So sorry @Cookmeanumber3
Best wishes to you. Flowers

Cookmeanumber3 · 29/01/2022 06:59

@pinkpirlie the top was yesterday and bottom today so looks like it’s a chemical. All the best for this cycle for you! Fingers crossed for some good news 🤞🏻

I used to assist in hsgs as a radiographer. They can cause miscarriage + use radiation so try and book it soon after af. I wouldn't want to do it. Af is disappointing but I'd forgotten about my smear so now have that booked. Plus, I only started taking folic acid recently so it gives it more time to build up in my system.

@Cookmeanumber3
That looks like a positive to me, I haven't ever had a positive test, so cannot comment on strength, but I have read it can take several days after AF is due to get darker.
Perhaps test in a couple of days again to see if it gets darker. Have you done a FRER? That may show a darker line...

@pinkpirlie
The conditions of my HSG were that they were done between day 5-12 of cycle (i.e. before ovulation) I also had a hCG blood analysis pregnancy test done in the 48 hours prior to HSG and no unprotected sex after that pregnancy test to avoid any possibility of the HSG interfering. Hope that helps.

Sorry for tagging on, thought I was out this month as no positive ovulation then the family had covid and AF was due yesterday but I’ve taken about 5 tests and I’m certain I can see a hint of something. Can anyone see faints here? Is it likely a chemical if I’m already late and it’s so faint?

So sorry @Bramblecrumble21
It's no fun when AF arrives. I'm now CD8 of my next cycle.

@Goldengoose6491
I have to book my HSG when next AF arrives. Couldn't do it this month as I hadn't had the chlamydia test in time.
Just wondering whether they said anything about the risk of whether the HSG interfere with implantation if you are lucky that month? I'm assuming as it is done before ovulation it isn't very high.

Goldengoose6491 · 28/01/2022 13:45

Sorry @Bramblecrumble21. Thanks for your message HSG was yesterday evening. Bit scary and uncomfortable but all clear. AF due 15th so fingers crossed for a happy valentines present.

Bramblecrumble21 · 28/01/2022 12:18

Af right on time today. So I'm out too. Good luck with your hsg golden goose.

Bramblecrumble21 · 27/01/2022 14:33

Well, I couldn't wait till the weekend. Yesterday day 26 got a negative test. Periods due tomorrow, but I have been getting spotting for a few d so maybe It just didn't pick it up. I'll wait a and see.ays so

pinkpirlie · 24/01/2022 19:55

Hit send too quickly.

Good luck to everyone still waiting for their BFPs!

pinkpirlie · 24/01/2022 19:53

I am definitely out. AF arrived Friday morning. Counting down the days now to ovulation again.

Bramblecrumble21 · 24/01/2022 19:22

Af due around next weekend. I'm not clockwork. I have some spotting but it's kind of pink. I might not be able to hold off for a pregnancy test. I don't feel premenstrual but some months I get cramps for nearly a week and some months I get no symptoms except the first day of my period after starting.

Goldengoose6491 · 20/01/2022 09:31

Hi everyone hopping onto this thread new to mumsnet. Been TTC for 12 cycles now. On day 4 of cycle so over the disappointment and cramps and feeling hopeful this month will be the one. AF due on 15th Feb and she's always bang on time. I have a HSG next week and really really hoping if there is a blockage that will clear it :)

Good luck and baby dust to everyone xx

pinkpirlie · 20/01/2022 08:41

I'm pretty sure I'm out. Spotting the last day and a half, so expecting AF to come with vengeance today. Feeling quite queasy which is normal for me when AF comes.

Good luck to everyone else.

RMS0209 · 20/01/2022 08:23

@Bramblecrumble21 I'm on edge at the thought of testing, trying to delay as long as I can so I ament let down if it's negative.

I reckon Sunday would be good to test. You going to use a FRER?

Bramblecrumble21 · 20/01/2022 08:13

How's everyone feeling? I've had an outburst of acne (though it could be Christmas chocolate) and I've had 2 comments that I look glowing. So feeling hopeful. My periods vary in length. 26-33 days, but about half are 28 days. So I'm not sure when to test. I'm thinking day 32 as it's a Sunday and it will save me from getting an very early positive that then doesn't turn into anything. I would probably could wait a little longer but I work with radiation and some heavy lifting so would need a risk assessment asap.

Bramblecrumble21 · 15/01/2022 08:36

Good luck everyone.

pinkpirlie · 14/01/2022 21:51

@CheerUpDuck I think October is a good month too.
I also didn't try in March last year, as I don't want a Christmas baby so will probably do the same this year, if we're not successful before then.
Knowing my luck, my march eggs will be the sticky ones Grin

pinkpirlie · 14/01/2022 21:48

@TheBakedPototo
Sorry to hear you're out. Wishing you luck for the next cycle.

I'm almost half way through my TWW. I think I ovulated overnight Saturday to Sunday.
It's been a really busy and stressful week, which won't have helped anything.

Wishing baby dust to everyone Star

Nyxxie · 14/01/2022 20:51

My apps say I'm due to ovulate soon, however this is my first cycle since coming off the pill so no idea if I will actually ovulate then or not 🤷🏻‍♀️

CheerUpDuck · 14/01/2022 19:06

Can I join 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

I think I'm currently / just about to ovulate

Hopefully those of us left can get each other through the TWW!!

For some reason I love the idea of an October baby so hoping for good news this month!

MrsSamRowley · 14/01/2022 16:26

Hi ladies, 2dpo of 1st cycle TTC baby number 2. DD is 19 months old. DTD in the run up to and day of ovulation so fingers crossed! AF due on the 26th.
