Sorry to hear about your chemical. So difficult wanting to test but also not wanting to. Happy to chat!
I think I am 12 DPO today but could be 11. Only using apps and CM, no OPKs or temping.
Caved and tested this morning - BFN. Not got huge high hopes for this month as have been really stressed at work and working a lot of hours so not optimal at DTD this cycle.
Have been in two minds whether to push for/pay for investigations.
Am 29, stopped taking OCP at Christmas. Settled down into a 26-28 day cycle, definitely get clear increase in discharge around middle of cycle with EWCM then drying up and then usually more discharge just before AF as well.
We have had a couple of months where we haven't been too religious about things but otherwise have been trying.
DH is known to have a varicocoele so am aware there is the potential this might be more difficult. He saw GP on his own and she said "try for 6 months and come back". I think he had given the impression that we were just wanting to start TTC.
I'm finding it much more stressful than I thought especiailly the end of the TWW, testing and symptom spotting.
A bit of me wants to go and have a semen analysis done as if this is never going to happen naturally then don't want to be going through this every month and getting hopes up. (Although in reality expect I still would be anyway!)
Equally though DH can already be quite low in confidence and don't want to put him through that unnecessarily. He actually seems quite relaxed and quite happy to just give it a go for a few more months and see what happens but is prepared to go and have an MOT for both of us if I want.
Fingers crossed for you!
