I am now 37 and have one beautiful 10yrs old boy, my partner has 2 boys 9 & 13yrs.

I bought the Hertility kit online, not yet opened it… I was going to give this cycle my last attempt before investigating 🙃

We got pregnant a year ago but due to personal circumstances we both decided to not go ahead, this I carry so much guilt over 🪃

Now we are both ready and settled in our careers and home but now it has taken nearly 6/7cycles.

today I got my 1st + ovulation test, so beginning our January TWW.

what is everyone else’s story 🌟

I’m 4dpo and same situation that we only got to BD 3 days before O. So sad but it’s not impossible

My DH has morphology of 1.4 and we got pregnant in 3 cycles with my last baby. Been “trying” for 16 months this time but I’ve been postnatal and breastfeeding. I’ve had quite a few cycles now but the are not normal for me yet. I’m thinking of fully weaning but I just can’t bring myself to do it

Morning ladies. Joining the group I am 39 with 2DC 3yrs and 10months old.
Had DS1 at 34 straight away. DS2 after 3 cycles and we are trying earlier due to my age.

I am back on hugh dose Vit D, High dose Vit C, Folic acid and Ubiquinoa.
Going to start BBT and OPKS next cycle. I remembered on my 3 days ago and I am on CD18 so but late. Even with irregular cycles.

Wish all the best of luck to you all

@Mummysparrow Try & BD today and tomorrow running up to your peak 🤞🏼

@ByJollyZebra I have my hycosy on the 10th InTime’s it for a few days after AF if AF arrives.

I have more sensitive/little bit sore nipples today, I wouldn’t have a clue if you can get symptoms so early on or not?

@SCK2024 Keeping everything crossed for us all ♥️

Yeah we did cover the fertile week so just got to try and find a way to keep my brain occupied for the next two weeks! You'd think we be used to that at this point!

We are hoping that a few tweeks to our lifestyle might make a difference but we're not super unhealthy anyway. The Dr's will hopefully be able to suggest something for us. My tests so far have only been hormones, they're okay, just keeping an eye on Prolactin levels

Hope you get your peak soon mummysparrow x

Mummysparrow · 28/06/2025 17:48

I am cd11 and some ewcm yesterday which was earlier than expected so I am waiting to see if LH is going to peak early too. Hubby was unable to finish last night so yet to bd in my fertile window 😬

Dont stress yourself out, he can focus on his diet and eat exercise or any vitamins could help him better the stats maybe?

have all your tests come back okay?

Did you get your fertile week pretty covered?

Oh no @SCK2024! Thats so frustrating!

I think we've worked out that this part is okay. Morphology is low though, 2%, and should be at least 4%. We will know more when we've seen the Dr.

How are you feeling? I'm 1dpo, actually tracked this month. Feeling pretty hopeless after reading through lots of info last night but you never know I suppose. It could still happen, trying not to stress too much until we've spoken to the Dr x

@ByJollyZebra I’m sorry .. I haven’t a clue!
my OH handed in his sample in beginning of June, it got rejected because his GP didn’t give him the form to go with it! 😤 So now next date is September!!!

Try putting a post on premom app, they are very active on there, I am certain you will get answers.

where is everyone else up to? What DPO are we on? I am 2DPO

Hi everyone, can anyone out there help us make sense of this part of the semen analysis results before our appointment?

We know that the results overall are abnormal but just struggling with this part xx

Hey 😊
I am back AGAIN!

Currently CD 14

Peak OPK yday but we didn’t BD 😖 however come afternoon numbers lowered quickly.

But we did BD the night before & 2/3 days prior.

REALLY hoping it was enough, not feeling as though it was 😞😓

How is everyone? I am cd9 and back from holiday and I have been having on off light cramps for a few days so not sure what that's about. I am about to try a daye diagnostic tampon to see if that picks up and then depending on how that goes I may do the fertilysis microbiome tests but that's pricey and can only do it when on my period.

curliegirlie · 16/06/2025 13:12

Cool, I didn’t mean that specifically for you, just putting the info out there. As I guess I’d always assumed a smear whilst pregnant was a no-no because it was dangerous for the foetus but it’s actually because the pregnancy hormones etc can interfere with the results

FlyHighSky72 · 16/06/2025 11:29

@curliegirlieok thanks - no MC here

curliegirlie · 16/06/2025 09:58

Kind of mid-cycle I think. And if you have had a MC recently you need to let 3 months pass I think (I got turned away in May because of that).

FlyHighSky72 · 16/06/2025 09:27

Hi all, just catching up! AF has arrived today - I’m due my smear - when is the best time to have it when ttc? Right after your period ends?

Mummysparrow · 14/06/2025 15:35

Looks like the FRER was an evap or false positive as I bought a test in Cyprus which claims to be an early testing pregnancy test and it was negative

@FarAwayBirdargh it’s all so frustrating! I’ve avoided testing this morning at 11dpo - yay me 🤣 - really wish I could be one of those people who fall pregnant without trying accidentally

FarAwayBird · 13/06/2025 22:16

It’s not stupid! It’s understandable. I cringe at the fact I had no tests this month (and was basically stranded on a work trip). All I had on me were LH strips. I got so desperate to test at 11 or 12dpo that I peed on a LH test and frantically googled if it could tell me if I were pregnant. UNHINGED 😂

FlyHighSky72 · 13/06/2025 21:52

@FarAwayBirdyeah will test again on Sunday which is 12dpo and then just wait for AF which is due on the 18th - trying not to go mad and test everyday this month as I spent loads of tests last month which was stupid!!

FarAwayBird · 13/06/2025 21:49

Sorry it wasn’t your month, @SCK2024 … selfishly I’m glad for company at the beginning of the cycle! Fingers crossed for late June/early July for us! 🤞

It’s still early @FlyHighSky72 - are you going to wait a couple of days? I’m sure they’ll be the slowest moving days ever!

Good luck @Mummysparrow! Exciting! I haven’t done that testing and I’d be tempted if the price wasn’t so eye watering!

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 13/06/2025 11:23

Ooo good luck @Mummysparrowhope you find a pharmacy easily enough!
