@katrina2017 Well the thing with that is, "sharing what worked" doesn't actually help anyone. TTC is so much luck, outside of very specific situations (undergoing TESE to obtain sperm in the case of azoospermia, for example) you really cannot contribute any one thing to getting pregnant. And at...

@4jesus1 It very much is. A common thing I see, not just in the survey responses but in general, is that TFAB doesn't seem to be for people who haven't been trying long. This isn't true, but I can see why the perception exists. In any community, people who have been around for a while are going...

@msrathore They're certainly allowed to have iron (there are basically no rules around supplements), but it's not as easy to put iron in a gummy as it is a pill or tablet. That's why most gummies don't contain iron.

@amandahorselover The OPKs themselves are fine, as far as I know. They're just easy@home with a new name on it and e@h has been a reliable brand for years. But there's a bunch of good brands - wondfo has been the most popular for years, pregmate is really popular lately, I usually used clinical...

@lc627 And this is honestly one of the biggest problems with it! I do photography as a hobby; not too often and I'm not some fantastic photographer or anything, but it's taught me enough to know that an app like Premom is inherently extremely flawed and cannot work with any real accuracy. To get...

@mcg1102 Yeah they really could have picked a better term there. Peak doesn't matter, unless you're using CBADs where it does, but it doesn't actually mean anything has met peak levels, just that this hormone has started rising, aaaaaand this all gets way too confusing for no reason at all 🤪

@adaeuse The only difference is one uses ferrous sulfate and the other uses iron pyrophosphate - just different forms of iron fortification. The other differences are likely just as I said - differences in labeling laws between countries. In the US, at least, any ingredients that are less than...

@timingham No, you're right - "peak" only matters with the Clear Blue Advanced Digitals, where they also measure estrogen levels and peak means LH has started to surge. But for regular OPKs (the cheap dipsticks), it only matters when you got your first positive, and it doesn't make a difference...

@adaeuse I don't actually see any difference in ingredients, just slightly different labeling and ordering. It's likely just different labeling laws between the two countries.

@benjammin13 Yup, definitely. People sub but don't necessarily unsub when they move on. How busy the daily threads are is a better way of measuring sub activity - and it's definitely high.

@kennethjoshua It was open for a week, and we posted a reminder in nearly every daily chat thread in that time. Ultimately, there's only so much we can do to get attention to these things. That said, this sub has a lot of people who drift in and out and don't stick around much. 500 is probably...

@mpierce It won't sterilize the formula but that's not the point. Heating the water to a certain temp is to kill any potential pathogens. 158F is more than sufficient for that - most everything will be killed at 130F.
