Months TTC: 5
WAYDTGKU: Just lots of BD and attempting to check CM which is non existent for me now apparently. Probably going to dive into opks and temping this cycle so that’s why I decided to make my intro. I will probably be asking for some chart stalks.
Me: I’ve been lurking for a while but a little intimidated by participating. I’m a 1st grade teacher in desperate need of summer break. DH and I enjoy camping, fishing, gardening and Netflix. We have a 7 yo boxer named Scrappy (SIL has Scooby).

How many months have you been TTC? We actually weren't going to start trying until June, I was charting to protect ourselves around ovulation, and something happened... we got our BFP April 16, and unfortunately miscarried. But, when I get a cycle under my belt, we're officially trying again!
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Charting. I have contemplated OPKs, but I have been consitantly charting BBT and CM at minimum, and trying to keep up on CPosition as well. I stopped charting when I got a BFP because everyone said I would drive myself crazy, but I just started up again this Monday. So far, I am all over the board. Last Tuesday at our US the gestational sac was in my lower cervix measuring 5-6 weeks (I wouldve been 8 weeks Thursday), and they said either my body would absorb it, I would pass it naturally, or it would pass with my next period... so, we wait I guess?
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) I work in research and development for vaccines (sorry anti-vaxxers, dont hate me). We have 2 dogs and a cat, and 14 chickens (that was an accident). I run as many days a week as I can, and work out on short runs or days off (or rain days!), we love to hike and kayak and be outside as much as possible!
I’m 30, DH is 37

All I have to go on are anecdotes and correlation, but I feel like it helps, even just 100mg. I use the Designs for Health, as that's a main brand my old doctor uses and I really like it. I've read it's essential and good for all sorts of things though.
I'm going to be 34 this year, but I've had a couple failed pregnancies, and after lots of reading I wonder if it's partly due to my egg donations... I figure some CoQ10 can't hurt, *TW*
and it's the only time I had a successful pregnancy, was when I took some before trying to get pregnant.
