My husband and I have been trying for a year and a half with a miscarriage a year ago. I’ve been using the app and my CM and the way I felt to track ovulation and the rest of my cycle. We got pretty good at hitting the high percentage days but no luck.

I finally told my OBGYN in July that I wanted to start fertility testing and she suggested that we wait until end September/early October when we were Europe on vacation (she said everyone gets pregnant on vacation 🙄) before we made any decisions. Nothing happened for us even though I was in the green pretty much our entire trip which we took advantage of.

After having a major breakdown I started talking with a lot of people, particularly my chiropractor who is a big fan of wholistic medicine and herbal supplements. She also had a hard time conceiving.

She started taking maca root and using ovulation tests and found out that she was ovulating 3 days after her period ended. She conceived the following month after finding out this information. So I decided, hell why not, and tried it too. Turns out I ovulate 2 days after my period ends 😳 so we’ve been completely missing the mark.

I’m a little upset that my doctor didn’t suggest that I try this before, and a little upset with myself for not researching more until now. Now I feel like I finally have a little bit of hope and crossing my fingers that next month will be our month!
