Congrats @soffphie !
Don’t worry, a line is a line. Mine was really light on Thursday, tested yesterday and came up really dark really quickly.
Test again in 2/3 days if you need confirmation.
I know how hard it is to relax about it but you’ve got to try.
Sorry to those that are out. Baby dust to all
@chattychar1990 enjoy your holiday!

Firstly, thanks to all who sent me a congrats on here 
19th cycle and i can get pregnant
3 months after changes made to DH's supplements
so, firstly in 2ww i felt no symptoms at all really. I would say this is what i noticed:
1. i didnt have any cramps, i usually do every cycle, in very early stages.. it just dawned on me near end of 2ww then of course i got some so i quickly went back to well that was false hope!
2. for some reason at 6 dpo i decided to do a cervix/cm check and it smelt period'y
3. for some bizzare reason saturday i had ewcm! i never get that even when your supposed to!!
4. i had yellow cm and ruled myself out
5. i had cramps near end that were std af'ish but not quite same just meh cramps that gave me plenty of indication about to come on anyway..
6.last Thursday + i was just having 'hot flushes' id be suddenly bloody boiling (thats stayed entire time since Thursday its only 20 outside feels like 25+) and a bit dizzy with it, again of course you think is it? and i was like nooo it is hot and im in a hot car stop it
and thats it? as symptoms go..?
regards to 'did differently'
erm.. we tried for a long abstinence, we did try friday because we just got a bad sperm result saying all are dead so i got frustrated and said we need to get rid of dead sperm now- we did but he couldnt perform so Fridays was a 4g preseed, self insemination job!
saturdays is the one my husband favours to be 'the one' it was natural and only a swipe on finger on cervix of preseed
sundays was standard 1-2g preseed and go, i think sundays was too late so ill also guess fri or sats was the one lol..
I was on Guafenesin from cd:10 - the friday of first tries
*cant believe i ovulated day i got surge!*
also, wasnt as i imagined it to be - lol - finding out, i woke at 6.40 took temp and did think yeh temps a bit high im ganna test went back to bed till 6.45 and at 6.45 i had to tell myself its ok to not be pregnant you know its not possible bla bla bla.. i saw the test and i just couldnt even cry .. i imagined me crying and being so happy i felt just shock. plain simple shock, even now it just dont feel real at all!!! really it dont. i went straight in bedroom and sed yeh erm apparently im pregnant and he was like let me see test bla bla blaaaa actually got happy then kept saying to him im sorry i shouldnt have told you as its probably false, its just a mental experience and not how i pictured it at all!
@chattychar1990 glad gives you hope, it was 3 months after changes made so it really does seem to be 3 months is when you see a difference i never believed it could be so long
@Kitana really trying!! been so anxious and unable to sleep - keep going to the loo and slowely looking at toilet paper, husbands also like 'everything good' all day sunday and this morning. ahhh! also, it is normal to get cramps right?
@Niknaknoo i have read not to look too much into tests getting darker, i am too scared to do another test, im too scared to go to doctors etc as well tho - it is normal right?

So we got D’s sperm results back this morning. He has above average volume (154 million sperms! :O), concentration and morphology but low motility. Oh dear. He has to make an appointment with the GP to discuss his results apparently.

@SockVortex - i just found this on google for you:
'A study in infertile men showed that taking 1,000-mg vitamin C supplements twice a day for up to two months increased sperm motility by 92% and sperm count by more than 100%. ... Taken together, these findings suggest that vitamin C may help improve fertility in infertile men suffering from oxidative stress' xx

I know it sounds awful but I do think it’s coz you had kind of given up. I def noticed a change in you. I fell pregnant the month I just accepted it wasn’t going to happen for potentially a while. I think that mental change does make a difference.

@soffphie Yes cramps are normal in the beginning. Your uterus is expanding and can get quite annoying since the dull cramps can last hours on end.
I also conceived on a relaxed cycle, I think it does help your body in producing less cortisol and getting pregnant easier.
Now try to relax hun! It's easy for me to say but if it isn't meant to be then it isn't meant to be and there is nothing you can do about it so it doesn't help worrying about it! Enjoy the coming 9 months!
It really does prove that sperm analysis is to be taken with a grain of salt, it only takes the one!
