TTC July 2024 ✨♥️

@CoolSummer89 thank you, it’s horrible not knowing what’s going on. I guess I’ll just have to wait a few days and see if my tests are getting darker. I’ve got bright red blood this morning but still not a huge amount. And part of me thinks if it were a chemical surely my lines would be getting fainter given that this is day two of bleeding. I just don’t know what to think really

@mountainhighhh thanks, it’s done now so not much I can do but will obviously not drink from here on!

Hi guys, so I am 12 dpo today and these are my fmu tests. So if there is a line on the easy at home. Why is it not getting any darker?

Hi darling,

oh that’s good to know - thank you!

we have no idea where I am in my cycle as I’m currently day 66 and on a 38 day delay for AF!

I had my hormones tested last month and my FSH level was low but they didn't seem in a rush or bothered to do anything about it until assessed at fertility appointment properly but also said it's only slightly under and nothing too much to worry about so I think you'll be okay :)

What point of your cycle were you tested?

Don't worry about the wine! My friends a midwife and within the first 2 weeks it really doesn't effect or matter so please don't work yourself up with that!

I also used tampons yesterday and last night which I know you’re not supposed to in pregnancy, so that plus the wine is worrying me 🤦🏻‍♀️

Congrats @Lisa3192!

i’m sorry @DaisyEM that you have had an unsettling couple of days. It’s all such a torturous waiting game isn’t it! I’m glad that you are seeing the positives though and will keep you in my thoughts.

hi @Lou0811 i don’t know much about FSH levels, it does look on the low side but depends on where you are in your cycle which obviously you don’t know as this one has been very unusual! Will the GP be giving you a call?

I feel like I can’t get excited because of the bleeding! It was just brown and red spotting though. I had two glasses of wine last night thinking I was out

@DaisyEM the tests are clearly positive! So there is a chance! I guess there is only way to find out - to see if AF won't hit in full and if lines get darker in coming days. Hope you are keeping patient! X

Well my FRER is positive, I’m honestly so confused! I’m trying a digital now too 😬

@1441x I’ll try a FRER as soon as I can slip away. Think that should give me my answer 🤞🏼 I didn’t have any implantation bleeding with my son, but I did have bleeding from 9 weeks that went on through my pregnancy due to a polyp 🤦🏻‍♀️

@DaisyEM Yeap I tested twice, once last weekend and once mid week even though I knew it was too early! AF due tomorrow so I'm just going to wait and see.
You may just be having an implantation bleed or false period. This happened to me with my first, I had a super light period in the March for 3 days and then AF never arrived in April and when I tested I was 5 weeks pregnant

Yesterdays test

AF is just brown and red spotting for me. Mine does always start slow though. I did a test this morning and I’m still getting a line. I would be 12 DPO I think. I’ll post a photo of yesterday’s too, as I don’t think the line has gotten any darker. Tempted to do a FRER 😬 starting to wonder if these are just dud tests!!

@lavafield sorry to hear it was a BFN for you, sounds like there’s been a lot going on this month. Hopefully next month will be a lot more straightforward. Yep that’s because it takes 3 months for an egg to mature, which is why nhs say folic acid for 3 months before conception.

@1441x awh thanks so much. Have you tested yet this month?

@Marshmallow99 sorry to hear AF came for you too, best of luck with your job interviews x

I got the faintest possible line on the clear blue intro early test!

Hi all,

off the back of my pregnancy test post being BFN with FRER - day 65 of cycle with no AF which is 37 days late

I have my lab results back. Can any one interpret whether this is good please? No idea where I am in my cycle. Had some very gummy, stretchy CM - clear with a hint of a milky white the past 3 days

thanks x

10dpo Vs 12dpo does anyone see much progression with lines? Going to hold out to the weekend and do a digital but I was worried lines weren't getting darker
Also is it normal for line to still be so faint 12dpo?

Ahh I thought I attached the photo!

negative, isn’t it? :(

Another BFN with FRER - day 65 of cycle with no AF which is 37 days late…

@DaisyEM so sorry to see AF arrived for you 😢, mine has also come full force today so I am out this month. I’ve had a few job interviews this week so think I’ll take a little break if I’m successful with any! Good luck everyone✨ xx

@DaisyEM Sorry to read that AF arrived! I've been closely watching your journey as my cycle is a few days after yours. August is just around the corner, another month to start again and as you mentioned at least you got the timings spot on! Sending big hugs

I am getting BFNs on 13DPO and feel like AF is around the corner. Focusing on the next cycle. I was ill this month, had flights, little sleep and my CoQ10 has only been working for less than two months. I read it takes three months to improve egg quality. I also had a mammogram in late April I think X-ray also hit those eggs in development so am focusing on the months from August on for healthier eggs!

@lavafield thanks, it's rubbish and I do feel a bit sad about it but never mind. Onto the next cycle.

@Lisa3192 I still feel like I can see a whisper of something but it's so so faint x

I am also 11 dpo today and this is my test! I don’t think I see anything tbh! If there was it would have been darker by now!
