@Matildahoney its very frustrating because everyone kept saying ‘oh you’ve just been pregnant you will be more fertile it will happen quickly’ and it didn’t. While 8/9 and upto a year is classes as absolutely normal, it doesn’t feel that way month after month of BFN you know? … I also temp. That was a thing that caught my attention this month, my temps started dropping way before AF was due, almost as if the pattern was going backwards, as normally it rises and rises until just before AF. I will post my charts for your reference.
@NatGee yes I will be interested to what the SA says. Tbh I was worried I had Lowish progesterone because when I did my day 21 bloods in August it came back as 30.8 now whilst anything over 30 says strong ovulation I felt it was on the lower side, therefore I decided to start vitamin b complex on the back of something I read on here to increase it and I don’t know if that has anything to do with it

@NSx it’s because you booked the holiday!

@nsx funny how gut instinct works, male intuition might be a thing after all :D We're on our 10th cycle now, including one in which I didn't ovulate so not sure if I should count that? i'd probably be feeling a little more desperate if we hadn't gotten a puppy a few months back. It's a long while particularly when it's such a basic function of our bodies, makes you wonder what's going on?
Itll be worth seeing what your DP's SA is like? I am sure that all that dtd had something to do with it, I am firmly of the opinion that more is more!

@Matildahoney I am too about to enter my tww. We're always waiting eh? Hope this is your month xx

@NSx it's frustrating, I fell in July without really trying, I came off the pill last Jan, then had an MC in Sept, been trying ever since! Not really stressing about it, just getting to know my cycle & temping. Yeah my OH is worn out 🤣 he was glad to have a night off last night. I'm not getting any younger either so need to get a move on!

@NatGee no u did me a favour, so thank you! ❤️
listen I honestly had given up hope! My fiancé said this is our month I feel it in my bones and I was like ok whatever 😂 then it happened … we have been trying for like 8/9ish cycles so it hasn’t happened fast & I already had the conversations planned with my GP on demanding fertility investigations! what I will say is, I had a smear a couple of days before ovulation so not sure if that has anything to do with it or I’m clutching at straws, my partner also started taking new supplements this month & I started on vitamin b complex 4 weeks ago. Again could be nothing but it’s worth noting ! Also how ironic we did my partners sperm analysis on 09/02 and the results are due on Friday 😂😂😄

@Matildahoney thank u and welcome, it’s a tough road. We DTD 6 days in a row this month as I had had enough 😂 and wanted to throw everything at it 😇
