Hi All, I don't really know where to start or what I'm looking for. I guess advise or to hear from someone that has/is in a somewhat similar situation?
I have a 4 (soon to be) 5yr old son, we did not plan to get pregnant at all it just happened!
Fast forward two years & again I fell pregnant completely by surprise. We went to our 12 week scan to find out I had suffered a miscarriage at 8 weeks & I wasn't pregnant there was a "malformed mass of cells" in my womb, I was then given blood tests & had a natural miscarriage without needing any intervention.
It's now 3years later, I am 29 & the healthiest I have ever been, I have regular periods sometimes fluctuating by a day (normally a 28 to 29 day cycle). I was convinced & I mean 100% certain I was pregnant as my period was 2 days late & the way I was feeling but today my period had arrived.
I honestly feel devastated, I don't know what I am doing wrong. I had blood tests at the doctors & was told that everything is normal.
I track my cycle & always make sure that we have sex either the day before or the day that I am ovulating.
We desperately want to have another baby to complete our family, I don't want to wait, pray, hope etc I just don't know what to do anymore.

Sorry for your loss @Mamajns

It could be that you’re missing your opportunity by waiting until the day before or day of ovulation. I’m no expert but from what I’ve read sperm can live around 5 days so you’re best to start trying every other day before you get you peak on an opk as waiting could be too late and you’ve missed your chance.

Have you heard of the Sperm Meets Egg Plan OP? Might be worth reading up on - it's about ensuring the best chance of the sperm reaching the egg.

It's hard work if you're not used to DTD that often, but a lot of people have posted on MN they struggled to get pregnant but success with it. All you need is knowledge of your cycle, and opks, which you can get cheap from Amazon.

I didn't bother with the opks, just DTD every other day then every day around ovulation worked for us, but if you haven't caught, you may ovulate earlier or later than you thought.
