I adopted this wild guy in February and finally did the Embark test I had sitting around. When I adopted him I was told he was a great dane, potentially a mix. As he’s grown it’s become clear he’s a mix so we did the DNA test. Before I say what he is…any guesses? I am wondering if anyone else has this mix and if so, any and all insight is super appreciated. He is super high energy, loves to bark at everything (including grass, street signs and things that don’t go his way) but also loves to snuggle up. We live in WI so also would love to know if any of his relatives are on here! I will attach his embark info and post some pictures in the comments :)

I’m curious if anyone has any suggestions for my partner and me to try before we begin the official medical testing or end our journey of trying to conceive.

I got pregnant while still on my Depo-Provera shot at 18 and now have a nearly 5-year-old daughter. My pregnancy with her was challenging. I experienced preeclampsia that wasn’t detected until labor, and I was extremely ill, likely suffering from hyperemesis. There were no other issues during my pregnancy. Since having her, I’ve been back on Depo-Provera, tried the NuvaRing, and had an IUD. I’ve been tracking my cycle for two years now, and we’ve been trying to conceive for one to 1.5 of those years.

I’m no longer with my daughter’s father, so I’m wondering if it could be something on my partners end or if it’s secondary infertility on my end. I have a regular cycle. I’ve tried taking coenzyme Q10, prenatal vitamins, vitamin D, fish oil, and probably a few other supplements, but I’ve still not been able to conceive. In many ways, I’m healthier than I was when I got pregnant with my daughter and am certainly more capable of caring for a child now. So, in many ways, it feels like a significant setback to not be able to conceive now. Please let me know if there’s anything you think we’re missing, should try, or that worked for you!
