Has your SO been tested?

Edit: sorry that's probably obvious

Are you trying any natural methods to stimulate your body?

Yep, he's completely fine.

Currently, this cycle I was having raspberry leaf tea before I ovulated (I usually know when this happens as I have quite a sharp one sided pain).

I've been having dandelion tea and the usual vitamins as well. Eating healthily and gentle exercise.

We have also just got some pre-seed so giving this a go incase it is my cm is inhospitable. Fingers crossed. It breaks my heart to see so many of us trying for so long x

Just know that 2 years may seem like an eternity but some have tried for even longer and it finally worked out.

That being said, there's still work to do and we don't stop. I'm in a support group that's really helped me calm down and get in a better mood for my body to conceive. We do meditation so I really recommend it.

We do it because the leader of the group, Cynthia, got pregnant at 43 with twins and she's teaching us all of the methods she used. Her guided meditations are great so if you have a support group in your area maybe consider joining, or maybe even a meditation class. Some of the ladies that got pregnant come back to offer encouraging words so it helps.

If you want to read her blog its finally-pregnant.com

What I've also been recommended by Cynthia is to do acupuncture so I'm on my second session this week and hope anything helps :)

Hello! I have also been ttc for 2 years as well. I'm brand new to the forum thing so I don't know all the lingo. For me after 1 year ttc my partner got tested. He had a low count and low motility but was super stressed out from work when tested. He's had two other tests done and they came out great. All my blood work came back fine except for low vit D so added supplement. We went to fertility specialist at 18months ttc and got spontaneously pregnant. Ended up being a blighted ovum & had d&c at 9 weeks. Decided to keep trying naturally until end of this calendar year. Haven't gotten pregnant yet and not holding up much hope for this month as I'm cd 28, most likely 15 dpo but have had brown spotting past two days and I always spot before af. We now have an appt with fertility specialist to discuss trying iui on 12/28. This has been an especially hard month for me as my due date was 12/19/15.
