TTC 2024 Babies 🍼🤰🏻🌟🍀🤞🏻💕

@LetsGo36 that's really rough. Sorry for your loss - it's not a great club to be in. I think quite a few of us are still here from the beginning. Just not much to report ha!

@LetsGo36 aw sorry to hear that hope you're ok 💔🩷

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well. I was on this thread a few months ago and then joined January 2024 babies, but I’m now back as we have had a MC at 8 weeks. We won’t be trying for at least another 6 weeks but wanted to say hi and mark my place here xx

@lottieb92 crazy isn’t it! He’s got to do another test so we will see if the changes we make help! I am intrigued to see the report though for a bit more detail!! Thanks for your advice, really put my mind at ease ❤️

@ShanTTC22 my OH also the same, healthy, fit under 30 / but lifestyle tweaks such as less peloton, not hot showers / baths / no phone in pocket laptop all that jazz seemed to help!

he also was on a course of antibiotics before his analysis which they say can knock out sperm count for a while!

and finally could just be a dodgy test result and a one off 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Call the GP for them to be emailed and fingers crossed things will look up xxx

@lottieb92 oh thank you so much!!! I will definitely get a copy of the report to see what’s actually what because they didn’t give us much detail at all!!

he has started vitamins just after doing the test so hopefully they’ll help! So surprising though as he has always been very fit and healthy! He eats well, exercises regularly, literally never drank alcohol or smoked! So was a surprise really!

wishing you luck on your journey❤️

@ShanTTC22

oh love! So sorry .,. My OH dealt with it similarly he seemed to shrug it off but I know he felt guilty/ sad and to blame.

firstly - ask for a copy of the results and see how low they really mean, it doesn’t mean you can’t get pregnant if it’s just lower than average.
so knowing the facts might ease your mind.
also consider if it’s just low count nothing else, morphology etc etc..

my OH for example was 8ml instead of the average 15 and … after 3 months of diet, lifestyle and vitamins… his are now
normal. Clearly not a guarantee but it’s something!
I’m not pregnant yet though hahah… so still got to cross that finish line x

Hey ladies

OH has had his spent analysis results back today showing low sperm count, and I’m so upset and he is very “it is what it is”. Is it normal for me to be more upset :( to be honest he’s not someone who really talks about how he feels but I know he wants this just as much as me! 💔

@Bluebell0921 thank you ☺️ I hope really hopeful for this month. As you say knowing more about the cycle/surges helps x

Hey thought I'd drop back in again. This time decided to ignore all OPKs but then took one and it was negative. My ovia app said I should've ovulated on 8th May. But test was blank - using clear blue two day one. Not sure if I'd missed the window or ovulated a bit later so I'm not feeling hopeful. Still symptom spotting with a weird pulling sensation in where I think my uterus is - really should've paid attention in biology haha!Reckon I'm about 6 or 7dpo. Anyone else madly symptom spotting? Or is it just me? 🙈

@Favofit you’ll get there lovely, I remember the first few times I tried to track I just couldn’t catch it but I got there in the end. Mine came on really quickly and went really quickly this month so very nearly missed it. If you don’t catch it, doesn’t mean it’s not happening, it can just be very easy to miss if you have a quick surge. Xx

Thank you @Bluebell0921 I'll start testing twice a day from now. Hopefully this is our month x

@Favofit I think the left line looks lighter so not quite positive yet. If you have a 28 day cycle your peak may not happen until day 14 so I’d keep testing twice a day. It says to keep inputting your results for a few days after high as it then changes to peak when it starts coming down again. No harm in BD though. Go for it.

@RegardingPersephone thank you so much for this, I didn't realise that. I guess today and tomorrow should be our days to BD. Baby dust to everyone x

@Favofit The line should be the same colour as control or darker. On your pic it looks the same colour so this could be your peak. Not everyone gets a super high, dark peak or manages to catch it.

I'm new to tracking and unsure what is considered a high LH level on easy home testing. I just got this and thought the line was quite dark, the app still says it's low.
I am CD10 on a 28-29cycle . Tia

Lh levels seem to be starting to rise now which is in line with my previous two cycles prior to the miscarriage! Hoping I ovulate in the next week 🤞 Was very worried I wouldn't at all this month!

Can I ask how soon did you get a positive test. My period isn't due for other 7 days and both test where negative. I tested positive early on DS .

How is everyone? I'm not sure if I'm waiting for ovulation or AF sans ovulation as I've had sore boobs for four days and cramps so bad I tested for a UTI (negative). Hoping whichever it is comes soon to put me out of my misery!

Nothing here yet, not going to get to discouraged though.

good luck testers x

@ShanTTC22 thanks very much. I was expecting it to be fair. Just got to get on with it I suppose! I'm going to give it one more cycle then I will be heading to the GP

@lottieb92 thank you lovely I will ❤️ fingers crossed for you ❤️

@LucyLoopyLu sorry to hear your period came too, take care ❤️

Just got my period too.
Cycle 12 day 1

@ShanTTC22 so sorry to hear, take care during AF we will be here when you start next cycle! Know the feeling well 🌷

I am (I assume) 8/9DPO… testing tomorrow because I always do luckily it’s before Pilates class so no time to dwell 🥲 not sure if I have anything worth using though just cheapies! And a CB early, which I never like 🤣

good luck others testing this is my cycle 20 🥲

It was AF! Hello again cycle day 1 ☹️😢
