Hi :)

I posted a couple of weeks ago re: trying for a baby, comin off the pill etc.

Briefly, I never took the pill properly, had regular'ish periods.. Took the MAP on a good few occassions... In April me & my partner decided to try for another (we have a 5yo deliverd emergency csect)... Last pill was early April had 3x regular periods.. Worked out my cycle is about 30days!!?

Last period was 9th June & lasted 5 days..

Weve been 'at it' regularly to increase our chances.

I took 2 cheap pregnancy tests, 1 on Monday NEG. 1 on Friday, very faint second line :/

Bought a CLEARBLUE yesterday 'not pregnant'

Ive also had slight crampy feeling but not due on for another week or so.

Just to make things a little bit more difficult, my partner is a anabolic steroid user, in low doses. Hes been taking them for about 8 month.....

I know this can effect my partners sperm count just wondering if any1 has similar experience?

Hi hun.i dont know about the steroid so cant help there! I think you've tested a tad too early I would wait and see if your period shows and if it doesn't retest after a few days xx good luck hun fingers crossed for you xx

Oh I know hun. I lost our first daughter at 20weeks it took me a yr to get pregnant again then. When I did I miscarried again :-( then was blessed with a little girl then a boy. 2yrs.later and have just had another boy 6weeks ago. So I do know how it feels when you really want it to happen straight away but it always happens when the time is right xx keep us posted xx
