Thank you Chelsha. We probably not even trying hard enough. This month we only tried 4 times. But it's funny because we didn't even plan my son and got pregnant. We only had sex once that month. We just had sex. We weren't thinking babies or planing babies. I guess you just never know! (LOL)

thats a rough one to kick and so many people are effected by it since they are given out so freely.

You and your hubby are in my thoughts and hopefully very soon he will be free of this addiction and you can enjoy a new pregnancy together.

It can effect his sperm but look it up on the web and see what it says about it - its not gonna get rid of all the sperm so maybe you guys just need to do it more. Go every other day for the entire cycle and then you will be covered :)

Thats what he was addicted to- pain pills. Hes on something called soberx if I even spelled it correct. He tells me it cant effect his sperm but deep down I feel it could. All along I'm thinking its me and it just might be him.

We have had a long road with his addiction and maybe god knows he must get better first. I just know that I'm getting older & my son is getting older.

jennifer - drugs can deff effect that quality and quantity of the sperm.

Even prescription drugs can effect it. Have him go in and give a sperm sample to see whats going on.

Methadone (spelling?) to get off things like pain pills or oxicodone and or meth can greatly effect the sperm.

1. Ultrasounds or blood test to measure LH

2. Ur RE can do to the initial sperm testing and if anything majorly wrong, a Urologist is the one he would have to see

3.Ooo no idea

How does the Docter know when you ovulate? What kind of testing do they do?

What kind of Docter would my husband go to to see about his sperm quality?

We do have one son, but since then my husband had some addiction problems with medication and now he is on some drug to help him get off his addicition. I wonder if this could effect his sperm quality??

grab one on ebay or find a discounted one - the regular OPK's that you pee on are so confusing sometimes - i woulda deff bought one but we went to IUI's and IVF and the doc tells me when to ovulate so didnt need it.

Good luck, i would buy it 2day and then open it cuz once you buy it and open it you KNOW you will get that BFP this time around b4 you can use it - thats the way my life works anyway! LOL!

no it didnt work for me ,because we found out later that my husband had poor sperm morphology.but it was a great gadget coz it took out all of the guesswork for finding ovulation.also since i was using it for four months and no results it alerted me to seek medical help because we were getting the timing right and still nothing.BUT that doesnt mean it wont help you i have friends who got pregnant using this monitor.

I'll still get it anyway. I just won't tell my husband how much it costs (lol). Getting pregnant means the world to me. I guess you could understand. I am going to see my obgyn also. I could be pregnant this month, but I'm due in 7 days & I don't feel pregnant. I wish you luck also.

Thank you. I guess it will be worth it to spend the $200.00. We have been trying to conceive for 6 months. I do have a 3 year old boy- thank god.I didn't think it would be this hard to conceive again. I am 34 going on 35. I am feeling so discouraged.

the CB Fertility monitor will give you a few more days to have intercourse, which may increase your chances
