Hi Ladies! Looking for some support and people to share stories and advice with. My husband and I have been off birth control for about nine years. We started trying December 2009. I've been tested and my tubes have been cleared. My husband has been tested and his morphology count was high. The doctor said that only 5% of his sperm were healthy. We went to a Fertility Specialist and he said not to worry, and that it was normal and to keep trying. I bought ovulation strips and have basically relied on them. We can't afford IVF so doing this naturally is our only option. I ovulated June 21. Been feeling my usual period symptoms, so I don't think I'll be getting a BFP

Lots of baby dust to you! i am 28 and also trying to concieve baby #1, i only ovulate a couple of times a year and have been TTC for 7 months now and only have 1 fallopian tube due to a previous etopic pregnancy, still hoping it will happen naturally though

Fingers crossed for this month!

Hi. I'm 35 (36 tomorrow) and TTC #1. I have been off birth control since March and on my 5th cycle TTC. We haven't had any testing but if it doesn't happen this month, we start testing. Starting with DH doing testing since insurance doesn't cover infertility. Hopefully we'll see BFPs soon.
