My first baby, I was defs low key freaking out about my fertility. I went off the pill and it took 3 months to get my period back, and then it was 38-39 days. As a result the first 2 cycles I timed things all wrong, around Day 14. When I Realised and timed things for my Actual ovulation (~25 days, based off cervical mucus and cycle length) I got pregnant first try 🙂 Little over 3 years later and now trying for baby #2, I didnt get my period for ageees with breastfeeding + mini pill. First cycle was 45 days, followed by cycles of 33 and 30 days. I will say it is a tad confusing, I seem to have much longer egg ehite cervial mucus than is 'normal' and based off the mucus change my luteal phase is only 11-12 days, rather than 14. Not sure how much of an issue that is. In the third cycle of trying now, have to admit whilst I went into it More chill, secretly I was of course thinking/hoping I would get lucky and conceive immediately. So...not getting worried just yet but also wondering When I should act. Next cycle I plan to use LH strips to check my ovulation and hopefully time things with more confidence. Tbh probs my main concern is with my husbands fertility. He drinks a fair bit and also now smokes marijuana regularly (which he didnt last time around). Convincing him to get tested seems v unlikely tho lol. Fingers crossed soon for me and everyone in the comments! ✨✨
I got pregnant accidentally at 29 by having sex once with a wrong person and had to get rid of that pregnancy. But now I’m 30 and married we have been trying since 6 months. I was a smoker and used to drink 2-3 times a week since age 22-29 and now that I have left everything and became a saint no luck 😢
I am in a similar boat where I fell pregnant at 29 but it was a bad timing in my life so I got an abortion. Fast forward to age 35, my partner and I have been trying for 6 months and no luck. I am going to try lifestyle optimization and cut out all my bad habits (smoking, vaping, weed, alcohol) and hopefully it'll happen soon because I feel like I am running out of time!
I'm 33 yo and have been trying to conceive for 9 months. I'm still not pregnant, so I went to my PCP and wanted to get tested for both me and my husband. But my PCP wouldn't refer me to any fertility service until we have tried for a full year. Is this common practice? My husband's PCP refused to refer him either and said that the fertility referral needs to come from the woman side 😢
We’re tryin at age 41(f) and 35 (m) as I’ve lost my daughter at the age of 18. We really do try. I feel exactly when my egg gets released however we aren’t conceiving. The ovulation test peeks a day later. I doesn’t matter how much we try. Around 6/7 dpo it feels as if needles are attacking my fallopian tube followed by my menses 7 days after.
What if you had a molar pregnancy and were told that you need to wait ~6 months to try again? Does that count as infertility/secondary infertility? My husband and I are past the 1-year mark. Should we push for more testing?

What about berberine while pregnant? I use it to decrease my insulin spikes but not sure if I can use that once I get pregnant? 😅

What happens with your videos? Every time they disappear and are reposted. I made a question in the comments yesterday 😢
Does severe stress have an effect on the sperm count of a man? We have been trying for 2 yrs my man is burned out and has low sperm count.
Yes, stress impacts men as well
