The month of valentines, pancakes and lot’s of BFP’s! 🤞🏻❤️

Low morphology not sperm count sorry!

Can anyone help! I’ve had DH SA results back and I think they’re okay ish, other than the morphology! I wondered if anyone else would have much of a clue if I sent them in the chat? Also, anyone who’s DP has had low sperm count and successfully had a pregnancy? Thank you ☺️

@Cookiedough123 I buy the ones on eBay the internet cheapies, box of 20, the ones in the shops are more expensive. I do keep a First response or two in the house, so if I see a hint of a line, i double check with that! I had a chemical back in October so used them for that! Entirely up to you, but this is what I find the best!

Just adding again as I have come off the last one.

Just been to asda ended up wandering around looking at the newborn baby clothes. Not sure about anyone else but it makes me want it so much more! I also irrationally think why wouldn't it work when I couldn't of done anything different??!

Also was looking at pregnancy tests.. I have NEVER bought a pregnancy test in my life so can someone please help on where should I start 😂 bizzare. Are asdas own any good or shall I buy some easy@home ones?

Adding myself when my period is next due.

@Mummyh14 😂

Thanks for the comments. I really didn't didn't I'd even be ovulating yet last period was 15th January. And cycle was 39 days before this. But I was feeling like I was ovulating and done the test which confirmed. So I'm hoping my cycle is back to normal now and it's worker this time. Had early miscarriage in October which made cycle to bit mental. Here goes my 2 week wait xxx

@Cmac1890 I could be wrong but an ovulation test picks up the that you’ll be ovulating in up to 48 hours. So you could have been ovulating at that very moment or up to 48hours later. So since you have been constantly at it there should be sperm waiting for the egg to come. Which means that your all good and don’t need to worry. Good luck!!

Ordered some pregnancy tests from Amazon, instead today came a little tub of sewing bobbies think it’s a sign not to test.

@HelloNope it’s not no, I have really irregular cycles and I’m not even 100% I actually ovulated, so I always test 11 days later to rule out if I can! Though my LP is actually 12 days, so AF may arrive, who knows 🤷‍♀️

@Peonies94 the 12th is the day my period is due- what about you?
I tend to spot around 6/7 days before my period so ill know this weekend whether I'm out or not- so depressing!
I'm having bloods to check my hormones on the 16th hoping for some answers.
I've only been TTC officially since Jan, but half heartedly since August I suppose! My cycles never used to be like this and I fell quite quickly with DC1 and DC2.

Fingers crossed for yours and others BFP this month! X

Huge congrats on your BFP. ❤@DancinOnTheCeiling

Can anyone help me. I got a strong positive ovulation stick yesterday. Have tender boobs and increased CM last few days. Slight cramps .

Today done another stick and it's not as positive. We had sex every day for 5 days leading up to my positive yesterday. And won't have any time with partner till tomorrow night. Do you think as today's test was negative negative I was actually already ovulating prior to my test.. if so then we had plenty sex so I'm hoping that's the case

Attached photos. First one was yesterday and 2nd today.

@RosyappleA same! On 3DPO here and on cycle 4 of TTC baby no 2.
First month seriously symptom spotted and it drove me mad so swore to not do it again. Was very good last 2 cycles but today I'm Googling if lots of CM at 3DPO mean anything, even though I know it doesn't! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh I’ve jinxed it badly with the optimistic ovulation date, it’s meant to be tomorrow and my LH reading is lower than ever … how late O be?!
Or is it likely I’ve skipped it this month 😪

Ovulated Sunday, already symptom spotting, I need help…

OMG @DancinOnTheCeiling that is a extremely BIG FAT POSITIVE!!! A Giant one! Hope you and OH got to celebrate the news last night. Can't wait to hear about it all. BIG FAT CONGRATULATIONS!!! Enjoy the moment.

[quote Mummyh14]@oldermam Honesly your not stupid for trying at 40. I think it’s a great idea to go to the doctors if it doesn’t work this month but hopefully fingers crossed for you it does.

I also think at any age it can get hard, funny enough I was just thinking the same I’m only 28 and was thinking it didn’t take as long when I was younger ( was pregnant with daughter at 20, son at 22 ). It’s been over a year of officially tracking ovulation and 5 without protection without really trying. I have two already so I’m afraid the doctor is going to tell me not to even bother having a check up but the feeling of not being fulfilled without another is eating away at me. I know there’s a lot of difference in ages and how hard it is but wanted to let you know your not alone in your worrying.

Hopefully in 10 days we will be hearing of a bfp from you.[/quote]
Thank you! It is only our fifth month. But it's never taken this long before. I think that's why it's playing on my mind.

Fingers crossed for you too!

[quote RosyappleA]@oldermam your not too old although I know the longer it doesn’t happen the more we worry. My aunt had three girls one after the other at 40 after 11 years of trying with no intervention having given up on IVF. They tried everything. The only thing she mentioned is she was less stressed by then they got a house after hears of struggling etc. I just wanna say don’t give up yet! Good idea about the fertility appointment regardless just in case there isn’t a point waiting around even though it can happen naturally…and it may take the stress off a bit that you're doing something more proactive. Have your been tracking your cycles are you ovulating? Good luck[/quote]
I'm doing easy@home opks and using the premom app. Have used it since the coil came out 6 months ago. Time is flying! I get peaks. But last month I got two. They usually peak for 2/3 days. This month it was only one day then it dropped right back down again, but I have had ovulation signs and my cycles have been 26-29 days long. Which tells me I'm still working the way I should.

We've had so much sadness since Christmas tbh I think I'm just feeling a little low. My youngest son tested positive for Covid on the weekend but was at his dads so it stuck there now for possibly ten days too. I'm missing him being around the house being cheeky,

I'm off to a new social group with my friend tonight. I'm still not back at work either and don't feel ready to go back but maybe I need to get back to shift my focus 🙈

@DancinOnTheCeiling forgot to say congratulations!

Bit late to the party but OMG congartulations @DancinOnTheCeiling - such a strong line! Is it weird that I like looking at positive pregnancy tests even when they're not mine?! Visualisation and all that?!

The @Purple29 method sounds interesting - definitely feels like it would take the pressure off a bit, DH and I DTD 12 days in a row last month and by the end it was very perfunctory!

Weirdly my period only just ended and I'm on CD8 but noticed EWCM when I went to the loo just now so was thinking of pouncing on DH when I get home just in case. Will then try and leave it until CD11 and see how we go from there. We're staying with my parents this weekend so that means CD12 is a no go at least!
