Has anyone taken/taking garlic oil supplements? Suggests it may have fertility positives for both female/male. I don't want to take too many supplements, I worry this could do more harm than good? I'm going to increase vitamin D3 this month also, what dose of zinc is good for both female/male?

40 mg zinc limit a day in total

Congratulations @ButItHasCheese !

We are camping this week, during my fertile week, but partner has come down with a nasty cold so we are out this month.

Got my Hertility results back and all results are within range. Partner has a sperm analysis booked for Monday.

We. are both taking zinc, folic acid (methyl folate) and coq10 (ubiquinol) daily, so hopefully see something happening in a cycle or two. We’ve been trying since January 2023 off and on and not a single positive test! I would love to have a spring / summer baby so would be very happy to conceive in the next 3 months.

I'm glad to hear your results were good! That bodes well for yous. Hopefully your partners tests are good too.
You'll get that BFP soon enough! 🙏

Hi all,

I was reading a book which had loads of information about the things to eat when trying to conceive, both for men and women. It was a bit overwhelming, so I put all the recommendations in a spreadsheet, what they contain and the (alleged) benefits.

Sharing in case anyone finds it helpful:

Thanks, I’d not heard of this, will have a look.

I’m on CD26 and have just had the pre-period diarrhoea that I usually get around 2 days before my period, so I guess I’m out for this month.

RememberZen · 25/06/2024 17:24

Ladies! I just tested at 15dpo, faint line? It should be darker by now, no? So worried, I don't know what to feel.

RememberZen · 25/06/2024 17:25

No symptoms, apart from shooting pains in left boob some days.

InWithPeaceOutWithStress · 25/06/2024 19:45

Oh wow @RememberZen congratulations!! Tentative congrats of course as none of us ever know if it will stick, but I really don't think you can read much into how dark the line is as you may have been late to implant / urine may have been diluted / your HCG may be a slow rise etc. When was your AF due?

@worldwidetravel2017 That's interesting. Is that 110 nmol/l? My Vitamin D tested as 61.4 nmol/l recently. I don't have pcos, but have re-started Vit D supplements to get it up. I used to take vit d regularly and it does work as my levels were between 100 and 120 when I did.

@Lalaland5 Good luck. I assume that symptom (like all of them!) could be down to rising progesterone so wouldn't rule out pregnancy.

When i was preg last year - had the boob pain..

Congrats..

If your worried / anxious - consider getting your hcg tested twice - a day apart each time to check its doubling

Thanks 🙏 I'm trying to just go with it, not feeling too optimistic, as my BBT chart isn't looking great. One app says AF due yesterday, the other says due tomorrow. Can only keep going and see what happens, at least it was something.

Thanks, I think it could be possibly chemical, my BBt chart is very low and up and down unfortunately. Yes, thanks, was just looking at tests, don't want to get too ahead of myself, I think I really need progesterone supplements, but that means going back to my GP, and if this one is chemical, I'll be moved back another 12 months to wait for any help with fertility, as he said I could go back to enquire about help this August, I'm so conflicted.
