Trying to conceive ❤️ = Female Fertility Power + CoQ10 Pack & Male Fertility Power + CoQ10 Pack

A few tips worth knowing 💁‍♀️

Here are some tips and lifestyle tweaks that are worth knowing along your journey:

Start a prenatal at least three months before trying to conceive 📆

Doctors recommend starting prenatal supplements in advance, because some nutrients (like Folic Acid) get used early in pregnancy, sometimes even before you know you’re pregnant. But it’s also recommended by fertility experts since eggs (and sperm—he should be taking a prenatal, too!) take about 90 days to mature.

At-home fertility tests can save you time and money!

An At-Home Sperm Test Kit or Ovarian Reserve Screening test can let you know quickly and conveniently if there are any red flags to address as you try to conceive, no clinic needed.

Small lifestyle changes to consider as your first step on your journey 💤

Prioritizing sleep, adjusting your diet, and limiting certain behaviours can (and does) affect your fertility. Increase your odds with a few simple swaps. Think of it like giving your body the best possible starting point

Compression Socks

Hey, for how long did everyone keep their compression socks on? I am also on blood thinning injections for 6weeks. Many thanks

Positive pregnancy test?!

So I have the coil but I am like 5-7 days late on my period. It usually comes pretty much the same time every month.

I did the bottom test yesterday and I forgot about it and came back to that.

I did a second test this morning (top one) and I can see a very faint positive line at the top.

I don’t really know how to take it, is it reliable? What do you all think? I don’t know if I feel ‘pregnant’

I will take another in a couple of days I just wanted to know other people’s thoughts

Ovulation?

Based on my tests, when do we think ovulation would have been most likely? Does it look more like the 17th or 18th (yesterday). I had a lot of egg white/stretchy CM on the 17th but was a lot drier by yesterday.

BBT

I had unprotected sex 2 day before my lh surge (I had a random late ovulation on CD 24). So obviously this wasn’t expected—I took plan B on Monday (54 ish hours after the act and on the day evening of my lh surge). My temp has been steadily rising the past 3 days—does that mean I ovulated or is this a plan B shift?

Also has anyone gotten pregnant 2 days before surge—I think I either ovulated late the night of my surge or very early the next day

What's going on?!?!

So I had spotting last month, Feb 19 to the 22nd and if it was a very light period.. which I've never had but im also breastfeeding. I should be somewhere a round getting my next period because I usually only have 23-27 day cycles. At most I've made it 28 days and by 29, I've missed my period. Today is cycle day 28 with the spotting. I've been taking ovulation tests since then and they have been light except the past few days. And today which I thought I would be getting some kind of bleeding/spotting and I've gotten an lh surge which is throwing me off. And I just tested lh again and its even darker. Would this be ovulation or early pregnancy or just my body being all over the place? I'll put the 1st Pic of ovulation from earlier with this post and post the most recent one which was just now in the comments..I need advice as this is the 1st time I've been able to breastfeed this long with my 2nd daughter.

Strong positive early on

I got a digital clear blue positive early on, 3 days before my period was due and consistently dark lines already on daily easy@home tests(period was due 2 days ago) without any symptoms (though I have had a head cold). When I previously had chemical pregnancies with weaker test results I did have nausea. Wondering if I can tell anything from this, eg does it point towards twins or anything like that?
