Oh amazing! Same, they’ve sent my new prescription in the post so have to wait until 15DPO to be 100% not pregnant and then start provera and onto 5mg.

it worked first time with my daughter 🥰 I only produced the one follicle and she ended up being the most perfect miracle. Had a vvfaint bfp at 9do with her.

my progesterone blood suggested I hadn’t ovulated this time but they couldn’t be 100% sure as realised they may of done it a couple of days early 🤦🏻‍♀️

I don’t have regular cycles as have PCOS so going through fertility treatment. I don’t ovulate on my own so need help, had Letrozole 2.5mg.

I’ve tested again this morning 13dpon BFN.

I also took letrozole this cycle. I don't think it worked as 12dpo and bfn. Next cycle I'll be taking 5mg I believe .

Congratulations on the BFP @Lal33!! first one on this thread?!

Congratulations @Lal33 🥳🤩

DearieMeWhatsUp · 13/01/2023 10:39

My irritability and mood swings have been so so bad the last few days... I never really get noticeably like that with PMT... I'm hoping it's a symptom and not just me being awful as I've felt so short tempered with my daughter! Approx 8DPO now and will probably start testing from Sunday.

Thank you @Natty83 :)

Congratulations @Lal33

Af due on Wednesday so trying to resist the urge to test over the weekend!

Laul89 · 13/01/2023 09:32

Congratulations @Lal33 🙌🏼☺️

Fingers crossed for the rest of us still waiting… & waiting 😩🤣 why does the TWW drag so much!!!

Natty83 · 13/01/2023 08:18

@Parkopedia you're not out until you're out. There are always outliers to the stats. I was 2 days past AF due and about 16 dpo when I got the first bfp with my DS (and very surprised because I had BFN on AF due day). So I know anecdotal exceptions aren't helpful statistically but it can happen. Fingers crossed for you x

I caved and tested. Early. AF due in 4 days.

It's positive! However I'm not getting too excited as I know its early and there's a lot that could change. I'll keep testing between now and next week and just hope it sticks. 🙏

Congratulations 🥳💐 x

Congratulations @Lal33 !

I think I'm out this month. AF due today. Have had some very light pink spotting (unusual for me) and horrible nausea yesterday on and off (first sign for my first pregnancy) so had a bit of hope but stark negative FRER this morning

Soda123x · 13/01/2023 07:12

@Lal33 congratulations hun 💖
Wishing you lots of luck for a healthy pregnancy xx

@UKMummy2one
How crazy were both CD31 and having strong cucumber smells ??
How long are your cycles usually?
When are you going to test ?
🤞🤞🤞 for you xx

UKMummy2one · 12/01/2023 22:21

So funny you’ve said this as since having covid last year my sense of smell has been way off and like a constant citrus smell but the last four days it’s deffo got stronger. Tried not to get too excited but the cucumber my daughter had OMG it smelt so strong!

I’ve noticed lots of milky cm and when checking internally like egg white stretchy but milky 🤷🏻‍♀️

BFN still and the indent lines are all I’m seeing at 12DPO CD31

Ella31 · 12/01/2023 21:12

1dpo today. Fingers crossed for me ladies. Two week wait officially starts again.

Soda123x · 12/01/2023 20:33

Hi everyone just checking in.CD 31. 11-13DPO not exact as don't test etc ... not getting too excited yet as normally have 28-34 day cycles. AF not arrived as of yet but had quite strong stomach cramps last 3 days. This is not normal for me - well not that I know but maybe I haven't noticed them before but I am doing now as in the crazy symptom spotting stage haha. Another strange one for me is extremely heightened sense of smell. I came through the front door after work and could distinctly smell cucumber. My husband was in the kitchen slicing some. Is this normal ?? Or am I driving myself crazy symptom spotting lol 😆 Going to try and hold off testing until weds which will be CD36 if AF has not arrived by then.Good luck to all xx

UKMummy2one · 12/01/2023 16:05

Hi there hoping to join. I’m a mum to 1 conceived via fertility treatment (Letrozole) & this is my first round for baby#2.

They couldn’t be 100% I ovulated as missed the scan but showed one may of released, then I had ovulation symptoms followed by a little pink when wiping the day after 1/1/23.

i tested super early due to symptoms. I’m now 12DPO though and nothing 🤷🏻‍♀️ Has anyone else had a super faint positive like this then a couple days later nothing?

I’ve had backache, headaches, sore boobs (more the area just uncomfortable) nausea first thing for the last 3 mornings & shocked to see BFN each day.

I am 12DPO today and have included the super squinter I saw at 9DPO (yellow one). The other I did today. (Whiter one) I know HCG doubles/triples usually so I’m unsure what to think and read it’s very uncommon to get these evap lines on FRER?

Hospital said I should test at 14/15DPO and then start another course of Provera & then double my Letrozole dose 🤷🏻‍♀️

@CaliGirl47 sorry to hear about MMC. That looks positive to me though. Fingers crossed it sticks.

We haven’t DTD much during fertile windows either due to stress and illness. Managed twice though and used the ferti-lily so hoping it’s made a difference. No symptoms yet though.

Ncl31 · 12/01/2023 15:54

@Natty83
i count the day after the static smiley as O day. But I guess it changes for everyone and unless you test using strips and visually see your peak you won’t know exactly when you’ve ovulated. This is the reason why I try to cover everything. Fingers crossed.
