I have been trying to get pregnant for a year and four months without success. I chart my ovulation using a calendar and a Clearblue Easy fertility monitor, which detects my LH surge. This month, I felt a severe cramp around the 11th, which I think might be a sign of ovulation. My periods are regular, every 25 to 26 days, and I have a history of PID and painful periods with clots. I am using Preseed lubricant, and my partner is older with six children. Could I have PCOS, or could there be an issue with my partner's sperm count or mobility, or am I not ovulating properly?

My periods are always regular, but this month I experienced a 4-day delay followed by spotting. I have been trying to conceive. Could this be implantation bleeding? I am 34 years old, my last period was on March 12th, and I have an average 25-day cycle. I am not on any medications except for folic acid, and I am generally healthy.

I am unsure if I am pregnant. I think I ovulated on 23rd January and had sex on 20th and 21st, with my partner withdrawing before ejaculating and going to the toilet between each time. My period is due on 6th February. I have been experiencing lower stomach cramps since 28th January and nausea. My bowel movements have also been more frequent. Given the circumstances, what could be causing these symptoms?
