    Have you both had some fertility testing done? As with many medications, the effects can be different for different people. Dilantin may effect sperm quality for some men, but others find they have no problems with fertility.

    Since it has been about two years, if you haven't already, I would look into some testing for both of you to rule out other possible causes that may need to be addressed. You can also speak with the reproductive endocrinologist to determine your options and how best to proceed.

    Hi pple1,

    Yes, it is likely that you will still get a positive at first as it can take a bit of time for the hormone associated with pregnancy (hcg) to go down.

    If a miscarriage is suspected, it is a good idea to consult your doctor or midwife for an exam so that a determination can be made.

    Yes, it is possible. See what happens when your period is due for December and take a pregnancy test if necessary.

    If I had my period nov 12 and ovulated around the 25 or 26 not sure but I had mucus just before I started my period so I thought it was my period but it was drops of blood enough to fill a panty liner but not enough to have a heavy pad which I am always heavy then after like 6 days I still had mucus all the way through the bleeding and after and now its December 22 and I still have mucus does that mean I'm pregnant because I have had negative test and today to?
