Fertility Chart
For many couples seeking
to become pregnant, the words trying-to-conceive (or TTC) can sometime bring
up mixed emotions, especially when you have been trying, and trying, and trying
- and after another 2 Week Wait (the weeks following the date you ovulate),
another BFN (big fat negative on your pregnancy test). After a while, it can
be a bit vexing - every day waking up to your basal thermometer and viewing
saliva samples through a ferning scope, collecting a urine sample or peeing
on a stick (using ovulation tests).
