How long have you been TTC if you don’t mind me asking? Were all your results norma on your hertility test ? The only thing that has cone back slightly abnormal for me is AMH of 7 and pregosterone fluctuations- below 30.
I gave up waiting for nhs so went private and had a scan which was normal and then a Hycosy which was all clear. I’m not sure what else to do. Good news is I’ve got an appointment with Gynocologist beginning of Jan but they’re probably gonna repeat the same tests I had privately.
I don’t really understand about AMH - being at 7 is that very bad TTC - I would be grateful for some insight as I’m constantly in panic mode thinking my time is running out.

I'm 33, TTC #1. I did the hertility testing in June and back then my AMH was 10.33.

Had some serious AF style cramps tonight so expecting her to appear this weekend. The only silver lining is enjoying a few festive tipples (I'd rather the opposite, but trying to find rainbows in this journey!)

I’m 32, TTC baby number one. Apparantly I have an AMH of 7 which is low but I’m not a big ally sure what that means in terms of how long I’ve got.

@Nic17 I feel some dull cramps too, in my case it looks suspiciously more like AF ones 😅

TwinkleStarrr · 01/12/2023 15:49

I m a bit curious, how old are you ladies ? and which baby number are you TTC ?

I'll start I'm 38 and I'm TTC baby #2 God willing.

I'm well aware I should have started TTC a bit earlier but I had my first via C-section almost 2 years ago and it took me ages to get back to some kind of normalcy.

@TwinkleStarrr riiiiight where's our BFPs?!

Also tested morning and afternoon after a 5 hour hold today, BFN. I guess there's still time but I don't have a great feeling this month, still not feeling any big symptoms just the odd cramp but AF must be gearing up by now.

TwinkleStarrr · 01/12/2023 10:29

@Nic17 AF due on Monday according to Flo
I tested this morning too and it was a BFN.
I hope you guys have better news 😄
I can't wait for BFPs to start flowing in this thread... ✨

@TTCbaby1soph nooooo that's so frustrating and confusing for you. We have similar cycles/AF and I would be so confused in your position. Hopefully a doctor can help in some way.

@TwinkleStarrr there's still time! I tested today at DPO and a BFN, trying to keep sane... when are you due AF? Mines due Sunday

@CurlyWurly1991 how are you getting on?

Sorry about your BFN …. It’s horrible each month but on to the next one!

TTCbaby1soph · 30/11/2023 13:41

Im still bleeding guys 😯 I was spotting for 3 days before full flow and I’m now on day 8 of full flow AF. This is really unusual for me, usually I have a 5 day period heavy on day 2/3 but this has been heavy bleeding all the way through with really bad cramps. Not sure what’s going on? Any ideas? If it hasn’t gone by tomorrow I’ll call my GP

TwinkleStarrr · 30/11/2023 12:21

How's everyone doing? I'm 7DPO today, not really feeling anything yet at all. Woke up yesterday with pelvic/hip pain which subsided after an hour or so. Hope you're all doing well xxx

@TTCbaby1soph I'm so sorry lovely. Hope AF is quick for you and you can get cracking with the next cycle. Sending ❤️

After the weirdest cycle AF has definitely arrived in full force! :( on to the next one! I’m thinking I might lay off the supplements for this cycle maybe just stick to the Agnus cactus as I only started taking it last month could take a while to kick it :/

@CurlyWurly1991 well done you for holding offf! I totally get it though, especially if you got a late BFP previously. I had my positive with my chemical at 11DPO. With my early loss I didn't suspect pregnancy so only tested when AF was late which must have been around 15DPO. Wasn't super strong line but confirmed bCB earlg didirial xxxx

CurlyWurly1991 · 24/11/2023 06:33

@Nic17 i try and hold out as long as possible but usually cave by 11dpo. Thing is I got such a late positive with my first child I’m not sure if I would just get false negatives at that point anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️

@TTCbaby1soph keep us posted, everything crossed for you!!!

@CurlyWurly1991 we are similar DPO! Are you an early tester or more restrained than me? 🫣

Hi @TTCbaby1soph I didn’t get a (faint) bfp on a frer until 18dpo with my daughter. I was using fertility friend and only dtd twice that cycle, I can tell that ovulation was confirmed for that date so no doubt I was just a late shower on tests . Spotting was more like light bleeding - had to use sanitary towels etc. 9dpo onwards. Got scanned and all fine , that baby is now 9!
I take agnus castus as well and that is unlikely to cause the spotting. There’s an old thread I’ve been reading on spotting and TTC that is v reassuring… let me try and link to it .Spotting and TTC

And what was your spotting like ?? @CurlyWurly1991

TTCbaby1soph · 23/11/2023 19:01

@CurlyWurly1991 do you remember what CD you got your BFP on your first pregnancy?

TTCbaby1soph · 23/11/2023 19:00

@CurlyWurly1991 yeah it’s horrible isn’t it. Feel like I’ll never me a mother 😢 spotting has come back now more pink than brown and some cramps. I did notice that it seems to start about an hour after I take the Agnus cactus so I’m not sure if it’s related. Maybe I should stop with it. Really hoping AF doesn’t come I’ll be so vexed having a 21 day cycle 😠 feeling really crampy tho so I’m expecting it to
