Do we trust first response?

Top FR from yesterday, bottom 3 tests (all same pee) from this morning. Period due today, no idea of dpo as was not tracking. Have not used the dark cap FR before. The clear blue is one of the ultra early ones but I don’t think there is anything there. 😬

Wanting another baby so soon. Bad idea ?

Sperm analysis

So my husband's sperm analysis is excellent! Which is a breath of fresh air had 101 million count with good motility, PH, everything is excellent. I think we just aren't having sex when we are supposed to. 🙄 I've had labs done as well
