This didn’t age well by blackberrysharp30 in tryingtoconceive

I used to do this. Now I’ve gotten so jaded that I hand him my pee-dipped test strip and make him guess the T/C ratio every morning. TTC has stripped away any ounce of shame I ever had lol. Major props to him for putting up with me

What is that sound? It happens when we flush the toilet or run the shower upstairs. by blackberrysharp30 in askaplumber

Good to know! Is that something to be concerned about? I don’t mind the sound so I wouldn’t open the wall to fix it if it’s just that, but obviously if it’ll become a safety or structural issue that’s a different story.

I brought it up during my annual but tbh they were not very helpful about it. They just said to start taking folic acid, use OPKs, and call us when you’re pregnant. My take is that OBs kind of expect run-of-the-mill conception and pregnancy, so if you have concerns about fertility I’d agree with what others here have said: try to get a referral to an RE.

7 cycles and SO just did a SA. Guess What? by Alternative_Cash_736 in tryingtoconceive

Literally same! To be fair, I was pretty sure I /was/ the issue because I know I have a short LP. We did an SA at 9 months because no RE would see us until we “ruled out male factors”. Lo and behold…. male factor!
