Hi, am new to this forum. I've been married for a few months and we decided to go ahead with trying to conceive from day 1 due to our age (we're in our early 30s). Unfortunately, I never realised how difficult it is to conceive, given that women have been conceiving children for centuries! Not to mention that all the ladies in my family seem to get pregnant so easily within the 1st few mths of marriage.
A month after marriage, my hub was hospitalised with a severe infection and was placed on very strong antibiotics drip. We were told that the medication may affect his sperm and wld take few months for the body to be free of the meds. He was referred to a urologist and at the last review, the urologist scheduled an appt at KKH for a semen analysis in Aug as we informed him of our desire to have kids and did not want to delay should we require fertility treatments, IVF, etc. As for myself, I went for my gynae check up just before wedding and my results were normal.
Meanwhile, while waiting for that appt in Aug, I decided to start tracking my BBT. Since it's my first cycle with BBT tracking, I've no idea how to read the chart and websites and articles give such contradicting opinions. If i refer to the chart, I ovulate rather early in the cycle. Then there's a sharp dip a few days after that, followed by a higher than usual bbt till today. Currently, I'm waiting for my AF which is due tmr. I had a few strange symptoms but then early pregnancy symptoms are so similar to PMS. I don't want to end up disappointed again. But if AF doesn't arrive by Fri, i will take a HPT. This wait is so painful!!!
It's kind of hard to share all these with my girlfriends because they don't understand how it feels like to try to conceive without success. They already either have kids or don't intend to have kids for the time-being. So I'm very glad to chance upon this forum to let it out.

This app looks new to me. What do the numbers in the blue circle mean? And how about those pink stars and circles?

That's from kindara app, which is supposedly effective?
This Couple's App Helped 10,000 Women Get Pregnant And They Say It Can Replace Birth Control Too | Business Insider
The stars and circles show ovulation period while the blue circle indicates dpo.
Here's from FF:
Both apps are pretty conflicting. Both have the same data but kindara puts my ovulation at day 10 while FF puts my ovulation at day 19. So right now, not sure which to trust. Any thoughts?

No wonder I was confused with the earlier app as I'm used to FF . I was also guessing your o day should be cd18.
are you regular in your cycle? Your cycle duration hovers around 31-32 days?

Hello msyoyo. Are you thinking of me? * cheeky *
Been busy with work…. And there’s much to do coming up too all the way to Sep but my HL is gonna start in Aug. Don’t care already. I even lagi don’t care by booking a Bangkok trip later part in July. I wanna go happy happy before my agonizing jabbing days.
What’s next for you msyoyo?
