This might be a super stupid question but, we have been told that my other half should have abstained from ejaculating for between 3 and 4 days before egg retrieval, which is fine, but how will we know when that will be?

How long did it take you to conceive?

Would you stay with a man who has Ed, and even with viagra his penis won't ejaculate or, it will go soft, and sex is now depressing and embarrassing ?

I'm 4 months in to ttc baby #2. Every month my luteal phase gets a day shorter. Today my period has started at 11 DPO. I don't know what to do and I'm starting to feel defeated.

I’ve started to think that I would love another baby, my little one is 16 months now. Wondering if anyone can share any experience of having a second child & the age gap? I guess I’m nervous how I will balance everything.
