E I’m so glad that your and your hubby’s prayers are coming along! Keeping my fingers crossed that a baby is on the way too!

Luana Hi and welcome! I’m so sorry you had to go through all this and I’m very happy you are now healthy. Wishing that you’ll never have to deal with anything like it again! You’re so strong for sharing your story and you give me so much strength with it! Thank you!
If you don’t mind to tell me, do you remember which medications your husband was taking? Seems like we have Kinda same obstacles. I have one blocked Fallopian tube so I’m counting only on one side and my hubby’ also has low sperm motility.. He took a supplement called profertil but didn’t seem to work. I would love to see if there is anything that can help.

Dragonfly I would count the temp taken at your usual time. For me every time I take my temp earlier than usual is always lower. Try not to obsess to much with it though since temps can alter for several reasons and it doesn’t always have to tell something..

Brenneec Hello and welcome back! Hopefully you won’t have to stay too long here and you soon gonna have your bfp. How long have you tried last time?

@Alex. Thanks girl. I didn't even get out of bed or drank anything. Been having really weird dreams but that is normal. I have to keep telling myself that we only BD the one time and anything is possible. I won't burn another FRER until my period is late. Period due Tuesday but she always seems to show up two days early.

@alexplpl thank you! TTC process takes a lot from us, right?! I’m so glad to find this community. I’ve been learning a lot in the last couple of months.
So my husband got tested for the first time back in January, his results came back with low count and low motility. The doctor advised him to start taking multivitamins. He bought the one called “Formula Forte Men” by Kirkland - (Costco) and also He stopped taking hot showers, every other day he is also applying ice packs there too (sorry tmi). He took a second test in the beginning of April, and the doctor said that the results were better, still not ideal for his age/profile( he’s 28) but it’s getting better. We were supposed to try IUI but all the fertility treatments has been put on hold due Covid-19. As for now, we are trying naturally with preseed .
All the best wishes to you @alexplpl

Good evening ladies. Its shortly after 10pm and I am looking over the last tww in my head and wondering the outcome in the next 1-3 days will be like as I'm laying in bed and I am having AF type cramps that my previous cycles, I didn't feel like. So, I am hoping that I wake up in the morning and not have AF showing her ugly face.

Luana thanks for sharing! Hopefully we will not be in a lockdown for much longer and everything will be back to normal soon. It would be great though not to need the IUI.

Dragonfly fingers crossed af will stay away!

@Alex. Still had a crappy sleep as I think my 4yo is getting some teeth, and my 18m kept waking up too. Woke up after 6am and my temp plummeted to 97.5 and cervix is still high, slowly getting hard and a bit open. Pretty sure she will show her ugly face either today or tomorrow.

@Lalou3tte3 thank you! Yes, I've been off from raspberry leaf tea for a week already, I don't like to drink it around AF so that was smart move anyway. Gonna continue with my iron.

@Alex thank you girl! I really do hope that the supplements will help you, and little miracle will join with you soon you deserve it so much! Sending you all my positive vibes. About announcing to hubs, I had big plans to film it too, my reaction and his and everything, but well I was too excited to hold it in sooo didn't went as planned.

@E_Massey thank you so much! Crossing my fingers for your big fat positive!

@Luana sending BFP vibes to you!

@Drangonfly I hope your temp means that the little one has made a little nest in there and is getting cozy. Can't wait to see BFP from you!
Oh and actually I checked my cervix one day before my BFP, it was really hard and not really high but not low too, and I think it wasn't fully closed. Only thing was that the shape was unusual for me, other than that nothing unfamiliar.

@Brennec I hope you don't need to wait for long and get your BFP soon!

ATM I'm taking tests every day to see progress, they are getting darker. I have around 7 more test and then I'm out. I've been anxious and worrying, because my boobs aren't as painful as they were before and as big, but still bigger than usual and tingling is going on and off from time to time. I'm planning not to get hcg drawn from blood or going to ultrasound before 10-11 weeks (due corona, they advise to come after 10 weeks), I'm probably 1 week less pregnant than my calendar says too, because of long periods. I've decided I just need to try to stay as positive as I can, talk with myself, with my baby and with god. Put my trust in thoughts that everything will go fine. Because even when I would start going to get my HCG checked every 3 days or go to dr sooner or so on, I would worry about other things while I'm pregnant, so I think best tactic is to get my mindset in right place. Oh and interesting thing, some time after my ovulation but week or so before bfp, I dreamed about giving birth to big and beautiful full term baby, it happened in my bedroom floor, so I hope that bedroom part is not gonna be true :D but I've never dreamed about giving birth, so that is funny coincidence that I dreamed about it now, just before getting my BFP.

I hope everyone is staying safe

@ Nasake. What do you mean by the cervix feeling weird? I'm curious to know as I didn't check mine with both pregnancies. TMI, is no concern for me lol.

Well ladies, I went to the washroom and when I wiped, I saw a ting of pink. As odd as this sounds I inserted a tiny bit of toilet paper after I rolled it and when I took it out a second later there was some slight pink/red. I'm praying that it goes away. If not, AF will be full blown either by bed time or morning. I stopped having beer for a few days so for a stress reliever I am going to have one. Symptoms have gone way down. I'm actually not sad as I don't know the percentage of women getting pregnant 5-6 days before ovulation. If this is AF, do I count today or when its full blown? Thank you for everyone who was rooting for me.

It was different in shape, like I could feel right away that it was like smaller and if I think about it, it really reminded tiny pear by it's shape.

If it is AF count full blown day, and maybe it's implantation bleeding, don't lose hope until AF arrives

Welcome to Luana and Brennec. I hope that your ttc journeys will not bee too long. Either way, we will keep on supporting each other.

So glad to hear from you @nasake. I don t remember if I had checked my cervix neither but I do remember not having a lot of cm. I was actually getting dried. It is for the past 2weeks that I have now noticed an increase in my underwear.

@Alex it is very weird that his dad said that. They should have open minded especially since Russians are also excellent doctors. I will keep on praying for you.

For you too @dragonfly it will happen. Don t let go.

@E how are you and the others?

AFM I'm uncomfortable bc I am having both cravings and dislikes. Sometimes I can pinpoint exactly my cravings. Some others not. I'm staying positive. I only have 4weeks left in the 1st tri And will feel better after that. In my district, schools are officially closed for the rest of the academic year. I'm still working from home but behind in my own classes. Very tired but thinking of all of you. Stay safe.
