TTC March 2024 ❤️✨

This looks really really promising! 🤞🏼

@Daniki reassuring to hear. Thank you!

Thank you! I’ve looked into private fertility specialists, the ones in my area do a lot of tests for about £250 but progesterone isn’t one of them which I find crazy? It’s another £200 on top!

@Daisychain27 so I'm in Ireland so will be diff if you're the NHS but I paid privately to see a fertility specialist, she specialises in recurrent miscarriages, as I didn't want to wait to have the third to be seen publicly!
Good job as I haven't been able to get pregnant since the second loss 🙈 well i had a chemical last May but unsure if they take that into account!

@waltzingintomonday I think AF is going to be due about 16th March so I’ve got a good while to go yet! What about you?

Oh I love it when the timing works out like that, so many of my friends say they conceived when away as they weren’t as stressed and more relaxed!! Got everything crossed for you, sounds promising! Def makes sense to get the most out of this cycle, my partner works away sometimes and it’s been frustrating when we can’t BD at the right time, so I agree you’ve got to go for it when you get the chance!

I think I spoke too soon on the not spotting though, my CM today had the slightest tiniest brown tinge :( here we go again!

Awww I'm so happy to see you guys get some positive tests! Very very exciting and wishing the rest of you all of the luck in the coming days.

I'm going to take a wee break (literally) from Mumsnet as I've spent way more time than I care to admit trawling through threads. I'll probably be back as I approach Ovulation 😅

Hiya, would you mind explaining how you got that prescribed privately? I wouldn’t have a clue where to go! Was that through a fertility clinic? Or a private gynae? Thank you

@Daisychain27 yay twins! Hopefully you managed to catch ovulation - my Flo app is always way off to premom but I've been using the clearblue ovulation tests and pretty sure I ovulated day 18 (last Saturday). When is AF due for you?
We were, by chance, away for the three days before, ovulation day, and the day after so we turned it into a weekend of BD-ing...🤣 We need to move out of our house for a few weeks next cycle so we can get it rewired and will be living with the in-laws, so wanted to make the most of our change this month before the fun stops for a cycle!

@RW269 @DaringlyDizzy those both look positive to me! Fabulous news and fingers crossed everything goes well 🤞🏼🤞🏼. I think that’s 3 positives for the march thread now 🎉🎉🎉.

@Chaz693 Congratulations!! Awesome news!

@Daisychain27 I'm 6dpo and feels like time is moving sooooo sloooowly

@Dogscanlookup I've just started on the Proov PDG tests today and it does say anything other than first morning urine can lead to inaccurate results so could be what's thrown it off after three high days if those were all fmu.

@Needydoubleline Fingers crossed for you! Sounds sensible to wait a few days given cycle might not have fully settled following surgery. Doctor has said we're good to try for 6months whilst I'm on the waitlist for surgery to get mine out along with some fibroids. I am equally nervous about having issues if I get pregnant before surgery but equally nervous about waiting till after😅

@RW269 Oooooh, that looks really promising, positive dare I say - exciting!!

@RW269 defo looks promising to me! I’ve never had an indent on wondfo! And the last time I was pregnant (ended in ectopic) I tried every brand under the sun and wondfo always showed first and had darker lines than even frer and boots early ones!

ARGH the pharmacy has no FRER!!!! Ive been to three. So today's test is below. I think I am pregnant? Too scared to let it be real. This was taken 4 min of POS so cant be an evap can it?? Or is 4 min enough time for an EVAP?

@RW269 this was me last night when the first response turned up and I'd only managed to do a 2 hour hold lol 😂 I have no willpower x

@RW269 ohh this looks like a positive!!

@Daniki ah sorry you’ve been in this situation so long! Yeah I’m going to speak to doctors and see what they suggest. My proov app suggests that I did ovulate but maybe not so great egg quality hence the progesterone dip. When are you testing this month?

@RW269 if you can hold off I would. But you're stronger than me! My line on my first response last night was super faint and made me nervous but this mornings one was much more obvious! X I've got my fingers crossed for you. Xx maybe wait till this evening and if you have any more wondfo tests take one of them after a long hold. X

Looks positive to me! How many dpo are you?

What tests are they? I've never known a test to show an evap that dark before. Fingerscrossed for you. X

@Dogscanlookup yes it's a tricky one, I am in the same boat. I have low progesterone but have not been able to get pregnant since my last miscarriage in nov 22. I have progesterone to take from the minute I get a BFP 🙈 I did go two cycles of taking it from 3dpo-10dpo to see if it worked but nothing! That is the protocol for some fertility treatments, and makes sense to try and boost it! I also done 4 cycles of letrozole to stimulate ovulation (I'm sure I do but anyway) and it didn't work for but might be worthwhile asking for you? We need progesterone to ovulate so that might help? If AF comes this week then I have to start tamoxifen and we will be doing follicle tracking and trigger shot x

@Daisychain27 thank you, really hoping this is a good sign for you! This is what I’m wondering, even if I’m conceiving it’s not having a chance to implant. I’ve got progesterone to take when I’m pregnant but I can’t sodding get pregnant?!
@YaWeeFurryBastard yeah I’m definitely going to do this. Doing their job at this moment…
@Daniki so the reason GPs or consultants don’t like giving progesterone is because it’s not free on the NHS, it costs them. So they’re reluctant. I spoke to gynae two months ago after scans and he said he couldn’t give me progesterone as it would stop me getting pregnant?! I was so confused as I’ve heard so many women take it after ovulation to help.

thank you for all the support guys. Right now I just feel in a dark hole and not really sure how to get out.
