Not sure if this is helpful to anyone but I thought I’d share what we’ve done differently the last few months that hopefully helped towards me falling pregnant.

1. Read “it starts with the egg” and followed the supplement plan that suited me best. This involved high dose (900 mg ubiquinone, pre-natal vitamin with methylfolate rather than basic folic acid, high dose Vitamin D and a probiotic daily tablet). Husband also cut way back on alcohol and took his conception multivitamin and ubiquinone.
2. We also used this fertility cup which makes so much sense to me, surely logically keeping the sperm around for longer is going to help.

my period is never ever late, this month it is when we’ve done everything ‘right’, took vitamins everyday, ate healthier, used preseed and the expensive ovulation kits, and I’m still testing negative. I know it’s an irrational/emotional response but it really just feels like my body is having me on
