Morning all ☺️
10DPO and BFN here - I'm feeling absolutely gutted 😢

We went for fertility tests last week and all has come back fine. Which is great. But have options to try ovulation stimulation or IVF.
The clinic is pushing IVF (maybe due to 💰 😜, but also my age).

I'm determined to be pregnant before December as thats was when I found out I was pregnant last (but had MMC in Jan) and I don't know how I'd cope with Christmas.

Has anyone any experience of letrozole? Or IVF?

I'm kind of drawn towards IVF as I'm just so fed up with all the waiting, calculating, hoping etc etc etc and just want someone to do it for me!!
But would have to wait until October (as pretty busy in September and DH is away a bit).

Any thoughts would be much appreciated
❤️

I wish I could help you but I haven’t had any experiences with IVF/stimulation/letrozole.
Because everything came back fine with the fertility tests, IVF seems like the best choice for you if you have the money. I say go for it.
Baby dust to you !

Morning, my FRER is much darker today! Here’s this mornings at 14DPO…

This looks promising! Hopefully you can get bloods done to be sure xx

@lavafield it stopped around 4pm yesterday and hasn’t come back so far this morning 🤞🏼

lavafield · 29/07/2024 07:26

@DaisyEM this looks encouraging!! Has the bleeding stopped? I really hope it is all progressing nicely and you get your blood tests soon to confirm! ✨

DaisyEM · 29/07/2024 07:17

And this was the last one I did at 11DPO…

Looks like it might not be a chemical after all 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Really glad you had something nice to distract you today. Keep us updated @DaisyEM

DaisyEM · 28/07/2024 17:48

@lavafield @1441x thanks both ☺️ I had a stall at a local market today so that kept me distracted! I didn’t test this morning as didn’t feel it would be helpful. I will do tomorrow though and hopefully will see a stronger line. Late yesterday afternoon the bleeding stopped completely, but started again in the morning, and same again today, stopped about 4pm. I’m going to call the GP first thing and like you’ve said @lavafield im hoping they will do bloods xx

Hey!
Looking for some advise from UK moms to be please!
I tested positive yesterday at 8dpo. I’m going to keep testing for a few days, then try and contact my doctors due to a previous loss.
I am wanting them to tell me whether or not I should take asprin this time around (I have a blood clotting disorder) but they never told me to take it last time. But my question is, is there anywhere else I can go/call if my doctors won’t give me an appointment/speak to me? They are a pain in my area!! ( Also from Wales if that makes a difference haha )

Thank you!

Ring your local haematology service, depends on what disorder you have and what services your area offers, but they may have someone who can help with haematology/obstetric related queries

Lovedatforme · 28/07/2024 09:08

How're you feeling today @DaisyEM ?

1441x · 28/07/2024 07:36

CD30 15DPO for me, and another negative test. AF not arrived on time but I guess she's coming soon, weirdly I've had no period symptoms that I usually do the week before but I guess I convinced myself I was pregnant so just ignored them!
Going to move myself over to the August thread!
@DaisyEM do keep this thread updated!Flowers

lavafield · 27/07/2024 20:21

@DaisyEM Your line is definitely getting darker! Hope it is a sign of pregnancy progressing, and not otherwise.. You do read occasionally about women not even realizing they have been pregnant for a few months, because they swear they have had period -like bleeding all that time ! Do ask GP or EPU on Monday, maybe they will do blood tests.

@Nicolem9 I would press to make sure GP speaks to you on the phone at least!

AF arrived here, as fully expected. At least the cycle was its usual length so I am relieved to start looking forward to August!

@CoolSummer89 sorry to see your chart is so all over the place, and about the male factor infertility. That chart is confusing, but from the looks of things you got a positive OPK just before the temp rise, so at least it does look like the chart is accurate, despite a few odd temps!

CoolSummer89 · 27/07/2024 14:58

My temps have been all over the shop this month, both before and after ovulation, and it is messing with my head.

(Me and DH are dealing with suspected male-factor infertility so very unlikely that I am pregnant this cycle)

DaisyEM · 27/07/2024 14:55

@CoolSummer89 thanks so much xx

DaisyEM · 27/07/2024 14:55

@Lovedatforme I will ☺️ I looked up our closest EPU and it’s 40 mins away (🤦🏻‍♀️) and you have to be referred by your GP, so I’ll speak to the GP Monday

CoolSummer89 · 27/07/2024 14:53

@DaisyEM it definitely looks darker. Have all my fingers and toes crossed for you that it’s just to do with some hormonal changes.

@Lovedatforme congratulations!! 💫

DaisyEM · 27/07/2024 11:38

@1441x I think so too! Surely then it’s not a chemical 🤔 this is such a mind f*ck! Bleeding is still going but it’s not like usual AF, still just spotting. I think my plan is if the lines are still getting darker and I’m still bleeding by Monday I’ll call the GP. Maybe they can do bloods and check hgc levels are where they should be for my gestation. Pregnancy wasn’t straight forward for me with my first either 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'd def ring the GP on monday or maybe the EPU? They should be able to do bloods to see if things are progressing.

DaisyEM · 27/07/2024 13:14

@MrsB902 thanks for having a look for me. Bleeding has increased a bit this afternoon and now getting some on a pad 😔 so I do think most likely chemical 😢

So sorry just read further down and noticed this, what a stressful time! Hopefully the bleeding settles or your GP can give you some answers next week xx

Morning everyone, it’s me again with another test 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve had no bleeding overnight and none when I went to the loo first thing. Here’s my test from today, can someone have a look and see if they think it’s darker than yesterday’s please? I’ll post yesterdays below

Looks much darker to me! Hope it sticks xx
