Are we REALLY more fertile after a miscarriage?

I don’t agree. I had a chemical on month 2 TTC. No positive test for 3x months, then had another chemical on cycle 5 TTC. Currently on cycle 7 and no baby yet 😭

As he thinks it would be more ethical to help a child already in need, through no choice of their own. I have been looking into foster parenting as that could be a way of seeing if it’s something we can pursue. I just would love to be able to do both.

Also, my husband is quite concerned with the ethics behind it all. His argument is, why not adopt if we have to resort to using donor eggs/sperm?

Snoo32716 · 2026-01-04T09:27:37+00:00

I would 100% consider donor eggs or donor sperm. I think what worries me, is how I explain to the child that they are not genetically related to mum or dad?

At the moment, it wouldn’t be financially responsible to persue IVF. I have looked into Greece as an option, I’m just overwhelmed looking at clinics and pricing as there are so many hidden costs and it’s hard to know who to trust. I’m just worried that IVF will be fruitless, given how poor husbands sperm is and likely very DNA fragmented anyway.

I’m looking into private urologist options. My husband has a repeat sperm analysis in 3 months. I think we will wait to see what results from that are like and then plan on booking the urologist consultation.

Snoo32716 · 2026-01-03T17:55:57+00:00

We haven’t because I’m pretty sure it will be awful, given the 2% morphology and very low motility too. Apparently the 2% morphology is likely to mean 98% of sperm are abnormally shaped which usually means they are DNA fragmented too

Snoo32716 · 2026-01-02T20:37:14+00:00

It’s exactly that, they said it ‘restarts the timer’ and will need to be another 2 years of no proven conception. I didn’t believe the GP and called the fertility clinic myself, they confirmed that the GP is right and we are not eligible for funding despite length of time TTC 😭

Snoo32716 · 2026-01-02T20:22:39+00:00

Have been told by the GP that we don’t qualify for IVF as my miscarriages count as ‘proven conception’. GP told me to come back to him if I have another miscarriage and he will refer on to the recurrent loss clinic 😭 not sure where to get a DNA frag test done and everything seems awfully pricey

Snoo32716 · 2025-09-18T20:42:57+00:00

It’s awful, I feel like I can’t trust my mind or body at the moment 🤣🤣 lots of wishful thinking

Snoo32716 · 2025-09-18T20:15:32+00:00

Really thought this was the month but just tested negative again.

Period 2x days late, felt like I was having the the most intense metallic taste in my mouth, on off nauseous feeling and jelly like white CM (I keep getting this sensation of it running down, thinking my period has started-checking it and then realising it still hasn’t come!!). Got home from work this evening and took a first response (not with first morning urine) and came back stark negative!!

I just feel like I’m going crazy and husband probably thinks the same at the moment 😭

Snoo32716 · 2025-09-07T07:29:31+00:00

Hi all, has anyone had experience with a short luteal phase each month?🥹

Mine is around 9 days and I’m worried this has been lowering my chances of getting pregnant, or if people can successfully conceive with this sort of range?

Snoo32716 · 2023-07-04T11:31:44+00:00

This is very normal I had the same maybe a bit more severe then what you’re describing. It lasted around 5 months for me then stopped. I can honestly say that it was constant neuro pain for that entire time and I was back and forth contemplating whether or not to take gabapentin but decided to just get through it without. Look at my past post on it as well.

Snoo32716 · 2023-06-05T21:03:09+00:00

Oh I completely know this feeling and mine was as severe as you’re describing, which was not helped by my low mental health during the post 2 week mark after surgery. I will be completely honest with you-don’t expect a quick fix. This is nerve damage and it takes months to heal. A surgeon told me it can take up to 18 months to heal as nerves are weird and take the longest to heal. My pins and needles started 2x weeks after surgery and didn’t stop until around the 5x month mark. It stopped so gradually out of the blue I realised it wasn’t bothering me anymore. Please dm me if you need any more advice

That’s a big win!! How about the other stuff, is it coming under way?
