Hello everyone, I've been ttc for over two years now and had no luck unfortunately - had 2 chemicals and a miscarriage at 6+4 weeks Sad I've never used OPKS or measured my BBT or checked my own cervix or any of the stuff I read about on here as it seems so confusing for me - I was just wondering if any of you lovely ladies could explain it simply to me - I don't understand when to use opks as my cycle is constantly irregular and my temperature is naturally always low as I'm a cold person.
Could anyone kindly explain the ttc process and pass on any tips of the trade you have?
( I have had bloods, smears, internal and external ultrasounds and all are okay)

Just a wanna be mamma waiting for her rainbow baby :( thank you all xx

Have you had your blood/thyroid checked?
My ferritin was low and I concieved both times once I had been on iron tablets to solve the problem. Could just be a coincidence but I had a misscarriage and 2 chemicals in between that time. I also had no idea ferritin could contribute to conceiving until after I was pregnant and someone mentioned it to me!

Trust me you have plenty time. I did too but I wasn't with the right man and I don't think you are either.
Now I'm 34, had my baby at 33 honestly it is totally fine and I am SO GLAD I waited and met my husband. Honestly you need a rock to lean on, my husband pulls his weight and then some.
You need a guy like that not your silly pathetic boyfriend who I bet will be a lazy parent, stress you out, not pull his weight and expect you to clean up after him too

Do not do this. Please!

@Alicespring yeah have had my bloods checked and my thyroid and all came back all clear - I was surprised through because I thought I had anaemia.

@Horehound thank you for giving me the harsh truth. I think it's exactly what I needed to hear x

Yeah he sounds like an arse. He should not be saying that to you about diet/water in that way!! If I thought that about my partner I would suggest that we both do healthy eating/make an effort to drink water so it was both of us and I'd make out I wanted to be healthier too so as not to make him feel shit. He sounds nasty and immature

Hope you've split with him already @Tonimays!
