Well af came last night as expected. I went through a mini depression all day yesterday since I felt she was coming but today I’m feeling a bit better. This month I’m planning to visit my gynecologist and have a chat. I really don’t know what else to do anymore. Other than my one blocked tube everything else is stable and normal. I don’t understand why can’t I get pregnant?

CD 7 today and my bleeding has completely stopped. I've actually decided to use OPK again. Mostly to see how well timed our bding is right now. My husband did the at home sperm test today that measures the motility. We know that he has triple the amount of swimmers compared to "normal". So it was actually a bit interesting to see what the test showed. It didn't give any numbers or such, only a color chart to check wether the sample were positive (over 20 million/ml) or negative (below 20 million/ml). Well, his sample were pretty easy to read. I still think I'm the reason we haven't gotten pregnant with a little sticky bean, and that my thyroid may be the cause.

@Dragonfly Congrats!! So happy for you. Glad you are home safely.
@Alex I’ve been thinking of you and decided to log in today to see how you were doing. I’m sorry to read this cycle had another disappointing outcome. I really hope your doctor can give you answers and figure out how to help you. I was just in class working on a case of a young woman who has fibroid which is affecting her fertility and it seems like she was doing so much better thanks to the last prescription she got. I can’t wait to be certified so I can finally help as many women as possible in those situations (and anyone suffering from chronic health issues that seem to be affecting so many lives these days). Anyway, I really hope you can find the support you need to make your dream of motherhood come true very soon.
@ Pandorica glad your husband’s test looks good but sorry that you’ve been struggling as well. I hope you can also find the support you need on your healing journey which will lead to the second baby you are hoping for.
As for me I am getting close to meeting my little miracle (35 weeks today) and I am incredibly thankful that things have continued to go well this time around.

Hi everyone. I’ve been out for awhile... trying not to get too discouraged with being out last month. I didn’t order the soy isoflavones in time, so I’m not doing anything different this month. Just hoping I can relax and get good news at some point.... I have lots of friends with January due dates, so I’m surrounded by newborns and late term pregnancies right now.
Alex, I really hope you can get some answers from your dr. Are you planning on making an appointment or just waiting until you would see them next anyway?

Well, looks like I'm about 3 dpo. Opk went positive way earlier than I expected at cd 11. We had sex on cd 9, 11, 12, and 13 and I was cd 12. That's enough, right? I took evening primrose oil this cycle and I'm pretty sure it worked really well because I actually got ewcm on o day instead of creamy on O day. Fingers crossed I get to give hubby the best news on Valentine's day!

agatch - thank you. I really hope so too. How exciting you're so close now!

As for me, I'm cd 10 today and actually started with OPK yesterday. I found someone selling a ovulation kit from easy@home with like 50 ovulation strips as well as pregnancy strips. So I bought it from her. I already had like 20 pregnancy tests from last cycle, but I'm thinking that if I don't get to use them all depending on how long this will take, I can just sell the ones that's left. Not expecting it to happen any time soon though, but anyway.. I had to call in sick again for work. Were home three days only two weeks ago because of my arm. Now I'm home with a very stubborn headache/tension like feeling in my head and a slightly sore throat. My son is home to with only some minor sore throat. I'm going in for testing tomorrow if this doesn't disappear all of a sudden before tomorrow (not likely).

I read through this thread daily, I just haven't had much to tell. I have started intermittent fasting and have lost 6 lbs in about 3 weeks. They say that fasting helps the body heal and is great for people with pcos or insulin resistance. Last month was an awful long month. This month it was text book. May not have achieved a pregnancy, but I seen great signs during my fertile period. I haven't seen ewcm like I seen this month since I was a teenager. I really believe if I can get my body at a healthy weight and hormones balanced Ill have a better chance at getting preggo. My daughter just turned 3 and she wants a sister or "thither" as she says it so cute! My heart is scared she will be an only child. This June is will be 3 years trying for #2. Right now, Im just trying to focus on loosing a few pounds. I have joined a few Facebook Intermittent Fasting groups and it gives me hope to watch others do so well. I don't cut carbs or deny myself a sweet here and there. Its all about eating in your window. Im 10 dpo today, and nothing out of the ordinary, but Im not too upset. Just on to the next month!

6dpo for me and the worst symptom I've had is the heartburn. 3 days straight of really strong heartburn - seems to get worse when laying down for the evening. I'm also super super tired lately as well.

Hi new here I'm on cd3 ,

Hi there! May I join in? I'm currently 6dpo and itching to poas. I'm trying to hold out until Sunday (10dpo) but I doubt I'll have the willpower.
