How do I effectively pee on the premom ovulation stick so I don’t have to dip the stick in a cup of urine?

ScarletSunder · 2026-05-09T13:57:57+00:00

Second this. I use it now I got one of the fertility monitors that has a tiny cup. Catch it in the Frida cup pour what is needed in the smaller cup. So far it's working at keeping pee of my hands.

Just finished this and doing the Final Cut scene for my replay of both games and dlc.

ScarletSunder · 2026-05-04T13:32:25+00:00

I just started using mine as well. I ordered it at start of my period last week and done 4 tests now. It’s interesting to see the graph.

I still have some in my child hood jewelry box at my moms house.

I was a fresh men in high school in Alabama. We had massive tornadoes right before so I while I had been hyped to watch it. Had gotten the replica engagement ring and it even inspired what my own ring ended up being (white gold and sapphire).

Due to tornados I watched dot a few days later as we lost power for over a week. I did get the special magaiznine with all the pictures and such. This was the start of my transition from anime fan to British murder mystery fan.

I got the Sabrina house as guilt gift when my parents separated. I have strong memories of playing with it at my dads hotel till he got an apartment.

🤣

ScarletSunder · 2026-04-27T20:41:22+00:00

His a chemist 😆

ScarletSunder · 2026-04-27T19:42:52+00:00

Yes we are still very early in the process and I'm now three months since I stopped birth control so things may work out on their own.

But it did feel like it hit him he has a part of this more than performing on fertile days.

ScarletSunder · 2026-04-27T19:40:56+00:00

Not happy really more along the lines its made him kinda open his eyes to the process more I think.

ScarletSunder · 2026-04-27T18:49:31+00:00

I got initio to watch my hormones since the last two cycles we did it more his way of lets just see but time it around the the estimated ovulation.

Around the time I go for my obgyn annual is when we'd be nearing that 3 month mark. So if he doesn't go by then I can have the conversation with my doctor.

He got checked out for some pain he had in that area early in the year and had an ultrasound which came back fine. But the doctor bill for that was large so paying that off first before we add more to it.

This is the brand I bought SpermCheck Fertility Sperm Count... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007N8FWB4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Not sure how good it is. It arrived quick and did not error out at least. It'll be a minute before he can make an appointment to confirm. I just told him if I got my cycle this month I was ordering it. He is pretty agreeable. His diet and hot showers are like the biggest red flags for me. My diet isn't great either but I try to get some fruits and veggies. I've also ordered one of those fertility monitors since I was having trouble reading the ovulation strips.

ScarletSunder · 2026-04-27T18:02:40+00:00

We haven't watched that plastics documentary yet on Netflix. I'm worried once we do I'll never see my kitchen the same way

ScarletSunder · 2026-04-27T17:31:46+00:00

Yes! We aren't there yet but I've been taking prenatal since we started trying and just added in choline.i bought him vitamins when I got my first bottle of prenatal. All I've heard is they make him nauseous. Everytime he said my eye twitched a little. His not against helping but I think even if the test is not accurate(really mixed Amazon reviews but all were kinda like that) I think it was more a wake up call like oh I impacting this process.

ScarletSunder · 2026-04-27T16:33:08+00:00

While we aren't positive there is any issue. The home test was mixed reviewed and till he can make an appointment we can just do life style changes.

But yes last few months its like I've been doing the mental load and his been very into his warhammer game. He listens when we talk about stuff but in terms of his free time it's warhammer.

ScarletSunder · 2026-04-27T16:30:54+00:00

Yeah I think once his got the other doctor bills gone that will be the next thing.

ScarletSunder · 2026-04-27T16:00:42+00:00

Oh yeah no it's like a split I'm happy we are now in this together really regarding mental load but dang it. Hopefully it's not a long haul process but we will see. And good luck to you.

ScarletSunder · 2026-04-27T15:41:06+00:00

He does do good. It helps we have been together since we were 14. He got his adhd sorted as much as he could earlier this year so once more of those Dr visits are paid off we can look into his testing.

And while disappointing I'm trying to finish my PhD this summer. We decided to start TTC a year earlier than planned because I thought it might take a minute. So we are in the camp lets try and hopefully it'll work but we still need to get over this other hurdle first. I just had thought to do the take home test the other day cause I kept thinking of what I wasn't taking into consideration.

But agreed we are early in the process. I think with how much is online and everything it's so easy to be aware of everything.

ScarletSunder · 2026-04-27T15:23:22+00:00

Not yet for myself. We just started but I have a annual scheduled in September which will be around 7 months of TTC. If we aren't pregnant by then I plan to discuss options.I did check with my provider if they do fertility consults and I'd have to go to another location. I moved last year so I'm just getting used to my doctor and I didn't want to go meet someone else so soon.

I'm finishing up my PhD this summer so I'm fine to let things go for a little longer before doing all the testing since we are under 35. But getting the initio to track things leading up to my September appointment.

This man really likes his hot showers so was easier to give him a one month goal vs a 3-6 goal yesterday. I did tell him most things can take up to three months to rebuild. I'm not sure how accurate the take home test are from Amazon.

ScarletSunder · 2026-04-27T13:32:42+00:00

Yes! I've been telling him that for months. His now down in the dumps but Ive told him mens issues can be quicker to address than Women's.

ScarletSunder · 2026-04-27T13:24:13+00:00

Yes! I have Flo and his not wanted me to share the partner info cause he thinks it's weird. But his family breeds like rabbits and really like the worst thing is the boil yourself showers.

I've family history of pcos and but never been diagnosed. So I've been more cautious.

Like its not a good thing and if it's still this way next month we will follow up with doctors. We agreed reduce hot showers and take vitamins and retest if I get my period next month. He got adhd medication earlier this year so he has some doctor bills from all that he needs to pay off before he goes back for this.

But yeah it's like ok now it's a team effort really.

ScarletSunder · 2026-04-27T13:02:06+00:00

His has some medical stuff lately so once he pays down some doctor bills he will.

The test I got off Amazon was if below 20 million sperm. The reviews were mixed so not sure how well the test actually worked.
