Just started this new thread because ours is full. Hope the name change isn't confusing 😂 Tagging you too @rita83 if you ever pop back in to say hi! Have I missed anyone? I'm so rubbish with my memory 🤦🏼‍♀️ x

I'm okay thank you @Mama500! Was very tired and unmotivated yesterday with lots of cramping, so I think it might have been ovulation day. Expecting my temp to rise (fingers crossed) tomorrow! How are you?

Good luck for Monday @Janey3090. Let us know how you get on!

Oh I'm so sorry @Lucyasc 😞 you have got a lot going on so hopefully the wedding will be a good focus to take your mind off things x

@Ladylou17 fingers crossed for you really hoping you get a strong BFP!

Unfortunately I got my AF today 😔 3 days early as well I'm putting that down to wedding stress tbf. Feeling really down actually and a bit deflated!

Mama500 · 17/02/2022 11:34

If you have a savers near you their brand test which is almost like a FRER style is where I got my clear line @Ladylou17

Mama500 · 17/02/2022 11:33

Eeeeeek!!!!!! @Ladylou17

Ladylou17 · 17/02/2022 11:16

@Janey3090 hope it goes well lovely.
@Mama500 I feel like I would be the person who gets 10 bad evap lines in a row 😂😂
I won't test again today and get a digital for tomorrow morning xx

Mama500 · 17/02/2022 10:13

@Ladylou17 I felt exactly the same and then when I done the cheap 25hcg test I got a clear pink line! I was so scared all of my other super sensitive were so faint!

@Janey3090 I hope that goes well. Exciting you are in your 2ww

Janey3090 · 17/02/2022 10:10

2DPO for me, but I have an appointment at the fertility clinic on Monday to check on my ovarian cyst, which will be 6DPO. Spending more time thinking about that which I'm sure will help!

Janey3090 · 17/02/2022 10:08

@Ladylou17 I can see all those lines too, how exciting!! Keeping everything crossed for you xx

Ladylou17 · 17/02/2022 10:06

@Mama500 I'm 11dpo they're so faint though I'm scared to do it.
I want a bright pink line then I'll allow myself to believe it I just know my luck 🤦‍♀️ xxx

Mama500 · 17/02/2022 09:30

How many dpo @Ladylou17

How are you @Cruz86

Mama500 · 17/02/2022 09:29

Oh wow @Ladylou17 that’s every test so far!! Maybe a digital???!

@FlyOnTheWall89 so lovely to hear from you. Sending you a massive cuddle. Definitely query the referral. I know it’s easier said than done but try and find little breaks and small joys outside of ttc. (Talking from experience of 18 months of it taking over my life)

Stay strong you’ve got this x

@Cruz86 I did a £1 cheapy test had to take it out of the packet cause the plastic screen was glaring at me 😂 there's a line but still not sure. I'll try to hold out a day 😂😂 xx

@Cruz86 I did an IC this morning. Def a line but so faint don't know if you'll see it. I may do a FRER later or try in the morning. Still in the I don't know phase 🤦‍♀️ xx

That's a good progesterone level @Ladylou17! Glad to hear your bloods are all okay. I normally get stronger lines in the afternoon rather than fmu. I feel like I can see something but I don't know if it's line eyes again 😂😂 it's hard to see with the way the shadow is too! Xx

Hi @FlyOnTheWall89, I was starting to worry so I'm glad you've popped back on. I'm so sorry you're going through this. That referral seems a bit odd to be honest? Are you able to speak to your gp to try and push a referral elsewhere as well? It makes no sense. You must feel so disheartened at the moment, I can't imagine 😞 I really hope you don't have to wait too long. Thinking of you xx

Ladylou17 · 16/02/2022 18:34

Oh @FlyOnTheWall89 I'm sorry to hear that. If it helps to know my friend had an appointment to start ivf treatment this month it took from initial bloods and analysis etc 5 months. Hoping it's sooner for you xx
Hopefully the private tests you have done will move things along.
I had my bloods back today all normal. My progesterone was 60 which conforms I'm ovulating.
I did @Cruz86 but I wish I didn't. 🤦‍♀️😂😂 I'll do one again tomo. Would you say evening is best or fmu? Which do you do Cruz @Mama500 xx

Hi all - I have been vaguely following but I've taken a bit of a break from MN. It's going to be a long journey for us and mentally it has become just quite draining. Last night we got our referral letter.... a phone consultation at the end of July. I mean WTF. How can a phone consultation be so so so many months away... it's with the gynaecology department which is routine but with our results it is so unlikely that it is me that is 'the problem'... so why no referral to a urologist? It is totally mental. We have booked a private urologist appointment at the beginning of April but to do IVF with the NHS, it clearly wouldn't be until the end of the year. I'm so so sad.

Glad to see a glimmer of hope on the thread and will check for updates on the morning. Hope everyone is doing okay! X

Yes we managed to dtd! But temps are still making me none the wiser 😂

I can see a hint of something @Ladylou17 but is that my eyes deceiving me? 😆 have you got another cheaper one to try this afternoon too? Ah I'm so excited!! Xx
