@RememberZen tentative congratulations, fingers crossed for a darker line if you test again today xx

@InWithPeaceOutWithStress and @worldwidetravel2017 thanks yes, that’s true will have to see if AF starts over the next few days, if not, July is the month that I conceived both times previously, so fingers crossed for July!

Thanks, still no progression unfortunately, was really hoping this would be the one.

This is my ff chart, looks like maybe implantation tried to happen, failed and tried again later? My BBt shot up this morning, but still low hcg today, I'm praying not ectopic 🙏

ff chart

I’ve got my fingers crossed for you @RememberZen, it’s so hard when we don’t have the certainty we crave.

The lower temps could be down to disrupted sleep or taking them at a different time or some other factor? The recent spike seems really hopeful to me!

Thank you, I'm trying to stay hopefully, but at the same time I won't let myself, not just yet. Line looks darker today? but according to charts I should be 17dpo, I think it should be darker by now, also BBt dropped a little today. Going to see GP tomorrow to get bloods done.

@RememberZen that line looks decent to me - my CP never got that dark. Pretty sure my successful pregnancy was similar at same dpo. 🙏🏼

Thanks! I guess I can only take it one day at a time. I guess I should stop checking BBt now, but I like to keep for my records maybe, just incase, for next time. I'm just hoping it doesn't drop again tomorrow, I hate the early days, a BFP should be a happy time 🙏

I have found with those strip test they never got that dark - I was testing every day tracking progression and it did vary. Even at 6-7 weeks it was never a dye stealer. I’m now 14 weeks tomorrow which I can’t believe (still bloody paranoid though as have so few symptoms).

Hope it sticks @RememberZen sending love.

Love to you all x

Thank you! That's reassuring, brilliant! I can imagine, you've come so far, it'll be your due date before you know it! Thank you, sending much love back x

@RememberZen oooh congrats, I hope it sticks - and the anxiety doesn't become too much... sending love

Partners superdrug sperm test has come back and it doesn't look good at all. Motility of 1% when it should be over 40%, and only 1% with 'ideal form' when it should be over 4%. Feel a bit deflated now but it explains why we've not been getting anywhere.

Hello can anyone advise if I got my peak result on a pre non ovulation test on CD14 and then got a much lower result on ovulation test on CD15 which day did I ovulate on ?

Is he taking wellman max with zinc and omega 3
And an additional 15 mg of zinc too ?

@worldwidetravel2017 just zinc and coq10, started on that a few weeks ago.

Get him on wellman max
With omega 3
And zinc

( coq10 zinc vit d etc are in it )
Then
Tell him to take another 15 mg zinc too

Can take 3 months to improve things

We are under fertility clinic

My partner has reduced morphology as of May.
And some stuff similar
But fertility clinic
Said wellman max with zinc in for 3 months
Then re test

I was looking at wellman vs proceive max yesterday. Proceive has higher levels of lots of things but is a lot more expensive.

is this the one they recommend https://www.vitabiotics.com/products/wellman-conception-max-tablets-and-capsules ?

Tep

Yep

I hope everyone is well! Ended up in EPU today, trying to just get everything checked, lines not progressing and BBt dropping still as of today, was so paranoid it was ectopic. My blood work surprisingly came back good! Both Hcg and progesterone, I feel such a relief. Going for scan on Wednesday morning, said they just want to confirm everything looks good then.
Thanks for everyones support 🙏
@InWithPeaceOutWithStress my partner has extremely low morphology, we got told it would be unlikely for us to conceive naturally because of that, he's been taking Wellman since February and he just switched to proceive, which do look like there is a lot more in them! Holland and Barrett had buy one get on half price on these frequently, I know they are expensive.

Our footie team arent v gd today - not so far anyway

@RememberZen thats great they’re checking you out, all sounds really reassuring. And thank you for sharing about your partner that is also reassuring to me and our chances, I expect it is a waiting game now for us, for the supplements to have a positive impact.

Yes, the EPU have been really good this time, put my mind at ease a bit, for a little while at least.
It will happen for you, I wouldn't put everything on what the doctors say, that's what I've learned, you only need one healthy sperm to make it there, I'm sure the supplements will help soon enough and dietary changes can only do good too!

Hi all, hope everyone had a good weekend. I’m on cycle day 2 now and have found the disappointment particularly difficult this month. I think it might be because I only started testing for ovulation last cycle and I thought that we had a good chance for the first time.

@RememberZen I’m pleased to hear that you had a reassuring visit to the EPU, good luck for the scan.

@InWithPeaceOutWithStress sorry to hear that the tests results weren’t positive, sounds like you’ve got some good advice about supplements. We’ve not yet gone down the route of tests yet and part of me is reluctant to as I fear we’ll be told bad news.

Remember the chance each time is often about 20 percent..

I know it can be very tough

Good luck with the next cycle

Just had ovulation myself
.
Letrozole bought ovulation fwd

I bkd private amh for mid jul

Have an NHS fertility consultant call today

Drs next week
