonable time ;)

Good luck and baby dust to you!!!
