I am now 37 and have one beautiful 10yrs old boy, my partner has 2 boys 9 & 13yrs.

I bought the Hertility kit online, not yet opened it… I was going to give this cycle my last attempt before investigating 🙃

We got pregnant a year ago but due to personal circumstances we both decided to not go ahead, this I carry so much guilt over 🪃

Now we are both ready and settled in our careers and home but now it has taken nearly 6/7cycles.

today I got my 1st + ovulation test, so beginning our January TWW.

what is everyone else’s story 🌟

@SCK2024oh thats good news 🙌
I took a FRER this morning. I am only 8dpo and I am pretty sure it is negative but looking at the photos I took this morning before work I swear I can see something

Yes I think I can see something too!
would it be too early at 8dpo though for implantation?
retest in a few days 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@SCK2024do you normally feel sick with your period?
I had a small amount of blood on wiping earlier. Currently 7dpo so I am really hoping it is implantation bleeding

No never, super bloated too had to undo my button, never do that.
Ive been for 4x wee’s since 3pm and nothing when wiping 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ll keep you all updated tomorrow x

Yeah, the antibiotic rings a bell. I thought I was given some Provera too, but it was over a decade ago, so I can’t honestly remember. But it sounds like they’ve been a bit shit at explaining the requirements and procedure to poor @SCK2024. Hopefully the negative HCG test will mean the test can still happen (if she manages to avoid AF starting that day) 🤞

pepperminticecream · 08/07/2025 00:16

Oh oops, I’m thinking of a different test (I’ve had them all by now!) When my tubes were checked I was told not to try for that month and it had to be scheduled within a certain amount of days of my period and I still had to show a negative HCG test the day of. I then had to take an antibiotic the day before or day of the procedure.

@SophieP89i feel like I see something too🤞

SophieP89 · 07/07/2025 16:05

I think I'm 8 or 9dpo today, tested this afternoon and I'm sure I can see the faintest of lines 🤔 I asked Chatgpt and it said there is a faint second line so will test again tomorrow morning in the hope I'm not just seeing things!
Been really bloated and have been having lots of twinges and mild cramps over the past couple of days so hoping this is it xx

I very much doubt I would be pregnant if I haven’t had a bfp by tomorrow AF due weds and I’m on the day every cycle usually x

OP posts:
curliegirlie · 07/07/2025 14:17

I think it’s mostly about trying to avoid pregnancy in that cycle tbh.

SCK2024 · 07/07/2025 12:35

It is to check the tubes only though isn’t it?
would my lining matter? I haven’t a clue? 🤷🏻‍♀️😅
DPO 11 bfn x

curliegirlie · 07/07/2025 09:34

Yes, pretty sure I was given something to delay ovulation when I was booked in for an HSG, presumably to avoid this very situation. I never had mine in the end though, as I think I was also told to avoid sex in the cycle I was to have it and we were going away on a mini break. And then it ended up being the cycle I fell pregnant!

pepperminticecream · 07/07/2025 00:47

I’m not sure if they’ll let you move forward if you’re on your period. I’m having one in a week they gave me oral progesterone to take on the date my last period started until the procedure to keep my lining thin. I’m surprised they didn’t do that for you too? They don’t want any chance of pregnancy either of course.

DPO10
was out for a friends birthday last night had a few drinks and seeing a lot in the night so urine quite diluted.

Will test again tomorrow.

according to Flo AF due anywhere between weds and Friday.

hycosy due Weds morning.

does anyone know if they will do it if due period (if was still bfn) is due but not started?

otherwise I’m still going to go ahead, regardless I can’t miss a second one.

Also is there a loop hole where I can pay and be prescribed clomid?

nothing wrong with my tests so far though but it’s been 14/16mths 😞
