How my partner can just spend time in the garage for the afternoon so freely or say he’s got to drop by the tool shop and by default, because you’re the mother you stay home with the baby? I mainly think about how women carry a ba...

Success stories of conceiving with ovulation day 10?

I’m consistently getting my LH surge on day 9 (therefore ovulating around day 10). Has anyone ever successfully conceived despite having an earlier ovulation like me? Had my first baby through IVF, I really, really don’t want to have to go through IVF for my second. I’m just hoping that we somehow manage to conceive...

Anyone had the dilaplan rods?

Hi, looking for information on the dilaplan rods used for induction. Apparently it’s the ‘new’ NHS approach as it’s non hormonal, but I’m struggling to find much information online.

Help!

My LH went up so much yesterday but has come right back down this morning. It’s not the lighting as I scanned them in in different lights and the line was visibly darker to me. Does this mean I’ve peaked? Or a random fluke? (PCOS Queen and I’ve never tracked my ovulation before)

Excited for next FET but….

Deep down scared to death that IVF doesnt work for us & we end up having to move on with life childless. That feeling is unfortunately at times overpowering the excitement for transfer. 1 failed transfer & next one looking to be end of March, double embryo transfer with embryo glue 🤞🏼🤞🏼 big love to you all 💝

DNA fragmentation

Hello! My husband and I have received a high dna fragmentation result, his is 40.3%. Our consultant says he doesn’t think it matters that much and we should still crack on. And that there is a 50/50 chance his results will improve by giving up smoking for the next 3 months and taking the supplements. Has anyone el...

Understanding opk’s

Sorry if this is a silly question, but once I have my peak on the OPK and then the line slowly starts to fade on tests after - does that mean my egg has been released or just that the LH in my system isn’t as strong?
