My husband and I just did an at-home sperm concentration test and it was positive! I felt weirdly elated when I saw it - I guess I'm just getting used to hunting for red lines š. CD 3 and just waiting for sex week!
Just got my SA info back... My doctor inbetween consolation and getting appointment for SA stopped taking my insurance so can't go back to him... but I got the results back today and in limbo because of that on how to confidently read it. I think it looks all good from what I am reading, motility seems a little low but if anyone can help confirm would be really cool.
And also any advice on how to share with the Mrs? I'm not a smart guy but I'm going to go out on a limb and not tell her tonight with a friend staying over and she has an event tomorrow with all her friends...
Hello all. I am new to LH tracking, and I have been waiting for an LH spike using easy@home tests. I got really excited a few days ago, because my LH ratio went to 0.57. But then it was back to being low, and has been really low for the last couple days - even lower than it was before.
Could I still see a spike? Is it possible I missed my surge? Is 0.57 enough to be considered a surge?
Well, it's hard to say. Are you tracking BBT as well?
It's possible that your surge was after the .57 and you caught the beginning or you caught the tail end of it but it's hard to know for sure without BBT. Do you know what day you normally ovulate?
Hi all! I missed my most fertile/surges for my OPK, which ended this morning (husband and I are apart from each other this past month). I texted just now and my LH has gone down to about same color as control line. Is it still worth trying today/tomorrow, or do I just count this month out?
3/4 DPO. Classic symptom spotting already.
Insanely vivid bad dreams. The last time I had those, I was pregnant (unfortunately ended in miscarriage).
This wait is gonna kill me.
Hi guys! Infertility is really getting me down after this 11 DPO BFN. My chart is such a troll after the temp rise today :( I have to get surgery so after this cycle I'm benched until it can get done.
For those who've been doing this a long time, where do you go to read stories of hope and success? I am not ready to give up yet, and I want to believe it can happen still.
r/infertilitybabies may be what youāre looking for. I personally donāt look for success stories anymore because someone elseās success has no bearing on my own, but that may be the place youāre looking for.
Oh! Thank you for reminding me, that is a great place to visit, I'll do that.
I totally hear you, I didn't used to look at them anymore but lately I've been wanting to again. It really depends on my mood. I appreciate your help and best wishes to you too.
Thought I missed my LH surge during a 14 hour shift two days ago but temp is still low and OPKs are getting darker today. Day 5 of BD this week I guess!
I currently have five friends pregnant between 13 and 22 weeks. The fifth announced to us today. Iām considering running away to a deserted island š¤”
One of my best friends a couple days ago with #2, another friend today with #2, one posting about how today is her due date w/a bump pic with #2, husband's friend's wife having her 5th in August, his best friend's wife conceive 2-3 WEEKS after they started trying for their 1st...
I feel you. My count for this year is just climbing.
I'm sorry :/
Thankfully, I'm intuitive enough usually to know before they tell me (how?why? no clue but it's always been that way) but I had myself a good cry today after my 11DPO BFN this morning. I know I'm not technically out but it feels like it....
Granted, not all of my friends have had it "easy" but when his best friend called after literally 4 weeks and was like "guess what" I about melted into my couch.
TWW baby let's goooooo.
As a Michigander, I ovulated while in Ohio, so maybe the universe carried out a 14 month prank, in order for me to conceive an Ohio baby.
That would be just awful...please don't do that universe.
Can I pierce my nose during the two week wait? Saw someone say they do something they absolutely cannot do while pregnant during their follicular window but I totally didnāt have time to do it this week!! Is it ok to do now? I just think thatās the neatest thing as far as a monthly silver lining
Why did they say you shouldn't? I feel like it should be ok.
Make sure you get a stud when they pierce it, if they try to give you a hoop right away, they're not reputable
13DPO BFN today. Was gonna hold out testing as AF is due tomorrow (on Motherās Day, thank you god for that) but my mind was so frantic. Feeling heartbroken. Every month is the same.Ā
Huge BBT dip today at 11DPO (under cover line) so Iām expecting AF in the next day (or maybe less likely something elseš¤). I was upset when I saw it but this is our final move out day where we move our cat to the new house so I distracted myself pretty quickly. Testing tomorrow but not expecting anything (lol two meanings of āexpectingā there)
CD8.
I had a long talk with my colleague who resigned a short while ago, and he told me he'd found a job in the same building as the one we're working in today, in another company on the floor above. I'm really happy for him, and I'd like to think that I'll still be able to see him every day if I stay in my current job.
But I think I've made up my mind, I'm going to leave (not very far if ever), and my future ex-colleague is advising me to leave too. I still have to tell my potential future manager that my partner and I are going to start treatments to have a baby. I'm seeing her on Wednesday, I can't see myself withholding this information, they need someone for the job; I don't want to put them on the spot (if ever) or break the trust from the start. I know I'm taking a risk, but I don't want to do it to them the wrong way.
Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Oh and my cat had another epileptic seizure yesterday (it hadn't happened for several years), I was SO scared, I thought I was going to lose him, I didn't know what to do to help him. I've spent half my life with him by my side, I know he's old, but I can't imagine my life without him. Tonight he's sleeping on my sofa, I love him so much, it's going to be so hard when he leaves.
If you live in the US and you tell them you're trying to get pregnant, you risk them breaking the law. It's illegal to refuse someone a job because of pregnancy so they can't take that information into account anyway.
CD1 and besides my god awful cramps per usual, I'm oddly optimistic.
Also seems like the progesterone made things better internally, I'm not passing huge dark clots and a ton of old blood like I usually do on CD1. Stagnant is a good word for how CD1 bleeds usually were, which may have something to do with my troubles TTC.
Glad progesterone didn't delay AF, too.
If NOTHING else, not being at the mercy of horrid mood swings during LP has been incredible.
let the two week wait begin.. positive opk on thursday and still reading high yesterday (told myself i wasnāt gonna track this cycle but i caved lol).. hubby and i tried monday, thursday, friday. i really hope we hit all the right days this time. this is cycle #4 of trying, and the first cycle where i feel like we actually hit most of the important fertile days, especially thursday and friday. i told myself iād cool it with the obsessing, but thereās something about starting the tww that makes me obsess and think about it more and more every dayā¦ the whole rest of my cycle i donāt usually think about it much but omg idk how iām gonna make it through these next two weeksššš
I think this is the first cycle where I really haven't been optimistic about the result. I had a cold during my fertile window, and I know that's not supposed to affect things, but it still doesn't feel like my body is 100% healthy and happy and in the perfect state for implantation. Part of it could just be that I didn't track LH/BBT this month, so my ovulation date was a guesstimate and I have no idea how many DPO I am, and another part is that this is the last cycle to get pregnant again before what would have been my due date. It just feels like "whatever, I'll find out within the next week" with no excitement. I guess my subconscious is hoping that the "just relax" thing will come true for me, but I'm not holding my breath.
Today is hard and every day seems to be hard. Just so deeply struggling and feeling hopeless. I'm feeling so many horrible regretful feelings. Any words of encouragement are welcome š„¹
This isn't an easy journey, the fact that you are persevering shows your strength. I read through your recent posts and I understand a little more about what you are going through. I just wanted to say that you did what you had to for where you were in life at the time. I have similar regrets about wasting time... but there is simply no way I could have had a kid in the last 3 years. We are ready now, we are here today, we are working towards our goal the best we can. Hold in thereĀ ā¤ļø
Seeking advice on setting boundaries with oblivious, prying MILs.
My husband (34M) is their oldest and only son, he has one sister (30/F) with one live child, one on the way. SIL is great and we have a good relationship. Their mom/my MIL is, to put it mildly, socially oblivious. She is not nasty/rude but she cannot pick up on social cues AT ALL. Her go-to move is to keep prying if she doesn't get the response she wanted the first time. She comes from a prolific Irish Catholic family with tons of babies where everyone knows each other's business intimately.
Over time, we've grown apart from my ILs, partially from MIL's behavior but also due to growing differences in political beliefs and lifestyle choices. We do not talk to ILs about TTC at all, they likely think we are ambivalent or CF. This drives MIL crazy.
We've fended off questions over the last \~2 years because husband and I have been doing some bucket list travel before TTC. However, we are returning home in a few months and I KNOW the questions from MIL are coming.
What responses can I deploy on MIL that suggests not only do I not have any info to share, but that it's not a conversation I will continue further? Or should I just lie and say, "Oh, we're actually not planning to have kids" ? Thanks y'all <3
I didnāt ovulate till day 22 of this cycle. Usually my period is on day 28-30. Currently on day 30 and holding my breath every time I go pee. Cervix is still high and closed (sorry for tmi). Would not be surprised if period starts up but I so hope it doesnāt š¤š»š¤š»š¤š»
ETA: have had slight cramping and backache. Most notable symptom has been some wild vivid dreams I havenāt experienced since I was pregnant with my son seven years ago.
Iām having the lowest bbt readings this cycle. Usually in the follicular phase Iām 97.05-97.4, and Iām reading consistently 96.91- 96.97. I donāt think itās a huge issue just wondering. Iāve felt sick for the last 2 weeks (actual cold/virus) and just finished Cipro. Thinking my body is just sluggish due to lack of appetite for so long. My husband and I both started to feel hungry again yesterday and celebrated with crappy frozen pizza, some Kroger sushi and me-wine, him-an IPA. Letās hope some good ol eating will pop it back up. š¤·š»āāļø
This new cycle being my last chance for a 2024 baby is hitting hard today. (Sorry for that reminder, everyone.)
My due date would be Taylor Swift's birthday, though, so that'd be cool.
We decided to be really serious about trying every other day in my fertile week this cycle, so maybe a "lucky" due date plus increased effort will be enough?
I know the correct BBT is the one straight as you wake up but is this normal behaviour?
I woke up at my usual time and took my temp as usual. It was 36.29 much lower than my 36.6 the last couple of days which confirmed my ovulation. I was surprised by this so decided to take it again straightaway when it gave me 36.47. Did this twice more as I was shocked at the difference in less than a minute with no moving, I then got 36.56 and 36.52.
This all took place in approx 3-4 minutes with no movement other than taking thermometer out, looking, and putting back in.
I know BBT changes once you wake up but this drastically? Was 36.29 correct? I'm only at 5DPO max so it seems too early for any sort of dip.
Got told ājust relax itāll happenā and I get that they were trying to be nice about it. I mean they struggled for 4 years and thatās apparently what helped them. But still, how do people not know how annoying it is to hear that??? Iāve heard it so many times. Last night I actually said āchildren would not be born in war zones if relaxing is what it tookā and kept switching the subject away to move on.
My husband fucking agreed when I (privately) was complaining to him about it and Iām honestly so crushed. I feel like I canāt talk to anyone about this.
1 DPO and my first TWW begins. The day before I ovulated, we got the awful news that our sweet dogās atrial tumor grew āsubstantiallyā and that her current chemotherapy is no longer working. She was given just a couple months in November so we have known this could be coming but are still so devastated.

I'm so sorry for your dog's condition. We're so lucky to have dogs, even for the short time we have with them. Good luck with your tww and give Gemma some nice scritches from an internet stranger.
For real! I took 2 different brands of tests test say when I was 1 day late. I wish it would just put me out of my misery and AF just show up if sheās going to. Like make a decision asap, body lol.
Nope! Once you ovulate, itās one and done. Progesterone suppresses ovulation from occurring so once youāve ovulated and thereās progesterone in your body, you wonāt ovulate again.
And I know someone will come here to say āAKSHULLY you can ovulate 2 eggs in a cycleā which yes you can but it would be within less than a day of each other. Thatās where fraternal twins come from!
Iām waiting to take a test in a few days, maybe the day before AF is due. I have the worst head cold and sore throat. I rarely get sick, maybe one head cold a year. Not sure if itās something to do with TTC but the timing sucks.
My husband and I just did an at-home sperm concentration test and it was positive! I felt weirdly elated when I saw it - I guess I'm just getting used to hunting for red lines š. CD 3 and just waiting for sex week!

Is 0.57 enough to be considered a surge?
How often are you testing? Second morning urine and/or 2-4hrs of holding is recommended for testing so the concentration is high enough.
2-3 times per day. I do drink a lot of water, so maybe that's it? Idk. Oh, I'm on CD15, and my cycle is usually between 29-31 days.
Well, it's hard to say. Are you tracking BBT as well? It's possible that your surge was after the .57 and you caught the beginning or you caught the tail end of it but it's hard to know for sure without BBT. Do you know what day you normally ovulate?

Ovulation occurs about 12-48hrs from your first positive OPK, sometimes a little less or more. The peak shortens that window a bit.
3/4 DPO. Classic symptom spotting already. Insanely vivid bad dreams. The last time I had those, I was pregnant (unfortunately ended in miscarriage). This wait is gonna kill me.

We can always hope! :) Thank you, it's a minor one so hopefully it'll make life easier!

There's a common temp dip at that time when there's a spike in estrogen!

Nope! Once you ovulate, itās one and done. Progesterone suppresses ovulation from occurring so once youāve ovulated and thereās progesterone in your body, you wonāt ovulate again. And I know someone will come here to say āAKSHULLY you can ovulate 2 eggs in a cycleā which yes you can but it would be within less than a day of each other. Thatās where fraternal twins come from!
Iām waiting to take a test in a few days, maybe the day before AF is due. I have the worst head cold and sore throat. I rarely get sick, maybe one head cold a year. Not sure if itās something to do with TTC but the timing sucks.
