On another note I'm cycle day 30, I'm usually 28-29 days, this is my first month back charting so I've no clue what my usual LP is but I'm 14dpo today, haven't tested since Tuesday when it was still neg, I'm convinced it hasn't happened and that I'm just a day late so I have not ran out to buy more tests, (although I have ordered a set of IC O's and PT's for next month) temp is still above cover line but no word of a lie I've had dull cramps on/off since ovulation and I'm now starting to wonder if it might be the pregnacare conception supplements, anyone else had any problems with those type of things?

Flourishing just have to whip out all your best moves for the next 3 nights, keep him on lockdown lol
Plus I always try for evenings as that way your not getting up and the magic stays some what 'up there!!' tmi but effective lol Grin

Fridgedooropen · 13/08/2015 01:06

Flourishing that's so frustrating. In the absence of other signals think the best guess would be to go for every other day if possible and hope for the best? Hope you are still enjoying your holiday to some extent at least.

FlourishingMrs · 13/08/2015 00:15

Oh really that's so sad. I do know two couples who conceived naturally after failed IV. It only takes one swimmer.

I believe God/Nature gives and takes life so we are not in control. XX is right what will be will be. Ion the other hand have run out of OPK sticks my last one was a flashing smiley. I am gutted

Hello all. CD13 here, got positive OPK yesterday and DTD last night and the night before. Think I am too shattered to go for three in a row though! Hope everyone's ok

Xx I'm clueless about charts so hope someone else can advise, but I'd say wait a few more days then if still no AF test

Really sorry to read your medical news. Did they talk about any measures to help the motility? My DH had moderately low motility when checked and consultant recommended zinc, magnesium and vitamin E. Coincidence or not, about 3 months after starting them was when I got pregnant and they're supposed to kick in after 2-3 months. Worth a try? Think ICSI is the method if you were to go for IVF. In some areas you get more goes at that on the NHS than with standard IVF so that's something. Your adoption plan also sounds good. My friend adopted her two children and they are a wonderfully happy family.

Morning ladies, flourishing I hope you having a great hol, thank you all for the welcome ????
It's nice that your taking it easy and not allowing the TTC to totally consume you, they do say what will be, will be but me personally I have to wonder if the person who came up with that saying had it all already?
I think you are a very wonderful lady (morning)
to take this negative news and turn it into such a wonderful idea, adopting is such a beautiful thing to consider doing, my mother fostered children when I was a child and although difficult I know she just wanted a chance to help those children who's start in life was less fortunate.
That app to me doesn't sound like a definitive 'It won't happen' more of a case of taking a bit longer waiting for that lucky swimmer!
Maybe it's worth trying all those nutty ideas online like getting your guy to wear loose boxers instead of pants and for him not to be the cook (stay away from heat!)
Zinc supplements etc?
Worth a shot right?

I'm due AF today, couldn't be bothered testing again today as it was still BFN yesterday and I feel like I've lucked out this month, have a look at my chart and see if you think that the drop in temp could be a ID?
If it was wouldn't I have possibly gotten a pos yesterday?

Hi all. Am back from the fertility clinic. Not brilliant news.

I don't have low progesterone. (It was 60 something.) They said I definitely ovulated. AMH also fine. Follicles fine.

The problem is DH has low sperm motility. The woman said it was 'not the worst she'd ever seen', but not great, and likely to be the reason we're not getting pregnant. Some of his sperm are just 'doing nothing at all' she said. They referred us for IVF.

We said we hadn't thought about it and weren't sure it was for us, and she said you've got plenty of time to think about it but we'll start the ball rolling and you can decide after an information meeting in six weeks or so.

We've been home four hours and thinking we'd rather adopt. Bit of a shock and just processing it still.

I feel okay and so does DH, as we've talked about adopting before. Don't think it's hit us yet though. I think his stats were quite low. She was saying regular IVF might not be enough.

ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 11/08/2015 12:44

Thanks Flourishing will let you know how we get on.

FlourishingMrs · 11/08/2015 12:36

Good luck really, yes it means get get.I don't like the pressure of having to BD. we have a good BD life but that opk stresses me out.

I am sure results will be ok.

ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 11/08/2015 09:11

Flourishing hope you're enjoying your hols! I've never used ClearBlue OPKs, does flashing smiley mean get ready, get set but not yet 'go'?

I've got my appointment at the fertility clinic today to get results from my blood test and DH's swimmers test.

Wish me luck!

FlourishingMrs · 11/08/2015 01:34

Welcome XX it's a pleasure to have someone with the enthusiasm of youth to the thread. Just to let you all know that I have no thermometer, CD14 and down to my last clearblue stick, day 3 of flashing smiley

ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 09/08/2015 19:17

We've uncharacteristically managed....that should read!

ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 09/08/2015 19:16

Bon voyage Flourishing, island paradise sounds heavenly. Speaking of too early, we've characteristically we've managed quite a lot of DTD but it's only CD 9 for me. Talk about peaking too early, worried we'll run out of steam!

Don't worry X, I'm the only one sans kids yet on this thread, most are trying for their second or third I think.

We've all been trying for 7-8 months plus though I think, so we're all wearing a spritz of Eau de Jaded. Please excuse.

XxbecquixX · 09/08/2015 14:48

Hya ladies, I've no right to join in with your chat really as I already have children and I'm a bit younger than advertised but I started trying last month and the tedium already is killing me, I've been reading your posts and you guys are hilarious, really put a smile on my face.
I'm 10dpo & bfn's so far and now feel glum, knew I shouldn't have tested so early but I'm the most impatient person in the world!
In my experience the thermometer type hadn't really mattered it's the consistency of the times taking I've found to count xx

FlourishingMrs · 09/08/2015 07:38

MAJOR disaster, in our airport hotel getting ready to fly out to our island paradise and I forgot the thermometer .... How did this happen. Flashing smiley on CB too early to BD. please hold off Solid Smiley. Let me arrive and have a nap before you do. CD13 and anxious.

ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 06/08/2015 22:53

Good luck Flourishing! And enjoy your hols. Hope your destination is BFP-inducing.

CD 6 for me so still taking it easy. Boots only had digital thermometers. Boo. Will have to go on Amazon.

FlourishingMrs · 06/08/2015 20:37

The busy week is on ladies, CD10 here and on holiday from this weekend. Strechy Cm is here but no LH yet.

OP posts:
ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 05/08/2015 13:03

Great thanks reni. I'll go to a big Boots and see if they have one and if not, I'll go online.

reni1 · 05/08/2015 12:31

I think they are called basal thermometer, the normal ones aren't sensitive enough. I just got it from amazon.

ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 05/08/2015 09:37

Morning all. I'm (finally) going thermometer shopping today.

Reni as our resident science bod, do I need a certain kind of thermometer (are there different kinds?).

Assuming the types attached to a wooden plate with painted scenes of Majorca on it won't do.

reni1 · 04/08/2015 19:02

Welcome Lndnmummy, I have lots of downers too, usually around AF. Tend to feel a bit better round ov usually.

FlourishingMrs · 03/08/2015 22:37

Welcome Lndmummy, it's a pleasure to welcome you on board. How is your CM this week?

We are looking forward to our new movie

ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 03/08/2015 12:52

Oops just noticed your username, guessing you have DC already! Blush

ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 03/08/2015 12:51

Lndnmummy welcome. Just in time to help us cast for our TTC film, Groundhog Month.

We're a silly but supportive bunch as you can see, holding onto our sanity by the skins of our teeth.

Do you have any DC already or trying for your first?
