So turns out I have PCOS and I ovulate occasionally and not other months - which is very frustrating. I went private to check. However as was through my work Bupa - doesnt cover fertility related problems so they couldnt offer any further help.

Not quite sure what I can do about this? Anyone with PCOS here?

Another month of trying Day 12 - does anyone else get fed up?

@CinderRosie - Looks like a pos to me!

Hi @Shelle1504 ! My partner doesn't enjoy the pressure either, it's nice to have a place to talk about it all !!

Shelle1504 · 07/08/2023 14:56

Oops just realised I’m 39 not 38!!!!!!! even worse!!

Shelle1504 · 07/08/2023 14:53

Hello all,
Just stumbled across this thread - can I join?

Re-registered with Mumsnet after many many years (18 y/o son!) and trying to remember all the terminology! Now recently married with a new partner and TTC! I’m 38 and he’s 41 so
hoping we’re not too late!

Currently 10DPO and not feeling hopeful this month as PMS symptoms have kicked in! Would be great to go through the next cycle with you all :-). DH is absolutely great but I don’t like to talk about it too much with him as he feels pressured and would prefer things to spontaneously happen naturally, but unfortunately time is not on our side, so would be great to be able to talk about OPKs etc with you all.

Good luck on your journeys and hopefully we all get a BFP soon!

I’m guessing I’m 8-10 dpo ish. I’ve had some cramps. trying not to get too excited that it could be implantation. Probs more likely my period due.

Ooo @CinderRosie this is exciting!

Goldie1234 · 06/08/2023 20:46

Ahh @CinderRosie sounds like an implantation dip !!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

ttcthoughts · 06/08/2023 20:09

oh my goodness @CinderRosie defo lines on both tests! How exciting!! 🎉

CinderRosie · 06/08/2023 16:26

Good luck everyone 🤞🏻 ✨

CinderRosie · 06/08/2023 16:24

Thank you guys, I can’t quite believe it and don’t think I will until I see either a positive digi or a solid thick line. I’m so scared of a chemical too as know how common they are. Symptoms-wise I feel everything I’d usually feel with PMS. Fatigue, tender breasts and had a headache yesterday. Have also had very very slight cramps sensations, and today there’s also been a slight bubbling sensation in my lower stomach which I’ve never had before. My BBT plummeted yesterday below the cover line and today has shot right back up which again hasn’t happened before.

Goldie1234 · 06/08/2023 16:16

Also 9dpo and v sore boobs, been testing but still holding out hope for a positive over the next few days !!

Goldie1234 · 06/08/2023 16:15

Amazing news @CinderRosie congratulations!! Any symptoms??

Eeee looks like a line to me! Congrats @CinderRosie xx

GinAndBearIt90 · 06/08/2023 14:12

@CinderRosie definitely a line there!! 🎉🎉🎉

No AF yet for me, but my last cycle was 36 days so I'm holding out a few more days until testing just in case its just being late again!

mahii95 · 06/08/2023 13:46

@CinderRosie I see a line on both of them.. yaayu congrats 🎉 xx

CinderRosie · 06/08/2023 11:25

How is everyone doing?? I am 9DPO today and got this result on the FRER with FMU, I did an easy @ home with the same wee but it was stark white, just done another with 3rd/4th wee and got a faint line?

Come wait with me - July onwards

I'm 13 DPO so AF due in the next day or 2! No bloating, had some minor cramping this morning so I am sure it is on its way. Looking forward to trying properly next cycle 😊

Goldie1234 · 02/08/2023 20:08

Haha @HavinKittens was that a little subconscious slip and you'll be testing by the end of the week !? I like the determination though !

@mahii95 you have some serious will power !!

I WILL be waiting til I’ve missed my period this week. I must learn to wait! Otherwise I torture myself.

CinderRosie · 02/08/2023 18:58

I want to wait as long as possible to test, last month I tested at 9DPO and drove myself a bit mad squinting at evaps 😂 if I start to get my usual pre-AF spotting by the start of next week I will know I’m out anyway.

mahii95 · 02/08/2023 18:51

Hi, I'm 8dpo today was so tempted to test but didn't 😬 trying to hold off till 11dpo or might do a boots early on Friday at 10dpo and save my digi till the actual weekend 🙈

What about you ladies x

Goldie1234 · 02/08/2023 18:40

@mahii95 how are you doing ?

Goldie1234 · 02/08/2023 18:40

I've heard the boots ones are just as good as frer.. I've been on the look out but not spotted an frer in the last couple of months !
Also 5dpo and desperate for test day ha I think I'll only be able to wait til 8dpo on Saturday.. I only have 4 tests with me and not able to get any more while away on holiday so trying to think strategically !!
Anyone testing in the next few days ?

CinderRosie · 02/08/2023 18:06

How is everyone? 5DPO today, zero symptoms except my usual post-ovulation ones. I wanted to have a FRER ready for when it’s time for testing but can’t see them anywhere except Amazon at £10 for one test and no delivery for a week 😳
