@Littlemiss42andfabulous congratulations 🤞🏻 for a sticky bean for you!

@99pctpractice brilliant thank you! Yes I've had a look at Gynem, so I've got an idea of that one it seems good! @October1979 would you mind me picking your brains on the costs with Gynem please? Happy to pm if that's easier, I know you have your hands full at the moment! Xx

Thank you @Kelb79 I think factoring in flights etc all helps with the decision! We're their de packages reasonably priced? I'll have a look at them thank you

Hi and welcome @GingerFox2021 sorry to hear this, I've also had no lines in over 5 years so I feel your pain.

@October1979 thank you for the new thread

For those who don't know me I'm 44 partner 42 we each have two older teenagers but none together
1 mc 6 years ago and nothing since, adenomyosis and suspected endometriosis, possible pcos. Maybe just old duff eggs and lazy sperm! Looking at ivf abroad, possibly one cycle oe then de or maybe a tandem cycle.

How many dpo are you @Trigger2018 ? As it’s faint, maybe test again in the morning with fmu, or better yet in a day or two if you can stand the wait 🤞

Thanks for the new thread @October1979 .

Hi @GingerFox2021, I saw your message and remember your messages from earlier in the thread. I’m also ttc #2 for 2.5 years so our stories are very similar. I wanted to reply to you on the old thread but the thread is closed. Tagging you here and sent you a private msg to make sure you didn’t feel like no one replied.

Trigger2018 · 25/04/2023 19:30

Thank you both so very much. At first I thought it was my eye sight. X

YellowLoafers · 25/04/2023 19:23

@Trigger2018 I can see it too

Iusedtobedontcall · 25/04/2023 19:15

@Trigger2018 - I can see it.

Trigger2018 · 25/04/2023 18:56

Hi all I was just wondering if anyone else can see a very faint second line. Many thanks

Hi all,
I am 42 with 3 dc aged 13, 15 and 17. TTC sc number 4 with DH (our first together but he has 2 dc).

I had a MMC in August (accidental pregnancy).

I then conceived again in December but my girl had a high risk screening on NIPT for trisomy 21 and I made the very sad decision to terminate. Trying again and trying to be positive.

Hi All

42, TTC number 1 for 2 years. Fertility tests showed unexplained infertility in October 2022. Started IVF January 2023. FET 11th April and tested positive on 23rd April, so tentatively excited as it’s super early days.

Sending luck and love to all ❤️

42 this week, TTC number 1.
2/2 pregnancies miscarried.
DP deserves a medal for the performance he put in during ovulation week (we messed up last month).
Due Monday, negative tests Sunday and yesterday. Going to hold off testing again until Thursday. Don't fancy a BFN on my birthday, but going away for the weekend, I'll have a bottle of wine if not pregnant.

Kelb79 · 25/04/2023 15:06

Thanks @October1979 🙏🏼😘

43
TTC 4 years, unexplained infertility but probably diminished ovarian reserve
MMC x 1
OE IVF x 3
DE IVF a go-go - transfer booked for early June! 🫣

Hi, joining the new thread.
Just going into my 2ww so need to keep busy🙂

SomnolentSekhmet · 25/04/2023 14:48

I'm still here, chugging along. Just turned 46, TTC no.3 since 2020, MMC at 42 and 43, 7weeks each time. Tentatively considering donor IVF or might just get more horses 🤣

Littlemiss42andfabulous · 25/04/2023 14:20

Thanks @October1979 for starting another thread.

43, Conceived our 15 month daughter naturally age 41 after actively TTC for a year. 5 months into TTC number 2, have a faint line on a cheapie stick and period 2 days late 😊
