TTC naturally

Hi all, I have been TTC for four years now and haven’t had success. I wanted to know what others have tried before choosing to do IVF? Thanks!

Four years is a long time . Please get in touch with your local doctor who can organise tests etc . The sooner you get tested, the sooner you will get to the bottom of the problem to fix it . Be warned many cases of infertility can be unexplained .

I hope you're doing okay! Infertility is not an easy journey. I have a similar story with a few losses and an ectopic pregnancy. We were just about to start IVF but in god's timing, we had a spontaneous pregnancy that same month and now have a healthy baby after 4 years.

Definitely agree with having full panel bloodwork and hormone testing done. It'll give u insight before diving into medical treatments. I would also recommend tracking your ovulation using a temp drop or mira if you haven't already.

I worked with a naturopath and functional medicine practitioner and I feel the protocol they created for me helped me conceive. Lots of sunlight, red light therapy, detoxing the pathways (through supplements & sauna) progesterone cream, ozone therapy etc and most importantly balancing my blood sugar!

Thanks for the wonderful advice and for sharing your journey. I tried IUI about 15 months ago without success. Hoping a full panel will shed some light on hopefully optimising a natural conception 🙏🏼
How much red light therapy was recommended/did you do ?

Life is great as older single mom of 1, baby 2 at 45?

I’m 44 with a 5 year old and life is amazing. I’ve been raising this kid alone the whole time and I’m living a dream life where I live between the US, Thailand and Spain. I own a home, have a good remote job, keep my kid with me all day.

I want to have a second child. But not desperately. I’d need to borrow some semen from the bank and while I think it’s unfortunate to not know the origin of the semen and the possibility of 100 siblings , I’m open to it. My insurance covers IUI and IVF through my next birthday.

Would you start over as mom of an infant at 45 years old?

Am I pregnant?

Hi everyone 🤗 I got a really faint line yesterday at 10 dpo and this morning I tested at 11 dpo and I can't see a line 😭 is there still a chance I could be pregnant ?🙏 and my HCG is fluctuating because it's so early? This test was from yesterday

Pregnancy test

I took this pregnancy test and then a few days later I looked at it again and noticed a very faint line but then I took 3 more on different days and they all came out negative. What’s going on? I’m tripping out because I see it but my husband says he doesn’t.

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been

Compression Socks

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